 * Delete I am not finding reliable 3rd party sources than attest to the notability of the subject or even what seems to be his key work: fails WP:AUTHOR. AllyD (talk) 11:10, 25 August 2013 (UTC)
 * Keep A google search of "please hear what i am not saying" finn shows a whole lot of mentions in books and websites. Appears to be a poem that is often cited. Maybe the article could be renamed to the poem and include a section on the author. -- Green Cardamom (talk) 15:21, 25 August 2013 (UTC)

 * Delete, fails WP:notability. - DonCalo (talk) 14:50, 8 September 2013 (UTC)


 * Keep A well established author and poet, who has several books written, all described in Google Books, and some of them are currently listed on Amazon. Seems worth of a WP article. The article itself, needs a lot of work. It reads like an essay. If it can't improved, I suggest we delete it and start again. Certainly passes WP:GNG scope_creep talk 17:08, 08 September 2013 (UTC)
 * Comment How? Where are the sources to establish that? Having books available on a book selling site does not do it. noq (talk) 19:51, 8 September 2013 (UTC)


 * Keep I agree with Green Cardamom whose approach to the topic seems sensible. Warden (talk) 12:47, 12 September 2013 (UTC)
 * Keep That one poem of his is surely notable. See how far its spread?  A print magazine once published it.  Perhaps just an article for it.  Not sure if any of his other works got coverage anywhere.   D r e a m Focus  18:13, 17 September 2013 (UTC)
 * Comment I'm troubled by a lot of the !votes in this discussion. Arguments like "he's written a lot" or "his books are sold online" are pretty good examples of what does not show notability. Until there's any evidence of substantial independent coverage to pass the GNG, this doesn't really hold up.--Yaksar (let's chat) 00:42, 18 September 2013 (UTC)
 * Strong Delete Looking deeper, I'm unfortunately going to have to !vote delete. Not only is there no independent substantial coverage of him in verifiable sources, but the only mentions at all of him are simply as the author of that poem. And I'm struggling so far to find any GNG passing sources for the poem either, while we're at it.--Yaksar (let's chat) 00:48, 18 September 2013 (UTC)
 * Further, I'd have to oppose turning this into an article on the poem unless we can find any reliable sources discussing it (and no, anthologies of his poems don't work for that)--Yaksar (let's chat) 00:51, 18 September 2013 (UTC)
