No evidence of independent, reliable sources exist for this person. Everything appears to be self-published, or trivial mentions, or the like. Jayron 32 18:12, 8 May 2023 (UTC)

 * Keep Upton is not merely self-published, he had a book published by one of the most famous presses in twentieth century American poetry, City Lights Bookstore in 1968. He has a bio of three double column pages in The Beats, literary bohemians in postwar America. There's also a short bio in Guide to Literary Masters and Their Works.--Jahaza (talk) 20:17, 8 May 2023 (UTC)
 * I never said his works were self-published. It appears that sources about his life are not independent sources, that source material is self-published.  -- Jayron 32 13:53, 10 May 2023 (UTC)
 * Keep User:ONUnicorn has dropped 3 refs on the talk page and looks like they are currently working these into the article; I have the citation for a journal (but not the source) on the talk page, which reviews two of Upton's works, if there is to be a Reception section.

 * Have found another reliable journal review. Not flattering, but it's a review.  Esowteric +  Talk  +  Breadcrumbs   10:51, 11 May 2023 (UTC)


 * Withdraw nomination The additional sources that have been provided alleviate my concerns over notability. -- Jayron 32 12:26, 11 May 2023 (UTC)
 * Thank you: your nomination highlighted a valid and important issue.  Esowteric +  Talk  +  Breadcrumbs   12:58, 11 May 2023 (UTC)
