WP:BLP of a poet, not making or sourcing any claim to passing WP:AUTHOR. The only discernible notability claim here is that she and her work exist, which is not an automatic notability freebie in and of itself in the absence of any evidence of her importance (e.g. notable literary awards, critical or academic attention, etc.), and the only reference is a directory entry on the self-published website of an organization she's directly affiliated with, which is not a notability-making source.

 * Delete not enough sources to show notability.John Pack Lambert (talk) 16:09, 27 January 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete I was unable to find anything to establish she should be included in Wikipedia. Missvain (talk) 01:06, 28 January 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete. My experience is that poets at this level (multiple published chapbooks, no major awards) are very difficult to source or demonstrate notability, and this one seems to be no exception. It doesn't help that our article spells her middle name wrong (should be Rajnus not Rainus) but with that change I still couldn't find any good sources. —David Eppstein (talk) 07:52, 28 January 2020 (UTC)
