Wikipedia:WikiProject Deletion sorting/Poetry

This is a collection of discussions on the deletion of articles related to Poetry. It is one of many deletion lists coordinated by WikiProject Deletion sorting. Anyone can help maintain the list on this page.

Adding a new AfD discussion

Adding an AfD to this page does not add it to the main page at WP:AFD. Similarly, removing an AfD from this page does not remove it from the main page at WP:AFD. If you want to nominate an article for deletion, go through the process on that page before adding it to this page. To add a discussion to this page, follow these steps:

Edit this page and add {{Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/PageName}} to the top of the list. Replace "PageName" with the relevant article name, i.e. the one on the existing AFD discussion. Also, indicate the title of the article in the edit summary as it is particularly helpful to add a link to the article in the edit summary. When you save the page, the discussion will automatically appear.
You should also tag the AfD by adding {{subst:delsort|Poetry|~~~~}} to it, which will inform editors that it has been listed here. You may place this tag above or below the nomination statement or at the end of the discussion thread.

Note that there are a few scripts and tools that can make this easier.

Removing a closed AfD discussion

Closed AfD discussions are automatically removed by a bot.

Other types of discussions

You can also add and remove links to other discussions (prod, CfD, TfD etc.) related to Poetry.

AfDs for this article:

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

The article lacks significant coverage in third-party reliable sources. The currently cited sources are either passing mentions or unreliable, and a search in Google News did not yield anything useful. GSS ^💬 05:47, 22 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Authors, Poetry, and India. GSS ^💬 05:47, 22 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Delete, although there are number of sources cited, but these are apparently unreliable, could not established the notability as per WP:NBIO. Pinakpani (talk) 06:15, 22 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delete, non-notable. Ahmed Reza Khan (talk) 08:09, 22 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Delete: As per my check, I looked for in-depth coverage from multiple independent secondary sources but couldn’t find any. The sources are just passing mentions or unreliable. Therefore, the article fails WP:GNG. GrabUp - Talk 12:09, 22 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Actors and filmmakers and West Bengal. Spiderone^{(Talk to Spider)} 18:24, 22 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Note: This discussion has been included in the list of Theatre-related deletion discussions. Spiderone^{(Talk to Spider)} 18:24, 22 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Subject fails WP:BIO with poor sources. Page fails WP:GNG. Subject is not well known who made any significant achievement worthy of notice to warrant a Wikipedia page on. RangersRus (talk) 12:18, 23 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Based on the previous AfD at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/The Devil's Thumbprint, I still do not think this passes WP:GNG or WP:BASIC. There is not enough SIGCOV in RSs to establish notability. Vanderwaalforces (talk) 10:19, 20 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Authors, Poetry, Bangladesh, and United Kingdom. WCQuidditch ☎ ✎ 10:47, 20 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - Agree with the nominator. - AlbeitPK (talk) 16:56, 20 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - Clearly notable. Not just as a poet/columnist, but also as a successful cultural producer/entrepreneur whose literary festival is the biggest of its kind in one of the world's largest countries (at least three times bigger than the UK by population). Anglophones may or may not be aware of it, but that is utterly irrelevant to the Bangladesh-based popularity of Dhaka LitFest. --Peripatetic (talk) 12:22, 22 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

fails general notability guideline. ltb d l (talk) 13:45, 16 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

It's a fairly well-known poem by a definitely notable author... AnonMoos (talk) 18:27, 16 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Keep per the spirit of WP:NBOOK criteria 4 and 5. Wikipedia should have an article on every poem by e. e. cummings, for heaven's sake. Potential sources found via the arduous process of clicking the "Books" link above: [1][2][3][4][5][6][7]. XOR'easter (talk) 19:55, 16 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per XOR'easter. A full entry in the Encyclopedia of American Poetry: The Twentieth Century by itself establishes notability, and contains references to further reading, including two journal articles solely devoted to the poem. Eddie891 ^Talk _Work 12:01, 17 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Peter Wuteh Vakunta[edit]

Non-notable professor. I can't find a Google Scholar for him; ResearchGate indicates he's only been cited 22 times (which seems too low to meet WP:NPROF). A search for sources only turns up profiles for him and sites hawking his books. —Jéské Couriano v^_^v ^{threads critiques} 19:39, 13 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Academics and educators, Authors, Language, Poetry, and Cameroon. Spiderone^{(Talk to Spider)} 20:14, 13 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Comment.Although he does not seem to satisfy WP:NPROF, subject may possibly satisfy WP:AUTHOR (C3). I do see a few reviews of published works; not sure if there is enough, though. Qflib (talk) 00:16, 14 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
