 * You claimed on Talk:Baron james ashanti (before it was deleted) that all of the quotes are valid, coming from Mr. Ashanti's books themselves, or in one case, as a personal utterance. Let me respond here, since that page was deleted:
 * "Personal utterances" are not valid Wikipedia sources. Nor are the book jacket blurbs of one's published books, especially when self-published books, as appears to be the case for at least some of Ashanti's work.  Find some actual sources, maybe.
