Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Ruth Symes
Not all authors are necessarily notable.  The article makes a number of claims including that she wrote for The Hoobs.  However, she does not have a writing credit on IMDB http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0462108/fullcredits#writers.  It claims that her book was nominated for the Carnegie Medal.  However a search of finalists for the medal does not pull up her name http://www.carnegiegreenaway.org.uk/carnegie/rec_arch.html.  Finally, The Master of Secrets, the nominated book, has a rather low rating on Amazon.uk http://www.amazon.co.uk/Master-Secrets-Ruth-Symes/dp/0140382666/sr=1-12/qid=1165474905/ref=sr_1_12/202-3997330-5585409?ie=UTF8&s=books.  if more substatiation for her notability can be provided I will gladly change my vote.  Amazon may not be the best source for sales of UK books so I am open to other sources.   concerns don't help
