Delete, Not a notable poet, fails WP:NACADEMIC , Alex-h (talk) 10:25, 7 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Weak delete. Our standards and the publishing norms of the subject make it very difficult for poets to be notable and this is a case in point. I did find one reliably-published review of one book of poetry [1], which is more than usual, but still not enough for WP:AUTHOR. —David Eppstein (talk) 00:12, 9 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - there's so little information available that even the year if his birth is unknown or not verifiable. Bearian (talk) 21:40, 9 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
