Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Susan M. Gaines
I had never heard of Susan Gaines prior to this AfD, I still don't know much about her, and I have never edited the article. I think that there is some misunderstanding on the delete "side" about . As "additional criteria" under , a person is "generally notable" if they meet any of the specific criteria for persons of their type. Since Susan Gaines is an author, she is presumed to be notable if she meets any of the criteria of . It is arguable that she meets ''several'' of the  criteria, but it is '''certain''' that she has "created... a significant or well-known work, or body of work, that has been the subject of... multiple independent periodical articles or reviews". In a Wikipedia_talk:Notability_(people)/Archive_2010#_.233_is_unclear|recent discussion on the  guideline, no one was able to provide an example of an article about the author of a notable book being deleted on notability grounds. It very clearly and explicitly is the intention of  to extend the notability of a notable book to its author. Anyone who believes that this article should be deleted on notability grounds has the responsibility to show why Susan Gaines is not notable ''despite'' being the author of a notable book, which otherwise would be presumed to make her notable per guidelines
