Peter Maneos

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

I propose deleting Peter Maneos as a non-notable vanity page. The creator has edited nothing else, except Pietros maneos, which is an alternative form of the name and now a redirect to this. The claims to notability (or as the creator calls it "notoriety", i. e. ill repute, but I don't think that was intended) are merely promotional and extremely overblown: "the famed Abercrombie and Fitch Quarterly" (my italics) "his poetry was compared to that of Pablo Neruda, Algernon Charles Swinburne, and Lord Byron" — no citation is given for these claimed comparisons to some of the most canonical poets in the Western canon. (Swinburne was added by an IP in 2010, to be fair.) Compare also this. Bishonen &#124; talk 05:17, 15 January 2014 (UTC)


 * I find this suggestion highly uninformed. I personally saw Mr. Maneos lecture at the esteemed Salmagundi Club on the nascent rise of Romantic Aestheticism in modern culture as well as to sign his most recently published novella, The Italian Pleasures of Gabriele Paterkallos.  One need only go to Amazon.com and search for this work to see the bevy of reviews from literary critics, philosophers and general readers alike.  Additionally, his work was compared to Algernon Charles Swinburne by Dr. John Paul Russo, a Harvard educated literary scholar, and the head of the University of Miami Graduate Program.  I know this because I own his first collection of poems that was published in Rome and the review is on the book itself.


 * Best,

 * Lilli, may I ask if you're the same person as the page creator, Adonis123? Bishonen &#124; talk 00:14, 17 January 2014 (UTC).


 * Bishonen, No, I am not. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.119.161.28 (talk) 21:24, 17 January 2014 (UTC)


 * OK. Then may I ask how you became aware of the two proposals for deletion of the article that you removed here and here? I posted alerts about the proposals on Adonis123's talkpage, but there has been no response from the account, only from you. Please don't take offense, but I kind of assumed that you were Adonis and had perhaps forgotten your password. Bishonen &#124; talk 14:28, 18 January 2014 (UTC).


 * Delete Everything I can find about the subject or his pseudonym is either self-generated, trivial or from unreliable sources. I don't believe he meets WP:GNG as a model (?), and his work as an author has not received sufficient coverage either. § FreeRangeFrog croak 20:24, 17 January 2014 (UTC)
