G. Onimira Farley
This guy is a poet-- here's why he should be deleted:
 * 53 Google hits, many of them Wiki mirrors
 * Probably vanity page, created by User:Gofarley.
 * Poorly written
 * Attempts to describe his writing style (OR)
 * Meager assertion of notability in saying that he has been writing for 40 years and published a book, so I think a speedy would be heavy-handed AdamBiswanger1 15:43, 10 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Weak Delete. He is a published author (his book is listed at amazon), but I fail to see any evidence he has "received multiple independent reviews of or awards for" his work, as required under WP:BIO. If kept, this article needs a cleanup as well as verifable sources establishing notability -- has he won awards for his work? Has he been the primary subject of multiple, independent non-trivial reviews or news articles? Just having a book published isn't quite sufficient. Scorpiondollprincess 16:03, 10 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete According to the Amazon listing, his book is published by BookSurge, a vanity press. Andrew Lenahan -  St ar bli nd  16:13, 10 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete If he were notable, he'd at the least have individual poems in significant journals not just a vanity press book publication. Sam 16:42, 10 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete Annoyingly written vanity page. Pathlessdesert 16:47, 10 August 2006 (UTC)
