Article contains no information besides listing one seemingly unnotable book by this author. The only other thing is a link to the author's website, and the page has not been notably updated or edited since November. PasswordUsername (talk) 13:28, 28 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
I am withdrawing this nominaiton – author is indeed notable. I'll look into fixing this also. Thanks, DGG. PasswordUsername (talk) 07:04, 29 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete A Google search suggests that she has individually, and jointly with her husband Herm Auch, written and illustrated at least 10 children's books. I can't find any in depth coverage about her though that would provide reliable sources for a Wikipedia article. It is possible that one or more of her books is notable, I have not looked.

• Keep, certainly notable, published by Random House and Bantam Books. I have added an infobox and citations, haven't done more as have little time at present. Jezhotwells (talk) 18:33, 28 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

• Strong Keep Important childrens author. His novel, One handed catch is actually in over 2200 libraries according of WorldCatIdentities [1], with about 100 reviews in Google News Archive, including Publishers Weekly, NY Times, School Library Journal, etc etc. --the sort of secondary references that establish notability. [2] . Her many other books similarly. 13 books with over 1000 holdings each, and which will have multiple reviews, because that's the basis on which public libraries buy-an extremely strong record. WP:BEFORE should be obligatory to prevent this careless nomination. Of course, it still needs to be done right: a plain g search doesn't turn up the right material specifically enough. GNewsArchive is now the easy way for reviews of popular books--a great convenience.DGG (talk) 00:11, 29 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep per DGG's research. matt91486 (talk) 01:42, 29 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
