Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Joan Marie Whelan
Does not pass . I am seeing very little evidence of substantial coverage by independent reliable sources. Only 3 hits in googlenewshttp://news.google.com/archivesearch?hl=en&um=1&ie=UTF-8&tab=wn&q=%22Joan+Marie+Whelan%22 (2 of which may be false positives) and very little in googlebookshttp://books.google.com/books?hl=en&um=1&ie=UTF-8&q=%22Joan%20Marie%20Whelan%22&sa=N&tab=np. Her books do not seem to widely held by libraries. WorldCat search shows U.S. holdings of only one of her books, and only in 3 librarieshttp://www.worldcat.org/search?q=au%3AJoan+Marie+Whelan&qt=hot_author.  Plus  and  issues here, so all in all, delete
