I don't think that the subject satisfies WP:AUTHOR and/or WP:NACADEMIC criteria. Most of the sources appear to be self-publications or poetry publications on online literary magazines (with questionable notability by Wikipedia standards). The article itself reads like WP:PROMOTION as well; as a result, I believe the notability should be re-adressed and re-evaluated. Myxomatosis57 (talk) 10:07, 28 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

This second nomination seems irrelevant as this was already discussed at length at a previous debate. The subject does qualify notability criteria as per this citation which is WP:RS and contains a screenful of the text specifically about him. Also taking into account review magazines like Galway Review + Red River Review etc. But there should be a good cleanup and the article needs proper structure.Rbhu23 (talk)

Keep, because of this article and this one. But, suggesting to improve references. Tyuier34 (talk)

Comment: I don't really think a single source (which looks questionable) on its own satisfies the basic notability criteria. The problem with the rest of the review sources (or with the rest of the sources, see WP:NOTEBOMB) is that they appear to be poetry blogs that likely do not satisfy WP:RS (or may lack general editorial oversight). That's what motivated me up to re-open the discussion, because this point was not really addressed in the previous discussion (which featured input from multiple single-purpose accounts). The article is also unfortunately marred with incorrect attributions: there is no mention of Le Mauricien on news.africa article, Indiana Voice Journal was wrongly cited as Indiana Review.

Comment: I agree. It should be Indiana Voice Journal. I did a deep dive(frankly, it could too much of my time). So, the article on Le Mauricien does have the same title as that of [1]. It was the same news reprinted as provided by the webarchive version. I see River River Magazine, El Portal Magazine and Plainsongs Magazine publishing his work, which means literature departments of various universities have interest in his work. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Tyuier34 (talk • contribs) 20:56, 29 November 2021 (UTC) [reply]

Keep, because not only is he [2] in the NCHC (National Collegiate Honors Council) magazine of the University of Nebraska Lincoln, he is part of their undergraduate creative writing syllabus. But the article is in shams. Why would one separate Works and Publications? Has no meaning. Loppyted97 (talk)

Delete. No sign of WP:NPROF. Looks also WP:TOOSOON for WP:NAUTHOR. Getting poems published by the Galway Review is a start, but doesn't demonstrate the kind of impact we're looking for. The student profile doesn't add much to notability; I'm otherwise seeing a lot of WP:REFBOMBING with sources of uncertain at best reliability. The article is in poor enough shape that WP:TNT applies.

Delete Not at all notable as NPROF; not yet notable as an author. DGG ( talk ) 20:46, 4 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
