Lack of notability. No sources in article are enough to establish notability and all a search threw up (a short one, I had to stop before I threw up) were bubbles of self-published guff. Article creator looks very much like either the subject of this bio or a paid contributor. TheLongTone ( talk) 13:55, 8 September 2023 (UTC)

- I do not think that any of those links do anything to establish notability.The firstthree merely quote her; they are not about her. I couldt find the mention in the fourth, but I think it takes more than a mention in an alumnus newletter to establish the notability of a book. Two reviews in independant reputable publications, I believe.

- I would also point out that the perpetrator of this article (whose editing history- ten edits and then this confection- suggests that they are either Ms Grotts herself or a paid lackey of some stripe) could only come with an Amazon listing and something from a PR company as refs for the "book" (more a booklet; only 58 pages) suggest that there is nothing of any substane out there. Is there a different set of notability criteria for pamphlets? TheLongTone ( talk) 14:59, 11 September 2023 (UTC)

- Delete. I can only find trivial mentions, nothing that I would consider WP:SIGCOV. Fails WP:GNG and any other notability standards I can think of. Jacona ( talk) 15:09, 28 September 2023 (UTC)
