I know that there is at least one stub on Wikipedia about a young contemporary poet (the one on Craig Arnold). I wanted to add this one about an acquaintance, Chris Patton. I would ideally like to post it as a stub so as to avoid the problem of it not being "notable" enough for a full article. Patton has been widely published in journals and will be publishing a book. It seems to me he is as worthy of notice as Craig Arnold, who has an uncontested stub on Wikipedia. If you could help me make it into a stub, I would appreciate it. Thanks!--Cara

Christopher D. Patton
A tag has been placed on Christopher D. Patton, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article seems to be about a person, group of people, band, club, company, or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable (see the guidelines for notability here). If you can indicate why the subject of this article is notable, you may contest the tagging. To do this, please write  on the top of the page and leave a note on the article's talk page explaining your position. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself.

Please read the criteria for speedy deletion (specifically, articles #7) and our general biography criteria. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. --Lijnema 00:09, 13 November 2006 (UTC)

Take a look here and compare the two poets. If you think they both deserve notability, then create your page, and if someone tries to speedy it, use and tell them it's notable per. If you realise that neither of them are notable, place on the page of the poet who already has a stub, to propose its deletion. Hope this helps, place back if you need anything else :) &mdash; D e on555talk  02:31, 13 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Actually, comparing two poets is a bad idea. They maybe look similar but have completely different coverage in media sources.  The best way to prevent deletion is to use sources to verify them.  ColourBurst 14:56, 18 November 2006 (UTC)

Unreferenced BLPs
Hello Cdiacono! Thank you for your contributions. I am a bot alerting you that 1 of the articles that you created  is tagged as an Unreferenced Biography of a Living Person. The biographies of living persons policy requires that all personal or potentially controversial information be sourced. In addition, to insure verifiability, all biographies should be based on reliable sources. if you were to bring this article up to standards, it would greatly help us with the current Category:All_unreferenced_BLPs article backlog. Once the article is adequately referenced, please remove the unreferencedBLP tag. Here is the article:
