Delete per WP:BIO, nom. --Mysmartmouth 03:04, 28 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

comment awww. I think you should keep her and not delete. she is obviously very proud of her one published poem. If you are reading this Emma I wish you the best of luck in your future writing career. I hope they don't delete you. Igbogirl 03:09, 28 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Affirmations are warm and snuggly, but this is an encyclopedia, not an effort to prove that everyone is notable in their own little way. Out!!! --Brianyoumans 06:10, 28 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Emma may one day become a great poet, but those anthologies exist for two purposes: a) to make money from the $39.99 shelled out by the poets to buy the anthology; and b) to tap into the desire of poets to get published. Poets with legitimate claims to notability get published in venues of higher quality than this crass money-making scheme (climbs down from soap box).

Delete We might never have a WP:MUSIC-type guideline on poets, such as how many published poems constitute notability, etc. However, if we did I think the number would likely be higher than one. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 16:38, 28 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
