Convicted for a non-notable (per NCRIME) crime. After release she authored several books, all (or mostly) published via Voices International Publications which seems to be publishing mostly her material ( and related work - e.g. The High Price I Had to Pay seems to be a series by a number of authors). Sources in article are NJ for the conviction in 2008, Daily Kos, a wordpress blog, and 2 items by a Forbes contributor. BEFORE doesn't show much more - she is mentioned in this book - [1] which does not seem connected to her publishing (though is on a similar vein). Icewhiz (talk) 11:51, 16 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Delete fails WP:GNG. My searches of news archives turns up a couple of routine, local news stories about her conviction for real estate fraud a decade ago (both stories, possibly from the same wire service court reporter, found under "Jamila Davis".) Certainly not a notable crime or notable criminal. Her work as a writer (Jamila T. Davis) fails WP:AUTHOR for lack of WP:SIGCOV. Appears to be mere PROMO for a non-notable author.E.M.Gregory (talk) 18:55, 16 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. References do not rise to the level of "significant coverage in reliable secondary sources that are independent of the subject" (WP:BIO). Deli nk (talk) 15:50, 17 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Delete I sincerely regret spending my time trying to clean up this article. The story the subject is trying to spin is incongruous with their bottom feeding on the volunteer work here. Rentier (talk) 16:26, 17 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
