Liesl Jobson
Delete Lacks sufficient notability. Circa 500 hits on Google. PhilipO 06:50, 22 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Weak keep. Appears to be an award winning poet, which at least establishes more notability than being a teacher. I don't know how great an honor those awards are though. Sjakkalle (Check!)  11:18, 22 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Weak Keep also, this editor has done quite a bit of editing on poets contribs list will welcome and attempt to persuade to register. Alf 12:13, 22 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Comment. I see that this article was nominated for deletion one minute after it was created. In general, it is best to wait a little bit longer than that before slapping on the VFD tag. Sjakkalle (Check!)  12:18, 22 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep Someone who can write must be notable.  Also I wouldn't dare vote against a S. African policewoman :-)  Dlyons493 12:56, 22 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep for goodness sake, it needs wikifying and work but she won the Poet for Timbila 2004 as well as other awards, she's published, looks notable to me. --KillerChihuahua 14:09, 22 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Userfy (i.e. Delete). Lacks notability. Although I welcome her wikipedia contributions, that does not entitle her to an article in the main space. Poetry competitions are two a penny. The JPS 15:13, 22 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep. Given that those 500 hits seem to be about her and not promotional or duplicates (edit: and not just mailing list posts or blogs), I think 500 hits is fairly notable. While the article could use wikifying and editing, I think it also makes her notability fairly clear. I think User:The JPS's implication that it is written by Liesl Jobson is incorrect, or at least unproven; this IP has done significant work on several South African poets. --Prosfilaes 03:48, 23 August 2005 (UTC)
