David Koehn

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Fails WP:POET, non-notable as a university teacher or tech entrepreneur. Article previously deleted twice and salted, author created under David Koehn (poet) to bypass but was later moved to David Koehn ~ riley  ( talk  ) 07:42, 1 April 2020 (UTC)

 * Delete : Not a notable university teacher or tech entrepreneur. - Sanyam.wikime (talk) 10:35, 1 April 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete - for as far as I can see, the subject isn't notable. --MrClog (talk) 20:43, 1 April 2020 (UTC)
 * I see that someone has been name-dropping in this article in the last half-hour without any sources. That is counter-productive. To save this we need independent reliable sources with significant coverage of Koehn. Phil Bridger (talk) 16:09, 2 April 2020 (UTC)
 * The deleted names Koehn worked with are referred to here by an independent source: https://www.poetryfoundation.org/harriet/2015/05/this-summer-lets-go-back-to-cool-with-omnidawn-publishing- — Preceding unsigned comment added by 107.205.15.71 (talk) 17:26, 3 April 2020 (UTC)


 * Delete: Given lack of lack of notability and, well, being deleted and salted. &mdash; Javert2113 (Siarad.&#124;&#164;) 00:08, 3 April 2020 (UTC)
 * The names included were included the same way as on the Dean Rader page and this names are all connected to referenceable sources (for example the names listed in the article are refenceable here: https://www.omnidawn.com/prosody-online-workshop/. This person is more esteemed, has more awards, more references, and more books than other authors in the same press...as an example see Jackie Craven. The current attitude of the flags indicate inequitable flags relative to other successful Wiki posts. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 107.205.15.71 (talk) 15:08, 3 April 2020 (UTC)
 * That is the opposite of an independent source, because (it was claimed ) Koehn is on the board of directors of the publisher. And we are discussing this particular article here. There may be others that should be deleted, but they should be discussed separately. Phil Bridger (talk) 15:42, 3 April 2020 (UTC)
 * Norma Cole is also on the Omnidawn board. This does not impact her references to Omnidawn. The workshop is an independent offering by Koehn where the proceeds are donated to Omnidawn. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 107.205.15.71 (talk) 15:57, 3 April 2020 (UTC)
 * It certainly should disqualify references to Omnidawn as independent in the article about Cole. As I said above, we are discussing Koehn here, not Cole. Phil Bridger (talk) 16:01, 3 April 2020 (UTC)


 * Delete and SALT Clearly not notable. – Muboshgu (talk) 02:09, 4 April 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete, salt both undabbed and dabbed titles. To the IP: Any sources that the subject or their surrogates controls, has written, or contributed to do not count when assessing notability as Wikipedia defines it. By definition an organisation he's on the BoD for is a surrogate for him. Whether or not the names are referenceable is also a red herring, as is pointing to other articles. —A little blue Bori  v^_^v  Onward to 2020 03:02, 4 April 2020 (UTC)
 * "Delete and SALT both undabbed and dabbed titles" Fails all notability standards and clearly Koehn will continue to re-create this article unless there is stringent SALTing. Best, GPL93 (talk) 19:23, 6 April 2020 (UTC)
