I have not been able to independently verify any information in the article. The article was created two days after an ebook credited to the subject (and mentioned in the article) was published to Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B071HPFSPL/.

The only link in the article is under her personal website in the infobox. This link at the time of the article's creation would have shown only two works by this author, which would have failed GNG with neither being notable in their own right. Though it now shows 85 works, I cannot independently verify this information and can find no non-circular sources referencing the book "Wild Russian Mothers" which was allegedly the subject of controversy in Russia. (quote from article: "The original text was banned by censorship authorities.") Incidentally, the link also says she only has 11,020 readers.

I did find some information on other women named with the names in the article.

• Anna Vasiljevna Levashova on Geni - not this person as the link's subject was born in the 18th century and the article subject was allegedly born in 1981.
• Anna Battler on MyHeritage (b 1935 - d 2009)
• an article on Lou Costello saying his wife was named Anna Battler, though other sources say her name was Anne
• a book on building contracts in CA in 1914
• a woman who arrived in Daytona Beach in 1917
• and a social worker in London mentioned in a book published in 1994. The article's subject would have been 13, so definitely not working in London.

I have found nothing on the subject of the article that doesn't point right back here, not even by searching the titles of her published works.

While I want to assume good faith, the article's creator only ever contributed this page, with a single edit to it. They never edited anything else, and never added anything to this page after that single edit.

The article is itself orphaned and does not meet the requirements of BLP with respect to Verifiability.

This is my first time submitting anything to AfD, so I hope I've done all of this correctly. OIM20 (talk) 16:14, 23 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  Delete. There are no sources in the article. Nothing found otherwise, Gnews links to items from the 1760s onwards, so no help there. I'm assuming this is PROMO for the Amazon book as described. Oaktree b (talk) 19:26, 23 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete. No sources in the article, which arguably should have been flagged for deletion much sooner. No coverage in independent reliable secondary sources found in Wikipedia Library or ProQuest or through a basic Google search for this Anna Battler / Anna Levashova / А́нна Ба́ттлер). She appears to be featured in this commercial YouTube video for Doors to Hollywood Film Academy. Cielquiparle (talk) 10:37, 25 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete I’m not sure how this one escaped scrutiny for so long, but now it’s justifiably been flagged. As others have commented, this is an easy delete. Go4thProsper (talk) 10:52, 26 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete I can find no evidence of notability.--SouthernNights (talk) 19:50, 27 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
