397:- I would be more than happy to withdraw my request for the deletion of this article if there were actually a bit more biographical information on the person in the article. The article has changed considerably since I first nominated it for deletion and is getting closer to being an actual biography rather than an article whose original intent was to promote a singular, published book. We really don't know much about this person and it is a biography after all. Referenced information concerning the following would make the article be more a bit biographical, I'm not suggesting that the author provide all of this information, but a little more information on the person rather than just what she has published and thinks gives us more information on the person: place of birth, age, family status, college education, college activities, high school attended, lectures and talks given, public appearances, other significant career accomplishments, philanthropic activities, religion, ethnicity, advanced degrees… These are all examples of what is considered biographical information and if just a few of these were provided and referenced adequately I will remove my nomination for the deletion of this article. On a personal level, I actually believe in expanding the encyclopedia and not excluding information that someone might be looking for. I am quite pleased when an article is not deleted-so you can say that I am 'cheering' you on, editor-author, to provide a little more biographical information. I really like the photograph! Best regards,
353:- Not notable. I note that even in the Forbes piece there is a disclaimer asserting that the piece is by Kim Westerman,and is not necessarily endorsed by Forbes. All of the rest of Kim Westerman's pieces are promo pieces which look as though they are re-regurgitated press releases. Not much reliability or robustness there IMHO.

Comment: The article is a biography of
Benebell Wen. All the information about her book and the awards that it has gotten provides us no information about the person All the references are reviews of the book, and gives us no information on the notability of the person.

As per Ktmyss221 especially the Random House and Forbes sources. Most of the articles from contributors on Forbes have that general disclaimer. It is just a legal disclaimer. A contributor wrote an article and Forbes published it. Forbes is a
