Ashanti White
AfDs for this article: 
 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

Not sufficiently notable. No significant google news hits, and google mentions are of a book tour. Book is very recently published, and on Amazon, but I don't think there's enough coverage yet.

 * Note Appears to be a different subject than that of the first AfD Shadowjams (talk) 00:13, 2 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Actually, I think it is the same Ashanti White. Some of the earlier revisions of this article make reference to this beauty pageant. That got deleted when it emerged this achievement wasn't nearly as notable as suggested by first glance. Is anybody any good at scrutinising the claims of notability here?

 * Ok. I'm not sure what you mean with the notability comment. Shadowjams (talk) 22:17, 2 June 2009 (UTC)
 * For example, there's the sentence "Her works have appeared in The Commonline Project (formerly The Apocalyptic), Mandala Literary Journal, Callaloo, and Black Enterprise Magazine." Does anyone know how significant any of these publications are and whether anyof them would back up claims to notability? (Repeat question for most of the other sentences. Sorry, don't have time to check through this myself at the moment.) Chris Neville-Smith (talk) 07:13, 3 June 2009 (UTC)

 * Comment Callaloo is a major journal. - Vartanza (talk) 03:23, 8 June 2009 (UTC).
 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so consensus may be reached.


 * Delete as notability has not been established. لenna  vecia  13:07, 9 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep. Black Enterprise Magazine claims 4.3 Million readers .  That plus I'll assume Vartanza is correct about Callaloo... notability met.  Livitup (talk) 14:27, 9 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment That's not necessarily a very wide circulation. More importantly, circulation of the magazine she was once published in does not establish notability. Shadowjams (talk) 21:58, 13 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete I don't think this can be rescued to be honest. TaintedZebra (talk) 02:38, 15 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep on the basis of the LJ review, though it needs to be more exactly cited. DGG (talk) 02:10, 16 June 2009 (UTC)
