Tony Hanes

Self-published author, fails WP:BIO. Google search on "Tony Hanes" poet shows no significant coverage from reliable sources - mainly social media profiles. MikeWazowski (talk) 20:08, 26 September 2011 (UTC)


 * I feel that the article is solid with new added links and two sources for interviews where his work can be heard or talked about. There are pages and articles with less information and no other links to different resources that are current in the eyes of wikipedia and are not up for deletion. I would seriously consider leaving this article. I just did several searches myself for Tony Hanes, Anthony Hanes, Anthony Chavon Hanes, An Abstract World Emotions, and several sites were able to be viewed. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 96.10.214.126 (talk) 20:25, 26 September 2011 (UTC) — 96.10.214.126 (talk) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.
 * Hi -- which of those sources do you feel are "reliable sources", withing wikipedia's policy, sufficient to evidence notability? Thanks.--Epeefleche (talk) 21:33, 26 September 2011 (UTC)

 * Delete. Self promotion. - DonCalo (talk) 19:00, 27 September 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete I've checked one of the books so far (An Abstract World Vol 2) and found that it is self-published (AuthorHouse). It is the only one currently listed at Amazon (which is better than not being listed there at all...), but that does not itself indicate significance. Poetry is an even harder field to achieve notability in - worse than fiction. I applaud the courage of Mr Hanes in trying, and wish him success, but we here at Wikipedia cannot help him up the ladder. Peridon (talk) 19:53, 27 September 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete Blatant spamming. All the links, references or otherwise, are a list of sites to purchase books, or to reference to authors own books. No secondary reliable sources that adequately establishes notability Cantaloupe2 (talk) 11:54, 30 September 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom. No significant or reliable claim of notability. ---  RepublicanJacobite  TheFortyFive  16:46, 2 October 2011 (UTC)
