Removing prod tag

Hi, I removed the tag because the article does make claims of notability (e.g., the prize listed below, and the publication list). I'm not enough of an expert to know if this is sufficient notability, but that is a question best resolved at AfD. Deville (Talk) 16:05, 27 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you, Deville. I entered Zolinksy both for his own notability as Objectivist poet and poetry prize winner and also for his interesting ties in the 1920s between Roth and Chambers – Zolinsky may be the direct link between Roth and Chambers, which led to following 1948 event (from Roth entry): In 1948, Roth wrote one of the attorney's of Alger Hiss and offered to testify before HUAC that Whittaker Chambers had written poems for Roth during the 1920s under the alias "George Crosley"–the only person aside from Hiss himself ever willing to testify such. The Hiss defense team chose not to use Roth's deposition. (One of Roth's daughter later claimed that Roth had offered this testimony at least partly because of his "hatred for Communism and Communists.")^[1] (Roth's voluntary offer receives significant attention in the Hiss Case literature.) Perhaps one day there will be more detail available about Zolinsky's role in all this... IMHO, one of Wikipedia's largest contributions is exactly to allow "stub" articles like this, so that linkages like Zolinsky's between Roth and Chambers may spur further investigation and resolution. --Aboudaqn (talk) 15:08, 29 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
