List of Canadian poets
Re this edit, would you please direct me to where this "accepted Wikipedia practice" is set out? Thanks.--ukexpat (talk) 01:26, 2 January 2013 (UTC)


 * I have started a draft article on Zend in my user space: User:Ukexpat/Robert Zend. Please feel free to add to it, then it can be moved to the main space. Thanks.--ukexpat (talk) 01:36, 2 January 2013 (UTC)

Hi, ukexpat. Thank you for your question - and for taking the initiative to start a page for Robert Zend, who is a most deserving candidate for one. Here is the relevant Wikipedia article about lists, "Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Stand-alone lists":

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:LSC#Selection_criteria

It would be nice, of course, if every member of such a list as Canadian poets had their own Wikipedia page - and certainly Robert Zend deserves one. But until that happens, inclusion on the list with a link to a reputable source demonstrating the person's notability would seem to me preferable to exclusion. After all, inclusion on the list could help to bring attention to the need for a Wikipedia page for that person.

The acceptability of a particular external link might be a matter of judgment, of course, but I would submit that The Canadian Encyclopedia is a reputable source.

If I have some down time in the near future, I would be more than happy to contribute to a page for Robert Zend.

 * Problem solved. I have moved the stub article to mainspace at Robert Zend and edited the list article accordingly.--ukexpat (talk) 14:48, 2 January 2013 (UTC)
