Contested deletion

@Bobherry: This page should not be speedy deleted as an unambiguous copyright infringement, because it categorically meets WP:NBOOK. If you wish that I further changed certain wording then I will do so. Οἶδα (talk) 22:17, 20 November 2021 (UTC)

@Οἶδα: I agree it does meet notability however tools show me that certain sentences appear to be copy-pasted. Bobherry Talk Edits 22:21, 20 November 2021 (UTC)

For now I have removed the CSD template. It looks better now. Bobherry Talk Edits 22:23, 20 November 2021 (UTC)

  • ALT1: ... that the single-volume anthology Four Hundred Souls: A Community History of African America, 1619–2019 contains eighty chapters and ten poems, each written by a different author? Source: "In order to tell the story of Black America, acclaimed scholar Kendi and award-winning historian Blain bring together 80 Black 'historians, journalists, activists, philosophers, novelists, political analysts, lawyers, anthropologists, curators, theologians, sociologists, essayists, economists, educators, and cultural critics' and 10 poets. This engrossing collection is divided into 10 parts, each covering 40 years, and each part ends with a poem that captures the essence of the preceding essays" (Kirkus Reviews, February 1, 2021). "Each section of the book covers 40 years, beginning in 1619 and ending in 2019. Every writer covers a five-year period" (Tonya Mosley and Serena McMahon, WBUR, February 18, 2021).

Expanded 5x by Hydrangeans (she/her | talk | edits). Self-nominated at 11:37, 6 November 2022 (UTC).

• Expanded 5x since November 6, so new and long enough. Appropriately cited, neutrally phrased, no copyvio (Earwig detects a number of quotes that are properly enclosed in quotation marks and cited). Hook is cited in-line and is interesting. QPQ done. Good to go. I prefer ALT0 as the awards are more eye-catching than a simple description of the text's structure and authorship.

  • Thanks! I agree with you on the ALTs. I included multiple for redundancy, but I would also encourage whomever moves this to a queue to favor ALT0.
