Speedy delete per TheIslander. JuJube (talk) 20:04, 7 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Comment it is also, for what's it worth, a clear case of WP:AUTO. Shawn in Montreal (talk) 20:55, 7 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy delete per nom. Also, he created the article on himself and nothing deserves to be deleted more than self-promotion. Buh-bye. MiracleMat (talk) 21:22, 7 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

*Keep: Ok, I tagged the article requesting speedy deletion (CSD G12) when it was a copyright violation, but frankly I think the guy has notability. He has 8 cd's out, is published in quite a few books and has done live performances. Now the article is a mess and doesn't characterize things that well, but I think he's notable, the Autobiography thing not withstanding. Toddst1 (talk) 22:17, 7 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

All of the albums seem to be independent; "MusEx Records" gets virtually no hits. Ten Pound Hammer and his otters • ^{(Broken clamshells•Otter chirps)} 23:23, 7 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I agree. Plus he is largely self-published and the references, from the Museum of American Poetics, are from an organization he created, as I understand it. Delete, unless other sources can be found. Shawn in Montreal (talk) 23:43, 7 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I should also point out that Mr. Cohn's article on his museum, which is cited repeatedly in his WP:AUTO article, was itself deleted as non-notable. See: The Museum of American Poetics.Shawn in Montreal (talk) 00:03, 8 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy delete, as Jimcohn (talk · contribs) has blanked the page and Closedmouth (talk · contribs) has tagged it with {{db-author}}. --Dhartung | Talk 04:02, 8 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
