Comment: The sources presented in the article and above convince me that the subject of this article comfortable meets GNG. The concerns here seem to be puffery/neutrality; in which case I don't think deletion is necessary, because the article is nowhere near bad enough to justify . Keep it, purge the puffery

Comment: I found no '''coverage about''' other than in small local presses. Userfy would be acceptable as well, although |it might be simpler just to start from scratch

Comment: On the one hand, this is the best-sourced |autobiography I have seen in a long time.  On the other hand, it is an autobiography.  If Stablein is notable, someone can write a |biography of a living person about her.  I suspect that she is notable, and that someone can write a biography

Comment: This is the best-sourced autobiography I have seen in a long time.  It reads like it was written by a professional writer (which it was).  However, it is an autobiography.  Maybe we need to revise the |autobiography policy to clarify the matter of autobiographies

Comment: meets  or at least one of her books, ''Sleeping in Caves'', does.  A search has brought up these (some already in article, some may not be useable?) - 3 reviews of ''Sleeping in Caves'': http://articles.latimes.com/1985-12-22/books/bk-20112_1_census-taker - ''LA Times'' of Dec 1985 - "Stablein has a piquant, brusque way with words, but this slender volume is the stuff of late afternoons and reminiscing over herbal tea. In 1985, this all seems a bit, well, dated and quaint.", http://www.publishersweekly.com/978-0-9726357-0-7 - ''Publisher's Weekly'' review of ''Sleeping in Caves'' - "Her travelogue is strikingly self-absorbed ... there's a paucity of information about the people she encounters." and "The effect is claustrophobic and meandering, although the book briefly coalesces in the chapter "Turning the Wheel," where the author writes, "My path circles, fans out like ripples from a stone tossed into a pond."", http://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/sleeping-in-caves-a-sixties-himalayan-memoir-marilyn-stablein/1023674086?ean=9780972635707#productInfoTabs- ''Barnes & Noble'' site shows a Library Journal review - "Her detailed observations of cultural and religious rituals have scholarly merit, while her anecdotes on such topics as tea-making, meditation in caves, and innovative survival skills offer light and enjoyable entertainment.", .  http://star-news.info/2015/09/21/northeast-neighbor-marilyn-stablein-makes-art-in-form-of-books/ - ''The Hollywood Star News'' (don't think this local community freebie newspaper useable for notability) of Sept 2015 discusses an exhibition of her art held at a local gallery, http://www.nytimes.com/2015/08/14/arts/design/review-robert-seydel-the-eye-in-matter-looks-at-an-artists-traces.html - ''New York Times'' review of someone elses work that includes one of Stablein's books in a list so not notable, http://susanhenselgallery.blogspot.com.au/2012/04/readers-art-12-marilyn-stablein.html - another local gallery displaying her works, http://connection.ebscohost.com/c/book-reviews/19378629/sleeping-caves-sixties-himalayan-memoir and http://connection.ebscohost.com/c/book-reviews/19378629/sleeping-caves-sixties-himalayan-memoir- ''EBSCO Information Services|EBSCO Host'' lists 2 reviews of her books in ''Raven Chronicles'' magazine including another one for ''Sleeping in Caves

Comment: I am using the article talk page to log in outline what I believe is required. That may be a useful basis for those who either wish to edit this now, or to await possible migration to Draft: namespace. I agree with {{U|Joseph2302}} that autobiographies are deprecated, but, by custom,  has provided a useful development area for those in the past. I hold them to a far higher standard prior to acceptance than I might with a non COI offering

Comment: or possibly '''userfy'''- self-promoting |autobiography with far too many |primary sources. Would prefer delete over userfy, as it would send a stronger message that |Wikipedia is not for autobiographies
