I hear you. You certainly don't have to close it, it was just a suggestion in the interest of efficiency; there are so many AFDs, it seems a pity to have further editors spending precious time on this discussion. Certainly, neither David Eppstein is no more required to source the article than I am. Given her stature, and
WP:PROF#C5, this AFD will ultimately be closed as Keep. I do wonder, however, whether greeting a new editor who puts up a bare-bones page with an AFD notice is the best way to bring new editors on board.

Snow Keep. I added a source from the "Encyclopedia of African-American Literature". David's analysis is correct, of course, and this article will necessarily be kept because it conspicuously satisfies
WP:PROF. Would be a nice gesture for nom to withdraw it to save the time of other overworked editors. Thanks,

Keep. I wasn't sure if Wayne State met the excellence and selectivity criterion for C5, but she definitely meets
WP:GNG, having been the subject of entries in reference books on poetry/African American literature. Her work has also been reviewed in independent publications and we've added at least one of those to the article.
