Suzy Kassem
Subject does not appear to be notable. Article has been deleted twice via AfD on en.wiki, and the title has since been salted. There is an article on ar.wiki, but it's just an unsourced stub. Likely an attempt at self-promotion. Her publisher seems pretty unremarkable. The quotes here are pretty...cringy. G M G talk  13:50, 1 August 2018 (UTC)

This sounds like opinionated harassment to discredit the author and vandalize the page. Let the public mediate. There is a vast plethora of citations in international books, media, BBC and more for anyone to discover. Notability here I guess is based on personal likability and agenda, not facts. Vote to keep.

 * An initial sweep suggests that quotes claimed by this author are not, in fact, original to this author. For example:
 * "stand up for what is right even if you stand alone" appears fourteen years earlier in Bruce H. Wilkinson, ‎John W. Hoover, ‎Paula A. Kirk, The Daily Walk Bible NIV (1997), p. 610.
 * "When one arm or foot is poisoned, the whole body becomes infected" seems to paraphrase William Herbert Perry Faunce, The Social Aspects of Foreign Missions (1914), p. 5: "when a human finger is poisoned the whole body is poisoned through that finger".
 * "An original is always worth more than a copy" appears verbatim in Dan Spainhour, Coach Yourself: A Motivational Guide for Coaches and Leaders (2007), p. 22.
 * It therefore appears the at least some of the most "quotable" selections from this author are actually little more than plagiarism. <font style="background:#F2E6CE">BD2412 T 12:56, 2 August 2018 (UTC)
