 1.Does the information already exist on Wikipedia either under a different title or in another article 

I decided to do “instapoetry” or “instapoets” instead of a biographical topic on Najwa Zebian because I was having issues finding enough significant coverage on her. Also I haven’t used the library database in forever and it felt a little overwhelming. I’ll have to revisit this on the weekend when I have more time to dive in and explore. When I searched these words or just "instagram poet" / "instagram poetry" only a page for a list of poets came up and it was just one name.

'' 2. Does the topic meet Wikipedia’s notability requirements? ''

''Is there significant coverage of the topic? Can you find at least a couple of sources talk specifically about your topic?''

I have found a lot of articles that talk about either the subject of “instapoets” or “instapoetry” and the revolution social media has had in re-igniting poetry. The subject is briefly touched upon in the Wikipedia biography of Rupi Kaur, but there isn’t a page defining the subject or giving examples of the pros and cons of this outlet for poetry.

'' Can you find reliable sources, i.e. secondary sources from reputable publishers, related to your article? (Those sources don’t have to be in English, and they don’t have to be online.)  List four or five sources. ''

I am finding a lot of news articles that touch on the subject but I need a little bit of guidance in figuring out if the news paper or online publisher is reputable – some are obvious like NY     Times or Washington Post but there are smaller online publications that I need guidance on. The Odyssey, for example, is a great article but I haven’t heard of it before. Should I just Google if they are legitimate enough for Wikipedia?

'' Are the sources clearly independent of the subject, i.e. the source doesn’t have a stake in presenting a biased point of view (either positive or negative). For example, self-publicity, advertising, self-published material by the subject of your article, autobiographies, and press releases are not considered independent. ''

All of the links I have provided seem to be information on how instagram has revolutionized poetry and how it has spiked sales of poetry in recent years. They appear to be neutral, they pose concerns of the movement but also positive effects of the movement.

'' 3. Does the material you’d like to add warrant its own article. Often new material should be placed in existing articles? ''

I tried to see if there was an article that I could attach this to but couldn’t think of anything else besides instapoetry/instapoetry there is an article for instagram poets but it looks like Rupi Kaur is the only one listed. It does not look like I can add to since it doesn’t really have any info aside for a link to Rupi Kaur’s wikipedia biography.
