BLP with incredibly weak sourcing, consisting of USENET posts, web comics, unattributed and unpublished PRIMARY material, etc. Does not meet WP:AUTHOR or GNG. Tgeairn (talk) 15:03, 28 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. I did some quick research, and can find only various Christian blogs that mention this woman, most of whom seem to not think very highly of her. I couldn't find even one reliable secondary source that covers any of her supposed "best-selling" books. LHM^{ask me a question} 16:15, 28 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Delete As per nom. A few mentions on assorted blogs but that's about it. Fails WP:GNG with no significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject and fails WP:AUTHOR no multiple independent periodical articles or reviews about her.

Delete for lack of coverage, much less significant coverage, in reliable sources. Fails WP:NOTEBLP fails WP:AUTHOR. The book The Gifts of the Body (Harper-Collins, 1994) is by a different Rebecca Brown. --Bejnar (talk) 18:43, 28 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Delete I agree with Tgeairn. Two of the current sources are self published and the third is a comic strip that is not RS does not mention the BLP as author. Even if it did it would still not be notable. Same as other editors, I also was unable to find any RS on this BLP. --Crystallizedcarbon (talk) 20:28, 28 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per above - No evidence of notability, Fails GNG. –Davey2010 • (talk) 20:34, 28 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Not notable per above. Despite having been a watcher of this article for several years, I cannot disagree with the above arguments and would not be upset if this article was simply deleted.Legitimus (talk) 21:50, 28 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Delete fails GNG. - Cwobeel (talk) 23:22, 28 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Note: While this article is based on lousy sources (although I will quibble with those who say that a comic book is inherently one of them; had it actually contained the information that it was based on Brown's stories, it would have been a perfectly fine source for the claim it was supporting), there are better sources to be found on her. I leave it to others to evaluate if they are good enough, but here are a couple of the strongest ones Google Books finds:

Nelson's Illustrated Guide to Religions, published by Thomas Nelson (a major Christian publisher) - if the page is kept, there is useful information here.
Lure of the Sinister, published by NYU Press, which I assume is a university press. --Nat Gertler (talk) 02:50, 29 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: Neither of these sources offers significant coverage of her. LHM^{ask me a question} 03:28, 29 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
