Herlinatiens[edit]

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

the only reference is the indonesian wikipedia and of the external links the Inside Indonesia one is a dead link and the others (goodreads, amazon, and facebook) don't do anything to prove the idea that this is a bestselling author PTJoshua (talk) 19:41, 21 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Strong Keep - Egads, doing an AfD less than two hours after a new user post an article is not right. Best to ask questions to the editor or do a google search first. This article from the Jakarta Post shows she has two bestselling books in Indonesia. Quote from a book in her reference section (not easily found will make it more prominent.), "Her fiction is about the life of a lesbian Muslim. Written by a Muslim girl wearing jilbab, this fiction has triggered strong controversy even until today." Another quote from abs-cbn news, "...and Herlinatiens, gained popularity, writing new roles for women, particularly when it comes to sexuality." Sounds like, but don't know for sure, from the abs-cbn news article that it is now illegal to buy some of Herlinatiens' books. Will help improving the article.

I've updated the article. With a magazine, book, two newspaper and two journal references, she at least is notable via WP:GNG. The two journal references are about her and the impact of her book. Bgwhite (talk) 07:19, 22 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Jakarta Post, Inter-Asia Cultural Studies, Asian and Pacific cosmopolitans (not cited), and other sources establish notability. Roscelese (talk ⋅ contribs) 19:13, 22 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Wow. That's a pretty bad case of jumping the gun and completely bypassing WP:BEFORE. Drmies (talk) 19:42, 22 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
