 * Comment, a gsearch under various permatations (ie. "poet(ry)", "awards", "reviews") reveals that she appears/reads at a lot of festivals ie. "Purdyfest", and is also an ambassador for the Canada Cuba Literary Alliance but have been unable to find the all wiki-important reviews and/or awards, so doesnt look good.

 * Comment It has been drawn to my attention that Prism magazine is an RS. scope_creep Talk  10:32, 24 November 2019 (UTC)
 * Prism International is a reliable source but the reference there is a review by her with a brief bio at the end, rather than a review of her work which I somehow assumed, imv Atlantic306 (talk) 20:59, 24 November 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete. Nothing stated in the article passes WP:AUTHOR, and the references are not reliable or notability-supporting sources for the purposes of establishing that she would pass GNG. Prism would be a reliable source in theory — but the source being cited is not a review of her work, but a review of somebody else's work which has Beeman as its bylined author, which means it isn't about Beeman.

 * Delete. not notable. Also see https://xtools.wmflabs.org/pages/en.wikipedia.org/Chuang726 Graywalls (talk) 10:55, 25 November 2019 (UTC)
 * Comment While the article may fail to meet guidelines set by WP:AUTHOR, WP:N and/or WP:GNG, she is a published poet (see this Amazon link of a 1993 book that is apparently out-of-print). Dr42 (talk) 02:33, 28 November 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete not every literary critic who dabbles in poetry, and gets involved in low level activism is notable. She has nothing else going for her. When the closest we get to a reliable source is a review she wrote, of someone else's work, we have gone far past the threshold of notability.John Pack Lambert (talk) 03:14, 30 November 2019 (UTC)
