Notability

Tagged this for notability; another editor removed it without comment, so I have put it back and we can discuss here. Coverage seems mostly local and I'm not sure that he meets WP:NPOET. Tacyarg (talk) 17:05, 21 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I am the editor who removed the tag. Apologies for my lack of etiquette - I'm new here. My specialism is contemporary American and British poetry. In my defence, of the references I quoted, Poetry Review is a UK national journal and Poetry Salzburg is an international journal; it's true that they discuss the poet in his local context, but it is a wide frame of reference. They seem good to me, but I'm not an expert. Over to you guys. Lyricidentity (talk) 08:37, 22 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Since the previous comments, references have been updated and the page now seems creditable and to confirm to WP:NPOET. I have therefore removed the tag. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Lyricidentity (talk • contribs) 14:16, 24 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
