Catherine Buckle

 * – ( View AfD View log )

BLP without much sourcing. After some search on Google and Wikipedia Library, I found only a couple mentions of the person, all passing. Most other results are about some of her older books, with the newer ones being self-published. Doesn't seem to satisfy the notability criteria. Isabelle 🔔 23:21, 21 October 2020 (UTC)

 * Keep I've been finding things written about her work, but I'm running into a barrier when it comes to paywalls for older stuff. However what I've found so far suggests that there is more coverage out there and that she's one of the "go to" people for her topic area, particularly when they want to discuss white authors covering Zimbabwe and the issues concerning its people.

 * To be honest, if I didn't have access to a college database I probably wouldn't have found what I have so far. ReaderofthePack (formerly Tokyogirl79)  (｡◕‿◕｡)  04:31, 22 October 2020 (UTC)


 * Keep. There are substantial sources out there. For one that is publicly available, here is a detailed academic analysis: Also interesting that African Tears was reviewed by The Times Literary Supplement, though I unfortunately don't have access to the text. There's also quite a bit of newspaper coverage of Buckle. Overall, I think there is a strong case for notability. Haukur (talk) 09:39, 22 October 2020 (UTC)
 * Keep. This is a racist nomination. The nominator clearly has some vendetta against Africans. She expects all the references to be on the internet and because she can't find enough in her Google search she wants to delete this page. Does she not take into account any reporting that takes place here in Zimbabwe? Has the nominator read our newspapers here in Zimbabwe? I bet she has not. Do not judge us by Western imperialist standards. She could offer to improve the article if she does not like it - but she does not. She just wants to destroy and delete like all Western imperialists before her. Why does this racist so-called Isabella think Ms Buckle has to publish her own books? Does she know of the censorship and oppression in Zimbabwe? What Zimbabwean publisher would be allowed to print these books? This person must go and hang her head in shame and reflect on why she hates Africans so much.  Mangwanani  (talk) 17:53, 28 October 2020 (UTC)
