I would challenge the person who nominated this page for speedy deletion to explain in what way it is written as an advertisement.
Also - if articles on books themselves are not eligible for speedy deletion, how the heck is an article about the author of four books eligible?
I think the nominator simply did not look at this material carefully. Check out the source of the images in this article; they aren't self-made, they're from a Department of Defense web site. If the United States Air Force considers this woman notable enough to be an authority on Black History Month that ought to be notable enough for Wikipedia, even if the fact she has written four novels isn't enough. -- ❨Ṩtruthious ℬandersnatch❩ 18:16, 3 April 2008 (UTC)
…so as I've said in a few places, per WP:BIO the books already listed in the article fulfill notability. If you'll just follow the ISBN number links you'll see that her novels are in hundreds of libraries. Chocolate Sangria is the one I looked at (WorldCat is the easiest for this, if you haven't looked up books by ISBN on Wiki before).-- ❨Ṩtruthious ℬandersnatch❩ 19:21, 3 April 2008 (UTC)
Well at least everyone agrees that I'm not a female African-American ex-military novelist. My pudgy white computer nerd self has some standards to live down to. -- ❨Ṩtruthious ℬandersnatch❩ 22:31, 3 April 2008 (UTC)
