I'm a Weed: One Girl's Story of the Holocaust
Strictly a vanity entry. The article was most likely written by the author of the self-published book just as her wikipedia article was. My vote would be Delete Beaner1 21:41, 6 July 2006 (UTC)

 * Delete. This is a delicate situation, as the author is apparently a young woman who not only discusses her many serious psychological problems openly on the web, but has also resorted to emotional blackmail over (occasionally cruel) criticisms of its Wikipedia article in its nomination for deletion and on her deviantART website, possibly aided by a well-meaning but ill-advised attempt by an anonymous editor to bolster her spirits by defending her articles despite policy. Nevertheless, her work does not yet meet any Wikimedia notability guidelines, as she herself has recognized, as mentioned on her talk page. (In short, this book is self-published through Lulu Press ("Self-publishing for print-on-demand books", as its title page says), has an Amazon ranking below 2 million, and has no cited critical reviews or other notability factors.) Nevertheless, I wish her well with this and her other creative works, which may provide her a positive, cathartic outlet for her self-destructive feelings. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 22:48, 6 July 2006 (UTC)
