The creator of the page is in no way related to Katan/ has no personal bias to advertise on her behalf. More citations were added and currently, only two of the citations are from a primary source. Kh584372 (talk) 17:57, 1 March 2016 (UTC)Reply
Nobody said anything about the creator having a conflict of interest — that has no bearing on the fact that the writing tone is promotional rather than encyclopedic, which is what was flagged. And as of right now, all but one of the sources are still primary sources: that term does not refer only to her own website, but also to PR profiles on the websites of directly affiliated organizations. She's directly affiliated with General Assembly, for instance, which makes the two citations to General Assembly primary sources. An event announcement of her speaking, on the website of the venue where she spoke, is a primary source — which also kills references #1 and #7. GoodReads is also a primary source, because that's a PR platform on which all writers who exist get to have pages regardless of whether they satisfy our notability criteria for writers or not. Which means the only non-primary source left here is Mashable — and Mashable isn't a reliable source, or one that can confer notability in and of itself as an article's only non-primary source.

A google search with the "Books" option instead of the default will help to find more sources. Mary Mark Ockerbloom (talk) 19:55, 3 March 2016 (UTC)Reply
What is notable about this person besides the superhero bathroom icon? Yes, there are problems with promotional/primary sources which could possibly be fixed, but why? Is Wikipedia now the home for the biographies of any dank memesmith? 64.121.126.15 (talk) 19:00, 20 June 2016 (UTC)Reply
