The best I could find to establish notability was the indymedia story about the poetry slam [1]. Everything else is passing at best. Plus we have a "Who's who" in the references. Theredproject (talk) 23:00, 10 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Delete, albeit reluctantly. The subject gets precisely one mention in the British or Irish major media, at the BBC website: (http://www.bbc.co.uk/northernireland/learning/getwritingni/sp_gm_phone.shtml). This appears in this instance to be more a primary source than secondary ("Send us your short stories ... or poems ... Each week, we'll showcase one local writer."). Possibly this is a case of WP:TOOSOON. Fiachra10003 (talk) 00:38, 11 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
