Doesn't look anywhere near notable enough as an author, but I cannot tell if there's enough notability is a subgenre to allow it here. The only interview I can find is [http://www.urban-reviews.com/insideout-koleblack.html here] which links to Lulu, a self-publisher (although the books are available on Amazon). And yes, the MySpace page claims he's 100 from Tokyo, Japan but that's the page linked from the interview so I don't think it's a hoax. Ricky81682 (talk) 08:36, 17 March 2009 (UTC)

Comment I've redirected The Chance She Took and The Risk of Chance to Black's page, in the odd chance they somehow are found to have notability on their own. -- Ricky81682 (talk) 08:38, 17 March 2009 (UTC)

Comment popular, I see. Note that some new editors have been removing a large amount of, albeit unsourced, material from the page. -- Ricky81682 (talk) 20:07, 21 March 2009 (UTC)

Delete. Spaulden Publishing appears to be Kole Black's own publishing label, as no other books seem to be published under this label. Self-published books are not notable unless they are widely distributed or otherwise grab the attention of third-party sources. Chris Neville-Smith (talk) 18:13, 23 March 2009 (UTC)
