I PRODed this with the rationale ‘Bio of non notable self-published author. Article created by her son who appears to be using it to promote himself as a composer. No reliable independent sources since 2008.’ PROD was contested by another editor. Please note that the article itself says ‘She has self-published two practical textbooks on classroom management.’ Mccapra ( talk) 22:27, 28 September 2019 (UTC)

- Delete Nothing in the article supports a claim of notability and no reliable and verifiable sources were found in a Google search to support a claim of notability. Alansohn ( talk) 04:43, 29 September 2019 (UTC)
- Delete because no claim of notability, nothing significant about this writer for inclusion. KartikeyaS343 ( talk) 16:52, 29 September 2019 (UTC)
- Delete her text books were self-published. Clear notability fail. John Pack Lambert ( talk) 22:38, 29 September 2019 (UTC)
- Comment. This is a badly written article about a professor, a former dean of a school of education, and an expert in early childhood education. It is very difficult to find support for an article about an educator because it is not a high citation area. The comments here make her sound like some minor self-published author. She is author and co-author of two conventionally published textbooks, one in a second edition, and both widely held in university libraries. [1] [2] They don't go away because she later self-published books on classroom management. I can't find reviews for the textbooks, however. StarryGrandma ( talk) 23:58, 29 September 2019 (UTC)
