TheFanNJ

A overly promotional article about a non-notable author that lacks reliable sources to back up some unlikely claims to notability. (For example, it's claimed that "Women vs. Ice cream" was nominated for an "Outstanding Achievement in Poetry" by the National Library of Poetry, yet there are only 4 ghits for the title, none of which come close to being reliable).

- Comment would've, but it had some claim to notability, however unlikely to be true. That and it's been speedied before, so it'd be nice to AfD it, so it can be G4'd if it pops up again. --Bfigura ^(talk) 00:51, 1 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. The "National Library of Poetry" is a vanity poetry contest; nomination for an award by them does not constitute critical acclaim. The rest of the article doesn't appear to assert notability: having had a book rejected by a publisher, having taken a number of writing courses, and having started a small company may have been significant events in Mr. Dyer's life, but they don't rise to the level of significance we're looking for.

Get rid of it. Blatantly non-notable and obviously a conflict-of-interest. ~EdGl 02:18, 1 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
