I can't find significant coverage for this author. Joe Chill (talk) 22:12, 7 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete. Borderline speedy (no assertion of notability). I don't think that authoring books is a de facto claim to notability. Pburka (talk) 23:51, 7 February 2010 (UTC)

 * Keep Delete . Additional reference in discussion below make me convinced of "keep". However, contrary to Pburka, there is a definite claim of notability in his 3 poetry books.  They simply fall below a sufficiently wide reception (at least as evidenced) to warrant a keep.  LotLE × talk  08:17, 8 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep per anthology, and review in Irish Times, (article much improved since nomination.) Pohick2 (talk) 01:25, 11 February 2010 (UTC)
 * One source with significant coverage doesn't show notability. Joe Chill (talk) 01:27, 11 February 2010 (UTC)

 * comment (i found 1 source); anthology? Pohick2 (talk) 22:46, 13 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so consensus may be reached.


 * Keep An entry in the International Who's Who in Poetry and Poets' Encyclopaedia (p. 6, see Google Books) should be sufficient for inclusion, in my opinion. It is possible to find more:, , . --Vejvančický (talk) 11:44, 14 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete. As a poet, WP:CREATIVE applies.  The rather stringent notability requirements for creative professionals, including poets, requires that the individual is "regarded as an important figure or is widely cited by their peers or successors", "has created, or played a major role in co-creating, a significant or well-known work, or collective body of work, that has been the subject of an independent book or feature-length film, or of multiple independent periodical articles or reviews" or "The person's work either (a) has become a significant monument, (b) has been a substantial part of a significant exhibition, (c) has won significant critical attention..."  The provided references do not support this in any way.  Biographies on publishers' websites are not independent, the newspaper articles do not really reference or cite his work and blogspots are generally considered trivial sources.  There is no evidence that Agee is widely cited by peers or successors.  Wikipeterproject (talk) 19:17, 15 February 2010 (UTC)
