Deletion of Gayle Laakmann McDowell

Comment: for a book to be notable as a best seller, we would need a independent refs suppporting that. Currently there are a bunch of press releases which just claim it's a "best seller" and an interview which suggests it didn't make it into the top 250 books. That doesn't sound notable to me. The real question is what it's peak position on the NYTimes list (or notable independent list) was. See  for comphrensive discussion as to why any notability from the book would not translate to notability to the author
