- Keep James Deahl is one of the more important Canadian poets and publishers in Ontario. He and I are both Americans and I have no qualms in saying that we are insulted that you take Canadian contributions to literature so lightly. WayneRay 23:58, 22 February 2006 (UTC)WayneRay[reply]
- I'll support that he's a reasonably notable poet and editor. I can't claim he's someone I've personally heard of, but a Google search brings his name up in direct conjunction with more than enough notable Canadian literary figures (Milton Acorn, Al Purdy, etc.) that I'm comfortable judging this to be a keep. In fact, there's already a reference to him in Acorn's Wikipedia article, which has been sitting there unwikified since 2002. Bearcat 08:13, 25 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
