 * Comment. How about looking at these 1060 scholarly papers and these 3,750 books before coming to a conclusion about whether this is notable? Phil Bridger (talk) 18:30, 28 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep famous poem, very widely anthologized, which is a valid criterion.    DGG ( talk ) 03:13, 2 November 2010 (UTC)
 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.


 * Keep As Bridger and DGG note, this is a famous and widely republished poem in anthologies. The stub article, to be sure, is a masterpiece of understatement, giving no suggestion of its notability and including no sources.  The notability of the subject, however, is unquestionable.
