- Delete - she is unpaid, rather than a professional journalist. [2] Appears to be a plug for a 127-page paperback book. (Do they really bother to publish books that thin? Used copies on sale at amazon.com for $0.01) Racepacket (talk) 04:15, 18 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Yes, they do. Not every book is encyclopedia size. For example the succesful book series by Dutch crime writer nl:Appie Baantjer has paperbacks around this size. And children's paperbacks are sometimes that short too (children's books are shorter in general) - Mgm|(talk) 08:54, 19 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep. I used to live in Los Angeles, and I remember having discussions from time to time with others about her, so she at least is as notable as any of the billions of local television news anchors we have otherstuff articles about. On to actual reliable sourcing, though, there is this bio piece from the Los Angeles Times (will try to get an actual e-reprint) and a bunch of other pieces in which she is more than "just mentioned." user:j (aka justen) 18:52, 18 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete Journalists, like others, require coverage about them. Not much that I can turn up in this regard Vartanza (talk) 05:33, 21 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Coverage like the 1992 Los Angeles Times article "Cable's Victoria Looseleaf Takes a Page From Ed Sullivan's Book," you mean? user:j (aka justen) 05:52, 21 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
