 * Delete not notable. Buckshot06 (talk) 06:22, 1 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Question: If I can find sourcing for the author's article, this might be worthwhile as a redirect to Don Blanding. That article is in dire need of TLC and there does seem to be some buzz about Blanding, so I might recommend this as a redirect if I can salvage Blanding's article. As far as the poem, it does seem to have gotten some mention in various books or been reprinted in various compilations, but I haven't found a lot of stuff that actually talks about it.Tokyogirl79 (talk) 06:46, 1 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Don Blanding. While this poem isn't completely unknown, I can't find a lot of sources that actually discuss it in depth. I feel that sources must be out there somewhere, so I recommend leaving this as a redirect with the article history. The poet is indeed well-known enough that he warrants his own article, so a redirect would be the best course of action here.Tokyogirl79 (talk) 07:37, 1 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Don Blanding. Although the poet was a soldier, the poem is not notable enough for its own article. A redirect to the poet's page would be the best plan. Chewbaccaaa (talk) 11:42, 1 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Don Blanding per Tokyogirl79's rationale. --gråb whåt you cån (talk) 13:16, 3 July 2012 (UTC)
