I'm not entirely sure if this is fully notable; my searches with the best results were this, this and this with searches at British sources (BBC, Guardian & Telegraph) only finding two links. A search at The Sunday Times wouldn't be good because it needs a log-in (which happens to be one of the best listed sources). SwisterTwister  talk  05:04, 20 July 2015 (UTC)

 * Keep I'll add a few sources for this well-published and well-publicized British poet. The article is promotional and needs sourcing.E.M.Gregory (talk) 19:33, 20 July 2015 (UTC)
 * Added reviews, criticism form high-brow Brit magazine and reviews, criticism form 2 major American dailies. The article still needs a major overhaul.  But User:SwisterTwister, you might want to withdraw this AFD.E.M.Gregory (talk) 20:05, 20 July 2015 (UTC)
 * Yet another case in which proper WP:BEFORE would have shown sources. Really, book reviews in the New York Times are not all that hard to discover in a quick search.E.M.Gregory (talk) 14:55, 23 July 2015 (UTC)
 * Yes but there is a good thing in bringing articles up for AfD because they bring critical eyes to the content, help improve it. In this case, the poet is British but her impact seems to be greater in the US so it is somewhat harder to spot.--Tomwsulcer (talk) 21:47, 23 July 2015 (UTC)


 * Keep. Notable British poet, sufficient references, poetry books reviewed in NY Times and Chicago Tribune, article fixed as per WP:HEYMANN, cruft trimmed, sources upgraded as per WP:RS.--Tomwsulcer (talk) 01:59, 23 July 2015 (UTC)
