 * Speedy Keep and tag for sourcing. WP:BEFORE was not performed. Knobel is a poet, with a very old article, that needs sourcing., and , plus, The University of New South Wales has accepted his papers into their collection.].  Obviously needs editing.  User:Haminoon might want to withdraw this one.  Or someone else can close, speedy.E.M.Gregory (talk) 12:02, 18 May 2015 (UTC)
 * I did perform WP:BEFORE and found the links you found. UNSW holds the papers of any local published author who asks them to, including self-published poets. Austlit's inclusion criteria is on their website and includes any poet born in Australia, including self-published poets. The first link is just a summation of library catalog entries, already linked from the article. None of these are evidence of notability. See WP:Author. --  haminoon  ( talk ) 22:25, 18 May 2015 (UTC)
 * Wow. I knew the biome was different  down under, but I had no idea Australia was as different as all that!  Still trying to wrap my old-world mind around the idea of a University library that keeps the papers of any writer who asks.  A university-based writer's list that includes "any poet born" in the country. Or  a university library that shelves any book anyone gives it.

 * Delete Dove in with more thorough searches. Could not source this self-published person, or his poetry, or the anthologies he has compiled - or discover any indication of notability.E.M.Gregory (talk) 14:24, 23 May 2015 (UTC)
