Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Tawana Brawley
Just as "OTHERCRAPEXISTS" is not a good basis for keeping a non-notable subject's article, "THERE WEREOTHERIMPROPERDELETIONS" does not justify yet another deletion of an article about a highly encyclopedic and notable subject which is fully in accord with all Wikipedia policies, including ,  and . The article could be renamed Tawana Brawley rape case. The New York Times alone shows 387 articles about the woman and the case http://topics.nytimes.com/top/reference/timestopics/people/b/tawana_brawley/?offset=15& 1987-1998. There are at least 2 books about her and the case: "Outrage" http://www.amazon.com/Outrage-Story-Behind-Tawana-Brawley/dp/0553057561 and "Unholy Alliances" http://www.amazon.com/Unholy-Alliances-Working-Tawana-Brawley/dp/0151880506/ref=sr_1_10/104-0380120-5445551?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1182437070&sr=1-10 . A redirect to Al Sharpton would be wrong, because attorneys Alton Maddox Jr. and  C. Vernon Mason were just as prominently involved in the false accusations against white officials, per Time magazine, 1988 http://www.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,967734,00.html. The Brawley case remains important in the  history of race relations in the US, and was frequently brought up in coverage of the false rape accusations against the Duke lacrosse players, and in other similar accusations of rape
