NN poet. While there are a lot of sources in the article, they're all either casual event listings, YouTube videos and the like. A Google search for either "Sir Mark Bruback" or "Sir Mark the Poet" (a nom de plume) turns up just a single photograph in a single book, amidst a torrent of LinkedIn, Myspace, last.fm, Reddit and various blog posts. Lacking are any third-party, independent, reliable sources. (The "Sir" is an affectation, apparently, based on him belonging to a "Knights Templar" outfit.) Fails the GNG. Article created by an SPA whose other main Wikipedia activity is creating a page for Bruback's self-published book, which is likewise up for deletion.  Nha Trang  Allons! 18:33, 17 April 2015 (UTC)
