The result was keep on procedural grounds. I'm interpreting the nominator's removal of the AfD notice, ten minutes after adding it, as a withdrawal of the nomination. If that is incorrect and the nominator still wants it deleted after seeing Bm gub's comment, a new AfD may be started. —David Eppstein (talk) 15:54, 29 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

keep He had only written four mainstream books at the time he was named Laureate; it sold 50,000 copies (http://www.nytimes.com/library/books/121999collins-publish-war.html), almost unheard of for a book of poetry; it was widely reviewed and discussed (http://query.nytimes.com/gst/fullpage.html?res=9402EFDE153BF93BA25752C1A9679C8B63&sec=&spon=&pagewanted=1); it gets 3,000 ghits. I will edit the article to reflect this. Bm gub (talk) 02:34, 29 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
