This is hard to AfD because this is a well-written article, kudos to the author, but Mr. Jones does not appear to meet notability guidelines. Not as an author (they may have been good but don't appear to have been especially notable), his association with the SCLC/MLK doesn't matter per WP:INVALIDBIO.

Delete As per nominator, notability is not inherited. Robert McClenon (talk) 04:31, 23 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Delete as stated, notability is not inherited. --Zackmann08 (^{Talk to me}/_{What I been doing}) 04:58, 23 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
SNOW Delete as there's nothing at all here for the applicable notability despite its size. SwisterTwister talk 06:30, 23 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Comment Please see the basically identical Draft:Major J. Jones, consider whether it should also be deleted. Roger (Dodger67) (talk) 07:54, 23 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Comment It looks like the article creator had it in AfC but it was rejected, then they created the article directly on Wikipedia instead of working with AfC on sources. --Mr. Vernon (talk) 07:59, 23 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Yes that is indeed what happened. If this article is deleted the draft should also be deleted, if the article is kept the draft should be redirected to the article. Roger (Dodger67) (talk) 15:26, 23 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Keep, per the entry in this print encyclopedia from a major publisher. And, according to its index, Jones has coverage on six different pages of ISBN 9781608330355. 86.17.222.157 (talk) 12:13, 23 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
