Billy Lamont

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Excessively promotional article for a poet of questionable notability. Possible COI from the page creator, definitely a single purpose account, to date. Not signed to any major label or publisher; most releases seem to be though his own company or other self-publishing companies. Most of the provided references are either primary sources, blogs, unreliable sources, or simple calendar listings. Google news search on "Billy Lamont" poet shows only 4 results, none significant coverage. Standard search on the same terms shows little significant coverage from reliable sources - a lot of blogs, user generated content, other unreliable sources, primary sites and social media.

 * Delete - I can't find coverage about him. The HM magazine interview might lend some notability.  However, the rest of the sourcign in the article fails to establish notability.  The article itself is all pure promotion. -- Whpq (talk) 16:44, 1 November 2011 (UTC)
