Deletion of Irene Radford

Comment: for now. The evidence that Radford=Karr is thin, and if they do happen to be the same person, and she wants to maintain two separate identities, I don't see a problem with that if we can get sources for Radford. Like I said above, my gut told me being published by a couple major houses should confer at least minor notability, but as it stands, WP:AUTHOR prevails, so we need more sources. "What do they want?"...well, see  about why there are tens of thousands of schlocky articles while others get Afd'd. Anyone with the good/mis- fortune to have a connection with Oregon is going to have their article pop up on on |WikiProject Oregon's watchlist. That means it's more likely something will end up at Afd, but it also means there is a better chance for it to be improved. I'll take back my merge proposal, but I'm leaning toward ''weak delete'' at this point. At worst, give her a few more years. P.S. I just reverted an anon edit that pretty much rendered the article incomprehensible. I'm not making any accusations here but those who know Ms. Radford, be sure to tell her that it's probably not a good idea to edit her own article, for  reasons. Contributions and discussion on the article's talk page would be most welcome. Hopefully she can set up her own account. I note also that the article seems to have been created by someone running a convention at which Ms. Radford will appear. Slightly less COI, but we aren't here to help provide PR for such things. That said, I'm hoping we can bring this up to standard, it seems like such a borderline case of NN. P.P.S. There are at http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special%3ASearch&redirs=0&search=%22Willamette+Writers%22&fulltext=Search&ns0=1 least a couple notable people connected with Willamette Writers
