Needs to be Redirected[edit]

This page should redirect to Mildred Wirt Benson (Mildred_Benson) and is not factual. References: [1] [2] Not to mention Lilley wasn't alive when the first Carolyn Keene Nancy Drew Book, The Secret of the Old Clock was written in 1930

They like Carolyn Keene[edit]

I like the stories they are exciting and get your heart going! they are definatly mysterios though! (An unsigned comment by 4.255.241.237, 216.244.58.228

I started reading her books a month ago and they are so interesting, and creative!Carolyn just has a great imagination! (An unsigned comment by 216.244.58.228.)

I'm glad that you liked them, you two. I will tell Carolyn Keene of your appreciation, when she's building me a shelf next Tuesday --It's-is-not-a-genitive 20:12, 15 February 2007 (UTC).[reply]

Who created wikapedia? I think it is really stupid that anyone can just edit this!!!!! how do you know you are getting real info?????? Carolyn Keene is the best author ever! I love all of her Nancy Drew books, though I haven't yet read them all, and she should write more!!! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 208.110.229.158 (talk) 22:16, 4 September 2007 (UTC) This page is a copypaste... —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.220.247.136 (talk) 05:57, 25 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

is her alive[edit]

i love the book nancy drew but she made the frist book in 1930 and she has made about 64 books how old is she and is she still alive. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.63.202.116 (talk) 17:22, 13 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed for deletion[edit]

Clearly, it would be misleading to identify Kathryn Ellen Lilley with Carolyn Keene. None of the sources confirm Lilley as a ghostwriter of Nancy Drew books at all, and certainly not the most well-known ones.

In fact, I can find no sources to confirm that Kathryn Ellen Lilley is a real person, or to establish her notability at even a minimal level. --Leifern (talk) 04:49, 4 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Lawsuit[edit]

"The editors at Grosset and Dunlap were so heavily involved in writing the Drew books that they won the lawsuit." It would be nice if this lawsuit was mentioned in the article. Preferably before this sentence mentions who won it. --Khajidha (talk) 00:09, 30 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Whoever wrote it previously did not seem to have fully understood the actual outcome of the lawsuit. I did a bit of searching in the article and citation and it turns out that Grosset and Dunlap did not actually win the lawsuit. I've updated the article with the full story. 50.46.153.186 (talk) 20:19, 30 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Assessment comment[edit]

The comment(s) below were originally left at Talk:Carolyn Keene/Comments, and are posted here for posterity. Following several discussions in past years, these subpages are now deprecated. The comments may be irrelevant or outdated; if so, please feel free to remove this section.

I am curious why, after what appears to be one corrected paragraph, the majority of the original article is left on the page a second time, doubling the length of the page with repetition. If someone is interested, I'd love to see links added for any articles or webpages for the various authors. Katelacy2002 (talk) 16:34, 15 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
