 * delete. Vanity page of a nonnotable poet. `'Míkka 15:46, 28 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Weak delete, doesn't seem to turn up many sources online, but the fact that he's been featured in some notable places (e.g. HBO) seems to indicate that he might be a bit notable. Ten Pound Hammer  • (((Broken clamshells • Otter chirps))) 16:20, 28 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep. He's extremely well known in performance poetry and spoken word circles, has been featured on Def Poetry multiple times, and has gone on multiple national tours of major venues. If he were a musician, he would more-than-make WP:Music requirements. Elliotharmon 16:40, 28 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete unless some major referencing/verification is done. WP:V /Blaxthos 17:33, 28 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep. Being able to make a living as a poet seems pretty notable to me. And the article lists plenty of TV appearances etc that I think should be enough for WP:BIO. —David Eppstein 23:28, 28 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep, nationally (even internationally) known poetry slam contender. I've added a few sources to the article, which does have a promotional tone. --Dhartung | Talk 04:47, 29 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep, notable. Everyking 00:07, 1 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Weak keep per WP:BIO criteria for entertainers. --Aarktica 22:15, 1 August 2007 (UTC)
