Subject is a dentist who wrote a couple of poetry books and co-edits a magazine. Appears to fail wp:gng. Web search reveals several hits from brooksbookshaiku.com, the site of his co-editor at Modern Haiku, but little else of note. gråb whåt you cån (talk) 21:49, 1 April 2012 (UTC)

 * Keep Gurga appears to be one of the more famous of modern American poets and extensively famous within the realm of haiku. I have added some sources to the article that reflect this, as to make his notability more evident. Silver  seren C 05:09, 15 April 2012 (UTC)
