[edit] Patricia Hill Collins

Nominated for speedy, but not a candidate. Former head of a university department. No vote from me at this time. Pburka 15:34, August 27, 2005 (UTC)

• Delete; pure vanity page -Howardjp 15:55, 27 August 2005 (UTC)

Keep; I amend my vote as the article's quality has improved and shown the value of the subject. -Howardjp 00:10, 31 August 2005 (UTC)

• Keep. I've done a bit more research, and I now believe that she is more notable than the average professor. 824 (unique) google hits, many publications (available from amazon), two awards. Black Feminist Thought has an amazon rank of 18,112, which is very, very high for an academic work. Pburka 16:14, August 27, 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. Pburka, you can ask that the nomination be withdrawn since you were the instigator. Sdedeo 20:38, 27 August 2005 (UTC)
  • I don't really consider myself the instigator. Another editor nominated the article for speedy -- I simply moved it from WP:CSD to WP:PFD. Pburka 23:30, August 27, 2005 (UTC)
• Keep, reluctantly, because she published. If her books are drivel, we'll never know. Paul Klenk 22:40, 27 August 2005 (UTC)
• Keep per Pburka. -- DS1953 00:31, August 28, 2005 (UTC)
• Keep Published books + awards = notability. Denni☯ 01:28, 2005 August 28 (UTC)
• STRONG keep. Extremely EXTREMELY well-known in sociological circles, often mentioned in the same breath as Cornel West and bell hooks. Black Feminist Thought is required reading in many race and gender classes. I cannot emphasize ENOUGH how strongly this should be kept. I am seriously surprised to see this even up on VfD. -HX 04:02, 28 August 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. I have expanded this article further. Highly notable African American feminist academic and author of several highly regarded books within her field. Capitalistroadster 06:20, 28 August 2005 (UTC)
• Speedy keep as per Capitalistroadster. Hall Monitor 23:35, 30 August 2005 (UTC)
