Those are not the same "bad sources" that were previously removed. The source mentioned on the talk page as being bad was a page on the Brooklyn Museum website that only briefly mentioned the subject (
This page). The only other source was
The Wilson Quarterly, which is reputable journal, though it only covered African chairs in a couple of paragraphs. I added three published book sources that were no there before. Two of those sources cover African stools and chairs significantly, and the other is a more general history of the chair.

At least the first of those sources does not actually support that chairs were absent. The portugese introduced European-style chairs and "elbow chairs". That's different from introduced chairs.

I looked at that article now as well. I think it is good enough to submit for review and continued work can be done in the main space.

Justice Waits
I was doing my usual book cover addition work today and I looked at the
Justice Waits page. It is my opinion that the page now sufficiently meets
WP:GNG to not be deleted after the changes that I made to it.

That article was written by the author of the book, so it isn't independent of the subject.
WP:BKCRIT excludes promotional articles by the author for the purpose of establishing notability.

I really have no interest in the book one way or the other, I just wanted to say that it appeared to have met the criteria after another passing review. If after an exhaustive search you feel that it still does not meet
WP:BOOKCRIT then leave your nom as originally posted.
