 * Symbol question.svg Interesting detailed bio, on good sources. Too bad the image is not free! I confess that I would be more interested in "Negro Folklore" than "Quill Club". Do readers know it's a Boston literary group? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 20:13, 1 February 2016 (UTC)
 * Probably not. I've proposed some ALTs above. (For ALT3, I can email you the Boston Globe story in PDF form.) Rosekelleher (talk) 21:02, 1 February 2016 (UTC)
 * Symbol voting keep.svg Thank you! I like ALT2 and ALT3, subscription ref accepted AGF. Nothing wrong with ALT1 but it's a bit just the other big name (and again, some readers will not recognize that name), not her achievements. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 21:16, 1 February 2016 (UTC)
