Curtain (poem)

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Article about a poem, "referenced" only to its inclusion in a school textbook rather than any evidence of reliable source analysis about it. As always, a literary work is not "inherently" notable just because it technically metaverifies its own existence; the notability test is reliable source coverage about the work to demonstrate its significance. And in this case, even the poet herself doesn't have a biographical article at all -- and while that isn't a deletion criterion for a writer per se the way it is with albums vis-à-vis musicians, it does suggest that the poem's article is less likely to be repairable than it might have been if the poet were actually demonstrated as notable.
