The result was Keep per WP:SNOW/WP:IAR. Article was improved greatly since nomination, and nominator has been indef blocked for incivility, so this was possibly a bad faith nom in the first place. Non-admin closure. Ten Pound Hammer and his otters • (Broken clamshells•Otter chirps) 17:47, 12 April 2008 (UTC)

 * Keep. (Thanks for bringing this to AFD as in its nominated state it is borderline A7.) Her linked biography does show claims to notability. Google News Archive shows numerous [reviews] of her works in the New York Times, Village Voice, and other publications, dating back to the 1980s. She appears in numerous Google Books including biographies of Alice Walker and others. --Dhartung | Talk 09:40, 12 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep. I agree with Dhartung on this one, there is plenty indication that she can be considered notable. --Apis 11:13, 12 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Note that the nominator of this AfD has been indef-banned for racism. Black Kite 11:52, 12 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep. The article has a way to go but its subject is certainly notable and sufficient evidence seems to have been provided for its current stub format. Black Kite's note also raises the possibility that this was a bad-faith nomination in the first place. ~ mazca talk 16:48, 12 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep as above, WP:SNOW please. I would do it myself but I've been pulled into wider discussions linked with this. Gwen Gale (talk) 17:10, 12 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Speedy keep per above. Jfire (talk) 17:23, 12 April 2008 (UTC)
