I can't find any evidence for notability. Her books appear to be self-published as well as fringe. Doug Weller talk 10:28, 24 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete -- completely fail any test of notability. Anybody can self-publish, it doesn't mean anything. --Orange Mike | Talk 12:45, 24 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete Might be barely notable within the fringe community, but I am not seeing anything outside it (and not really anything inside it), in a quick search anyway.Slatersteven (talk) 12:47, 24 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete fails WP:GNG and WP:NAUTHOR, I could find no reviews of her books (a search on my university's site got 11 hits, none about her), her books are held in 3, 1, 1, 1, and 1 libraries as per WorldCat (showing they aren't widely known by any measure]. Google search results are almost exclusively for her books and she's mentioned in this book, but a few quotations in one book don't establish notability.

• Delete. This is a WP:SOAP may be a WP:COPYVIO of the About section of her various personal websites: e.g. [1]. jps (talk) 13:58, 24 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

• Question I redirected the actual article at Portal:Traditional African religions/Selected article/30 to Dogon people because the editor who created this and other articles relied so heavily on Dorey, including The Master of Speech: Dogon Mythology Reveals Genetic Engineering of Humans and also other dubious sources. I may try to fix it some day but in any case the place to start is probably Dogon people, which still has pov problems which I hope to fix first. Is there anything that can be done about the portal copy? Doug Weller talk 09:17, 25 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete. Not seeing any substantive coverage in reliable independent sources. Guy (help!) 12:05, 26 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
