[edit] Genevieve LeBaron

Delete nn vanity/hoax. A poet who returns 6 unique google hits, none of which mention any sort of publishing or public readings to support claims made in the article. TheMidnighters 03:18, 28 November 2005 (UTC)

Don't delete. I know her-- she is published in Chapbooks,and reads locally in Olympia, Wa. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by User:130.63.100.118 (talk • contribs).

• Can you prove that she's been published? --TheMidnighters 03:30, 28 November 2005 (UTC)

• Delete unless there is proof of substantial publication or something else to establish more notability. Peyna 04:11, 28 November 2005 (UTC)
• Delete this seems to be her web page, and its off a university web site and asserts no suggestions that anything has been published. In spite of Google returning 111 hits, only 6 non-duplicates were displayed, and the above link was the only one that led to anything. Zordrac 05:28, 28 November 2005 (UTC)

Oh and this says she only graduated in 2003. Not really enough time to get terribly notable. Even if she was recently published, and did read to a couple of famous people, is that in and of itself enough to warrant notoriety? Zordrac 05:31, 28 November 2005 (UTC)

• Delete: Chapbooks are not publications in the classic sense. Good luck to all poets -- may some of them even find readers -- but doing local readings and having limited edition chaps is not notable for an author. Geogre 17:12, 28 November 2005 (UTC)
• Delete vanity. Mark K. Bilbo 17:28, 28 November 2005 (UTC)
• Delete: I'd say keep, if the article actually provided details of all of these medals and trophies she'd won, not to mention the circumstances in which she read some of this poetry to her esteemed audiences, but as it stands now it's just unsubstantiated vanity.
