Any other background info that might help me understand your concerns

Thanks. By the way, the chance of someone noticing a comment left on the discussion page for a daily deletion list is one in a zillion. Comment on this page for now. Gazpacho 06:20, 21 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

This entire WiKi entry is self promotion. The links go to her self publishing website, her personal website, and a list of other women who have written rpg material. Odd. Very odd indeed. Glyph71 (talk) 14:38, 1 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Why not take it to AfD then? I can't find anything myself that shows notability. Dougweller (talk) 15:03, 1 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Added some reviews as refs for her book. Blueman33 (talk) 09:12, 20 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The subject passes Wikipedia:Notability (people)#Basic criteria, which says:

People are presumed notable if they have received significant coverage in multiple published secondary sources that are reliable, intellectually independent of each other, and independent of the subject.
If the depth of coverage in any given source is not substantial, then multiple independent sources may be combined to demonstrate notability; trivial coverage of a subject by secondary sources is not usually sufficient to establish notability.

The article notes: "Several months later, Dawson published a short story called "Brain Food" in Glassboro State's literary magazine. It was, she said, about cannibalism on campus. Someone was killing all the honor students to help increase the candlepower of others. That is how the mind of a promising horror story writer works. Dawson, 20, has been writing those kinds of stories for seven years, ever since she read a Stephen King novel and decided she could do better. ... One of her stories, about a company illegally testing a miracle-grow fertilizer, recently won one of five awards given nationally in a horror writing competition. The prize: publication in a new anthology that will be out any day. Dawson, a Glassboro State junior and English major, also has entered a 150-page manuscript in the Iowa Short Fiction Awards contest. She said her creative writing professor, Antoinette Libro, had told her a horror collection had never won the top prize, but if any had a chance, hers did."
