Haruna Rei

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

A relatively young tanka poet who has published some poems and been mentioned in a few blogs, but no significant independent RS on her. The book mentioned in the article is self-published, as is her Blue Train magazine. The text of the article itself is taken word for word from the Amazon author description, and thus could be a candidate for speedy deletion as advertising. I think it fails WP:AUTHOR and WP:GNG, but the poetry community in Japan is rather rarefied, so perhaps an expert opinion is necessary. Michitaro (talk) 04:27, 25 August 2015 (UTC)
