Basically BLP1E. The PublishAmerica coverage is about that company with one or two quotes from Prather about that company, this doesn't make her association with that company notable. Otherwise, the only thing she's known for is the hoax. I've tried to figure out how to make this article about the hoax and not a biography, but I haven't been able to. As it stands, it violates BLP1E. GigglesnortHotel ( talk) 15:09, 20 February 2018 (UTC) reply

• Delete sadly such hoaxes are far too common to be worth individual articles in all except a few highly publicized cases. On the other hand, at times the line between actual hoaxes and use of inflamatory language to make a point is a complex. Books have been written about racist and other bias related hoaxes, going on for a long time, full of example after example of people who did things like write language insulting them on their race/religion/ethnicity etc on a board outside their dorm room, claimed they were victims of a "hate crime", and it was later determined they had perpetrated the whole thing.
