I am taking this to AfD as a formality. This page was previously deleted through the debate at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Ashanti White (2nd nomination). Might be a G4 speedy deletion candidate as an article recreated after a deletion debate, but I did a prod instead to give the author a chance to respond. Prod deleted with comment "White is an aclaimed artist that has significant literary contributions and has contributed greatly to the field of African American studies. Moreover, she has worked extensively with notable artists." which doesn't really address the reasons for deletion from last time round. I was neutral about deletion last time round, and I have no opinion this time round other than seeing if the consensus for this article is still deletion. (Note: the reviews cited in the article seems to be articles written about Ashanti White rather than reviews about her.) Chris Neville-Smith (talk) 16:15, 14 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

- Based upon a Google search, the article warrants inclusion. Articles about and on White are extensive. If Bruce Bonds, whom the subject has released in the same publications, can be included White deserves also. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.73.190.116 (talk) 02:36, 16 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

- Original poster; I have posted links to relevant articles and reviews, including a 2009 Library Journal Review —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ijmorring (talk • contribs) 06:43, 16 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- The provided links have the following problems: passing mention, no extensive coverage ([1], [2], [3]); it's a review made by Ashanti White about someones book ([4], [5]); it's not reliable ([6], [7], [8]), her two works in a literatur anthology or it is not a secondary source (own homepage, publishers homepage). Armbrust Talk Contribs 01:30, 17 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- The links provided include the author's homepage (www.ashantiwhite.com), the publisher's page (www.urbanedge.com), writings (which a previous poster noted was necessary), publication sites that include author bios, and a magazine feature on White (Huami Magazine). Each of the links are reliable and attest to the notability of the subject. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ijmorring (talk • contribs) 06:35, 17 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- The sources don't just have to be reliable, they also have to be independent. The author's own website and publisher's website may or may not be reliable, but they are certainly not independent. Chris Neville-Smith (talk) 09:48, 17 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- I would be happier with some third party RS that covers the subject in a little bit more then trivial mentions. If they are notable they would have been noticed.Slatersteven (talk) 11:23, 17 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- The publisher site and the author site were added due to prior comments (it seems to be a requirement of dissenters). The magazine articles and actual articles by the subject are INDEPENDENT of each other. Publication with John Hopkins Press and the Institute of African American Studies is notable. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.73.190.237 (talk) 02:13, 18 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
