Unable to find any reliable sources independent of the subject to sufficiently establish notability. A Google News Archive search of her Russian name, ЯНА ДЖИН, looked promising but all of the hits led to error messages. Does not appear to meet WP:GNG or WP:AUTHOR.

 * Keep Seems to be a fairly well know poet and author with a number of primary sources to establish notability. Article needs sources added and wikified. Don't think she fails WP:AUTHOR. scope_creep (talk) 19:21, 24 August 2010 (UTC)
 * comment: without reliable secondary sources a subject cannot pass WP:AUTHOR or any other subset of WP:PEOPLE per WP:BASIC. Primary sources may be used to support content in an article, but they do not contribute toward proving the notability of a subject. J04n(talk page) 01:39, 26 August 2010 (UTC)
 * comment if i went to the library of congress, and put eyes on the microfilm of the Hecht and Flyagina (surely a pseudonym) reviews would you accept that?  Accotink2  talk 18:19, 4 September 2010 (UTC)


 * Delete I'm leaning delete because there doesn't appear to be sufficient sources to establish WP:GNG or WP:AUTHOR. The author does list reviews on her own page. However, there's nothing to indicate if these are mainstream sources (as in actual book critics) or just reader reviews (which are usually not acceptable). Unless someone can clarify one way or the other, I consider the sources questionable and unacceptable at present. Akerans (talk) 16:24, 26 August 2010 (UTC)

 * weak keep given the notorious english bias, it's unclear if there were "critical russian aclaim" that it would prevail, an expert is required. interesting column "letters from america"  Accotink2  talk 23:49, 30 August 2010 (UTC)
 * An English language bias on an English wikipedia. Say It Ain't So. I bet all the other Wikipedias are perfectly balanced. Shadowjams (talk) 09:17, 31 August 2010 (UTC)
 * if a notable poet gets deleted because russian acclaim is not accessible, and reviews are behind a pay wall, does it make a sound? (the quality of the one column suggests that there is a body of work there) Accotink2  talk 21:30, 31 August 2010 (UTC)

 * Second relist rationale. The article is a BLP. --Ron Ritzman (talk) 00:07, 31 August 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete, badly sourced BLP with no indication it's going to be able to be improved. Appears to fail WP:AUTHOR. — Chromancer  talk/cont 20:15, 5 September 2010 (UTC)
