(A previous PROD for this page was removed
[1]) Article fails WP:GNG, and
Wikipedia:Notability (books). Even if the author's work is notable (her book is currently being
afded too) I still don't think it meets the "historically significant" part of
WP:BKCRIT.

Weak keep: I agree with the OP's criticisms so I've made significant changes to the page in an attempt to meet
WP:GNG, although it's still a very weak page. I could only find a couple of sources via a ProQuest database search of Australian and New Zealand newspapers (deeper and broader than Google); and
this single source via Google, that really doesn't qualify anyway but I've included it so the community can see a 'best effort'. I won't be offended if the consensus is to delete!

Keep As seen in the books afd Austlit lists 5 articles on that book. It also lists one on her other book
[2]. A search of newsbank finds more on her, that book and her work in raising awareness around anorexia, some listed below. Enough coverage.

Thanks
duffbeerforme. I've added those references and cleaned up the copy some more. I think the page looks respectable now and clearly passes
WP:GNG.

Nomination Withdrawn I would like to thank everyone that added citations for the article and would like to withdraw my AfD due to the expansion of the article after the nomination.
