Note on notability

I see that you tried to add some sources, but you misunderstood what's needed- in order to verify that this is a notable book, there's a need for independent sources that have written about the book's importance- for example, reviews of the book, or awards that it's won. -FisherQueen (talk · contribs) 15:31, 17 July 2010 (UTC)

• Wikipedia already has an article on Thomas H. Swope, itself very brief and unreferenced. Perhaps, if indeed it was "one of the most publicized murder trials" you may be interested in expanding the biographical article? East of Borschov 18:32, 17 July 2010 (UTC)
