The Wellington Underground Poets definitely existed and deletion of this page looks disturbingly like an attempt to suppress their existence. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 192.190.108.28 (talk) 00:43, 13 January 2009 (UTC)

 * Delete - Not a single book found in a Google Book Search. Couldn't find a single non-wiki-copy site about them. WP:NEO and possibly WP:HOAX. I wouldn't call this WP:OR, but it certainly has no WP:RS. D ARTH P ANDA duel 04:57, 23 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete, fails WP:N, zero results from NZ Herald, Scoop, Stuff, TVNZ. XLerate (talk) 05:10, 23 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete due to lack of sources - SimonLyall (talk) 10:55, 23 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete sounds like blatant unreferenced self promotion to me. Michellecrisp (talk) 03:58, 24 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep: sober and balanced: masterfully gathers and orders references and links; needs more embedding. -- 192.190.108.28 (talk) 06:19, 24 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment. Might you point me to the masterfully gathered and ordered references and links? I can't see them... D ARTH P ANDA duel 12:57, 24 November 2008 (UTC)
 * - The people, the places, the publications, the dates: they fit! - 192.190.108.28 (talk) 06:26, 25 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment. I don't see how that is relevant to our discussion on WP:RS and WP:N. Seems like a case of WP:OR now. D ARTH P ANDA duel 13:01, 25 November 2008 (UTC)
 * It relates to discussion on references and links. - 192.190.108.28 (talk) 06:13, 26 November 2008 (UTC)


 * Delete per nom, Darth Panda, XLerate, SimonLyall, and Michellecrisp.   — Jeff G. (talk&#124;contribs) 07:28, 24 November 2008 (UTC)
