- Disagree Judy Carter book the Comedy Bible has been mentioned in the Washigton post and the Huffington Post both are notable secondary sources that are not at all related to comedy or public speaking. 204.102.74.5 (talk) 22:00, 10 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- The Washington Post blurb is so short the article literally repeats the entire thing in a single sentence. The Huffington Post blurb, also very brief, is a blog by part-time stand-up comic who has not been established as an expert. This is not substantial coverage, just passing mentions.

- Delete: Nope, no there there. Just two passing mentions. To pass the GNG, the subject has to be discussed in "significant detail," and a single sentence's worth of mention doesn't cut it. Nha Trang 20:10, 17 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
