Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Dr. Lisa Christiansen
I initially opposed the inclusion of this article on Wikipedia due to blatant promotional tone. The article was copy edited, but still lacked content establishing her notability. After extensive work on the article, review of her books, and research of books and magazines that mention her, I realized that notability is established, based on the fact that a book has been written entirely about her. '''''' states: ''A person is presumed to be notable if he or she has been the subject of published secondary source material which is reliable, intellectually independent, and independent of the subject.'' The book, ''Gi–Dee–Thlo–Ah–Ee, of the Blue People Clan'', was written in 1974, independent of any involvement by Christiansen, published by the Cherokee Nation, with copies in the Library of Congress, which includes this book and noted in their catalog and listings. Gi–Dee–Thlo–Ah–Ee is Christiansen's native Cherokee name given at birth. I am now recommending that this article be kept, due to established notability as the subject of a published book, reliable and independent of the subject. Christiansen was eight years old when this book was written. Her notability was established according to the Nation upon the death of her mother, since Christiansen was then the last surviving descendant of Sequoyah. The article is no longer written in a promotional tone and cannot be considered spam
