I'm not finding the references, reviews, or coverage that convince me this title is notable. Mikeblas (talk) 04:20, 23 July 2015 (UTC)[]

Perhaps the book touches on the public view of inter-racial dating in England at the time? But I can't seem to find any information that would prove it, It appears as if I would have to read the book to find out. So yes, this leads me to believe its not very notable. ~Euphoria42 05:26, 23 July 2015 (UTC)[]

Comment The author Ogbe might be notable - she's been featured in British and German broadcast media [1][2][3] and Google gave a link to the Nigerian Observer which didn't work. I found evidence that this book has been discussed at an academic conference[4]. But there's not much online about it. Colapeninsula (talk) 15:44, 23 July 2015 (UTC)[]

Comment, believe the review of Ruptures and Linkages: Biography and History in the South. London: German Historical Institute London [5] mentioned above by Colapeninsula lends notability, here is what it says - "FOLASADE HUNSU’s (Ile-Ife, Nigeria) analysis of Hilda Ogbe’s autobiography, The Crumbs off the Wife’s Table (2001), was another case in point, showing that the knowledge that gives coherence to an individual’s life can be developed only in retrospect. Hilda Ogbe wrote her autobiography when she was in her 80s, after the breakdown of her marriage and the death of her husband. She noted that she could not have written it when she was younger, or, at least, this would have resulted in a very different understanding." Have also found this [6] "You must all be Interned": Identity Among Internees in Great Britain during World War II from The Gettysburg Historical Journal Vol 4, Article 5, pp 59-92 by Elizabet A. Atkins of Gettysburg College - discussion of German refugees in British internment camps during WWII, The Crumbs Off The Wife's Table is cited throughout this article. so it is close to WP:NBOOKS but may be appropriate for an article on the author to be created with a redirect?Coolabahapple (talk) 15:52, 2 August 2015 (UTC)[]

delete This may be a very good book but I see no evidence of significant notability. It's down in the bilges of Amazon sales, there is next to nothing in GScholar, not much in GBooks.... Seyasirt (talk) 16:34, 6 August 2015 (UTC)[]
