Completing nomination (per WP:AGF) on behalf of Usernamexxx, whose rationale was posted on the article's talk page and is included verbatim below. On the merits, I make no recommendation - but note that she is frequently credited as a "Bestselling author", which might indicate some notability. UltraExactZZ Said ~ Did 15:23, 3 June 2013 (UTC)

This page seems to be a promotional page for a possible violation due to the 'advertisement' quality of it. There does not seem to be a credible reason for the page to exist as there are 'notable' qualities that seem to be missing when comparing it to the other quality biographical Wiki articles on other authors, and or 'teachers'. Based upon Wikipedia standards this page is nominated for automatic deletion due to the lack of credible notability and it's appearance as an advertisement for Mrs. Bernstein. This concern is verified by the 'external' link to a book or a promotional video that has been posted on the top right of the page. The page needs to be edited to meet the quality criteria of other biographical Wikipedia articles in such a way that it does not seem just like an ad in a newspaper - the way that it appears right now.

  • Keep This line from a review of one of her books struck me the most: "Bernstein's talent for marketing herself through media coverage, speaking engagements, and her mentoring Web site is apparent in this volume." However, the New York Times piece linked in the article, along with reviews of her books, such as from Publisher's Weekly [http://www.publishersweekly.com/978-0-307-88740-5] and Kirkus Reviews [https://www.kirkusreviews.com/book-reviews/gabrielle-bernstein/spirit-junkie/] adds up to notability. 24.151.116.25 (talk) 16:04, 3 June 2013 (UTC)
