Apparently self-published internet poet. Only claim of notability is inclusion in "World Poets Society", which appears to be a nothing more than a blog (and allows anyone to become a member). Delicious carbuncle (talk) 18:51, 11 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

It is not true that World Poets Society is a blog anyone can join, I discovered that one must be a published Poet, either in book form or on the Internet,to join. I also discovered that part of the requirements for joining the Society is that(1)one must submit atleast five of one's poems,(2)submit one's profile, e.t.c. The society is a literary organization of over seven hundred award winning Contemporary Poets from more than one hundred countries, who write in different languages. It only uses a blogsite as its website.

It is true that I have made little or no edits outside this topic. Truth is that, I had just registered and immediately came across this topic, and as a Nigerian, familiar with the careers of most Nigerian contemporary writers, especially Poets, I decided to contribute.In any case, my registration was before this topic.Ijele (talk) 09:33, 16 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

- Recommend WP:SOCK investigation of this user and other little-used Nigerian accounts in article history. Potatoswatter (talk) 12:50, 17 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- What???? Delete, we don't care what country you're from, or about your civic service project, or your poetry club among other mundane minutiae. Make a difference in the world and someone who doesn't even know you will add you to WP. Potatoswatter (talk) 12:47, 17 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete. Article doesn't even make a claim to meeting the WP:BIO notability standard. He writes poems. Wow. That's more than I do, but that isn't sufficient. --brewcrewer (yada, yada) 16:01, 17 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete. Unpublished poet except on internet sites, as far as I can determine. External links are all Blogspot sites apparently authored by the subject of the article. World Poets' Society membership available free by emailing in five of your poems. Fails WP:N. --Karenjc 21:07, 17 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
