Delete--Mjpresson (talk)Ray Liversidge does not appear notable and he wrote this article himself. Arkayel=RKL=Ray K. Liversidge. The references are to blog pages and a personal website=COI. Mjpresson (talk) 00:57, 8 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. I did quite a bit of googling but could not find substantial coverge of this poet or his work by reliable sources. In particular, I looked for substantive reviews of his poetry in literary magazines but found very little, mostly some brief mentions. No significant poetry awards or prizes that I could find either. The closest I found was this:[1]"Highly commended" (an equivalent of third prize, since the first and second prize were also awarded) in a 2004 literary competition by the poetry magazine "The write stuff". Not enough evidence here to pass WP:CREATIVE. Nsk92 (talk) 01:58, 8 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete (as nominator). The RKL theory is a conjecture (originally mine). Even if it is correct, WP:COI discourages but does not forbid autobiographies. The problem with an autobiography is that it is apt to be POV, but this article is not POV. The area where Arkayel seems to lack objectivity is in assessing the Liversidge’s notability. And that lack of notability is why the article should be deleted. —teb728 t c 07:16, 8 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete seems to fails both the notability and verifiability criteria. Jasynnash2 (talk) 09:00, 8 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
