Prod contested on the grounds that this poet was nominated for a "Pushcart." Problem is, this award doesn't seem to be much more notable than this writer. Delete.  Blanchardb - Me•MyEars•MyMouth - timed 02:49, 30 May 2009 (UTC)

 * Comment The Pushcart Prize is notable and a real honor but being nominated for it isn't a big deal.Drawn Some (talk) 02:53, 30 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Speedy Delete The biographical text is ripped off verbatim from Madswirl.com. Pastor Theo (talk) 02:55, 30 May 2009 (UTC)

It's his standard of official bio. It's actually published on quite a few more websites than only Madswirl. -The Pushcart is actually quite respected among many in the actual literary community and it is a very small percentage of writers that are ever nominated. So, by the literary community's standards it is a rather huge deal to simply be nominated. I'll remove the article if no one wants it on the site, but it doesn't seem very impartial or educated to vote articles for deletion when you don't seem to have a very informed assessment about the reality of the community or the community's assessment of the subject the article is in. —Preceding unsigned comment added by EdwardwellsII (talk • contribs) 03:01, 30 May 2009 (UTC)
