 * I think I have shown from the links that the subject is notable. I also think that it is clear that her subject, inter-racial dating in the USA, is 'hot' ie. important and that she is the best known advocate for it makes her doubly noteworthy. This is not advertising as I have no connection with her, I don't even live on the same continent, being a Brit while she is American.  Smokey TheCat  05:59, 20 April 2015 (UTC)


 * Strong Keep  With all of the following sources,  , , , , and , , ,  and  it is quite clear that this article subject has had significant coverage in WP:RS including newspapers, magazines and other media outlets, so the article passes WP:GNG, and the article subject has far surpassed the threshold of notability.WP:N     Cheers!

 * Keep. I think that the promotion was unintentional and I've cleaned up the article to meet Wikipedia's standards for notability. It did take a little digging to find sources, primarily because Karazin is known more in the blogging world so the blog sources are the ones that came up first. (Blogs are usually seen as WP:SPS that cannot be used to source notability on Wikipedia because they're self-published.) However I did find enough coverage of her book and her work as a whole to where she now passes notability guidelines in general. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡)  07:08, 20 April 2015 (UTC)
