I see no indication that this is a notable group of poets, a brief article in the Boston Globe notwithstanding. Drmies (talk) 05:50, 24 November 2012 (UTC)

 * Weak delete - plenty of passing mentions on various poetry blogs and mentions of membership in relation to particular poets, but not a lot that could be considered "significant coverage". I suppose we would need it to pass WP:ORGDEPTH, which I don't think it does. There are a few articles like this and this from their local paper. They have also published an anthology (not WP:SELFPUB) but that would be by the subject, not about the subject. On balance, not really enough for me to consider it notable but not so strongly non-notable that I strongly believe it should be deleted. Stalwart 111  01:29, 26 November 2012 (UTC)


 * Merge and Redirect to Rhina Espaillat. This is her group she founded, seems like whatever small notability we can find is mostly related to her name recognition. The Boston Globe article is pretty long and in-depth about the group, an interview with her makes up half of it. -- Green Cardamom (talk) 21:59, 28 November 2012 (UTC)


 * For what it's worth, I wouldn't have a strong objection to that. Seems like a reasonable solution to me. Stalwart 111  22:42, 28 November 2012 (UTC)
