Eley Williams[edit]

- Keep. If someone can verify that she is indeed soon to be a published author with Harper-Collins, that's good enough for me. The page is a mess, though, and needs fixing. wikipediatrix 03:58, 13 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment. But not for WP:BIO - "Published authors, editors, and photographers who have written books with an audience of 5,000 or more or in periodicals with a circulation of 5,000 or more". If book sales reach 5,000, she can have an article. - Dalbury (talk) 15:07, 13 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- That's why I specified "Harper-Collins". Due to the nature of the book industry, it is a given that 5,000 copies of ANY book from such a major publishing house will be sold to stores that pick it up (even though the majority of them may end up returned for credit and/or remaindered). If this was a self-published chapbook, local imprint, or vanity press, then of course, no way. However, there's no mention of her on the Harper-Collins website, so it would appear that whoever posted the article is misinformed at best. wikipediatrix 01:04, 14 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

- Delete No verifiable evidence that she is a noted poetry writer. 46 Google results for Eley Williams with the first page being genealogy pages. [1].
No Google news hits either. Capitalistroadster 05:52, 13 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete. The only verifiable claim is that she won the "Christoper Tower Poetry Prize in 2005 (winning the £1,500 first prize)" - unfortunately, the first prize is £3,000, and there isn't a £1,500 prize, so the only verifiable claim is wrong. TheMadBaron 06:23, 13 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
