This article should be deleted

I am not convinced that this individual is important enough to have a Misplaced Pages article. Unless notability is established, this article needs to be deleted. Tkurt (talk) 04:24, 22 March 2008 (UTC)

It was helpful to me. I just saw her on TV and came here to learn more.

Also, "Associate Professor of Politics and African American studies at Princeton University." is a sentence fragment. It should be corrected.

"Verified by a WP reader"???? What needs to be verified about the title of the book. Citations do not require links unless there is dispute about the information, in this case the title of the book and authorship. If links were required for citations to books, that means that an editor can't go to a library, find a copy of the book, and cite it. Absurd. Look around Misplaced Pages. It's loaded with citations to books -- legitimate citations -- that have no links. All that's needed in a citation is the title and other publication information, not a link to a website that promotes sales by its partners. If you want to "verify" that the title of the book is correct and that Harris-Lacewell wrote it, use this this webpage, which does not offer to sell the book. Please desist your irrational demand for a link when a link is not necessary and is, in fact, spam. 71.77.20.26 (talk) 18:33, 16 January 2010 (UTC)
