A journalist, winner of a youth journalism award, but that's it. As a book writer - published one book, and it was co-authored with two other individuals. The sources present don't seem to provide in-depth coverage of her - what's there seems no better than the book publisher author's bio blurb. I don't think one minor journalist award (and yes,
Axel-Springer-Preis is minor - it is not a household name, the article itself has notability issues as wrritten, and vast majority of recipients are red links here and on
de wiki) and one-third book published merit passing
WP:GNG or related criteria. At best,
WP:TOOSOON - because with all due respect, this person is not doing anything worthy of an encyclopedic article, not yet at least. Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus|

Delete as nothing significant here at WorldCat or anything else for that matter, and quite honestly nothing actually significant as it is. Although GermanWiki has it, it's to my understanding GermanWiki has simply not maintained itself as it should recently, thus we'll delete this ourselves in English.

Comment to keep: I created the article because I try to fill red links. I prefer to see a blue link to a stub like
Alize Bota [
de. The one book was not just one book but a book that coined a term in political talk and news. If you have to delete it please userfy, because I will have no time to expand it until next year, working on a FA. She will then be back for women's history month. --

Per
WP:GOOGLEHITS, please indicate which sources indicate notability. Your Google search returns lots of articles written by her, which don't give her any notability. In fact, of the first page of results, 8 are direct links to articles by her, one is not about Alice Bota but about "Alice, bota...", and the one remaining is apparently a forum(?). The second page looks like more of the same. Basically, for a journalist you shouldn't just point to Google News and say "but there are many hits for her name", as that only verifies that she is a journalist but otherwise is meaningless.

Yes, by all means, try reading it again. The Springer award is a separate argument, which I didn't argue against. His other argument ("lots of news sources" with a simple Google News search) though is invalid. if someone makes one good argument and one bad, there's is nothing wrong with pointing out that one argument they used is bad.

I am aware of GOOGLEHITS, particularly the part that says "Note further that searches using Google's specialty tools, such as Google Books, Google Scholar, and Google News are more likely to return reliable sources that can be useful in improving articles than the default Google web search."

You may be aware of it, but you clearly didn't understand it (or cared about it). The News search you gave as argument proves nothing about her notability. The individual sources given by SusunW, yes (and the subject is notable), but what you presented was a useless, lazy "just look at Google" argument.

Keep: Most sources are in German, but the article over there appears stable and I see nothing here to argue that this individual does not pass WP:N. Her notability is established based upon multiple independent sources describing accomplishments in multiple areas of endeavour.
