delete Self published sources, not notable, poorly written, looks like an advertizement for her self published writing--Nefariousski (talk) 23:31, 11 March 2009 (UTC)

delete Self published sources, marked for improvement since April 2008, reads like an advertisement, few external sources, not notable, poorly written. Kristof15 (talk) 23:33, 11 March 2009 (UTC) (edit -- note that I've attempted to clean the article up a bit.  If this is to be kept, someone needs to slog through the awards section and sort out the notable awards from the non-notable.  Whoever listed them threw in the kitchen sink, even including an award from a community college. Kristof15 (talk) 21:30, 13 March 2009 (UTC)

Keep The article is indeed poorly written and looks like an ad, but she does hold an endowed chair and appears to have garnered reviews from major literary venues (eg. Fourth Genre) for work that was not self-published. But my "expertise" is fiction....maybe somebody with a stronger knowledge of poetry publishing can comment on the credits?

 * Keep as per above. Dwain (talk) 20:16, 12 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep  but needs  a   rewrite.  If there are reliable external sources, a few of them is enough. As for named chair, although University of Nebraska at Kearney is not a major flagship university, (the Lincoln campus is the main one), this particular professorship seems from the article on the university to be particularly distinguished.

What self published works would these be, that are under accusation? I don't know that Coffee House or Salt would appreciate the suggestion. - Travis Hedge Coke (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 05:12, 13 March 2009 (UTC).


 * A) Travis Hedge Coke, calm down (and please, read our guidelines on potential conflict of interest). B) The article needs a good rewrite and trim, but Allison Hedge Coke does meet notability criteria. DS (talk) 12:28, 13 March 2009 (UTC)`


 * Keep. Salt Publishing certainly aren't a vanity press, and Allison Hedge Coke is a well-established poet. Clean-up is certainly needed - I'll have a go in a week or so when I have a bit more time on my hands. Vizjim (talk) 21:53, 13 March 2009 (UTC)
