- Keep A religious leader? I thought she is a writer... Her controversial books were reviewed by the major US media: [http://www.nytimes.com/1990/10/02/books/black-woman-s-book-starts-a-predictable-storm.html?pagewanted=all The New York Times], [http://pqasb.pqarchiver.com/USAToday/access/56032707.html?dids=56032707:56032707&FMT=ABS&FMTS=ABS:FT&type=current&date=Nov+13%2C+1990&author=Deirdre+Donahue&pub=USA+TODAY+(pre-1997+Fulltext)&desc=%60Blackman's+Guide'+strikes+a+nerve&pqatl=google USA TODAY], [http://pqasb.pqarchiver.com/washingtonpost/access/72623319.html?dids=72623319:72623319&FMT=ABS&FMTS=ABS:FT&type=current&date=Oct+11%2C+1990&author=DOROTHY+GILLIAM&pub=The+Washington+Post+(pre-1997+Fulltext)&desc=Sick%2C+Distorted+Thinking&pqatl=google Washington Post], [http://pqasb.pqarchiver.com/chicagotribune/access/28880666.html?dids=28880666:28880666&FMT=ABS&FMTS=ABS:FT&type=current&date=Sep+09%2C+1990&author=Knight-Ridder+Newspapers&pub=Chicago+Tribune+(pre-1997+Fulltext)&desc=%60Blackman's+Guide'+stirs+controversy&pqatl=google Chicago Tribune] etc. A notable author, in my opinion. --Vejvančický (talk) 09:01, 4 March 2010 (UTC)

- Relisting comment. The article is a BLP so a second relist is reasonable. --Ron Ritzman (talk) 03:11, 17 March 2010 (UTC)
Delete No sources in the article to indicate notability of this BLP. I have wiped all negative unsourced commentary of the subject from the article. --Mkativerata (talk) 06:08, 17 March 2010 (UTC)Keep Article is now sourced, and the actual and potential sourcing amount to significant coverage in reliable sources. --Mkativerata (talk) 08:53, 17 March 2010 (UTC)- Keep - In addition to the the sources shown above by Vejvančický, Gnews shows a lot of coverage in mainstream media. So easily passes the "significant coverage in intellectually independent reliable sources" criteria. Most of the coverage is behind paywalls, but it does exist. I have added the non paywall/subscription references to the article. She even gets 59 hits in Gscholar and 150 hits in Gbooks (other than those authored by her).--Sodabottle (talk) 08:52, 17 March 2010 (UTC)
- Comment: Uff, thank you Sodabottle - I tried to do the same thing, and after an edit conflict I found out that you used exactly the same sources there! Btw, sometimes I feel like a totally confused character in the Catch-22; the logical attitudes here on Wikipedia are sometimes very unusual. Thank you again, Sodabottle. --Vejvančický (talk) 09:34, 17 March 2010 (UTC)
