[edit] Jane Musoke-Nteyafas

Is this really a notable person? She is suposedly a poet, writer, columnist and playwright – but has not published any works. She has written a couple of articles in a non-notable(?) magazine. What do you reckon? Ezeu 22:07, 22 December 2005 (UTC)
Addition: The reason why I suspected this article and nominated it for deletion is because the first edtions looked like a CV, and the person who initiated it shares the same name with the subject. --Ezeu 00:43, 23 December 2005 (UTC)

• weak keep - seems regionally well-known MNewnham 22:40, 22 December 2005 (UTC)
• Delete - "Her first poetry books "Daughters of the Earth" and King David's Rhymes are currently awaiting publishing." I think her Wikipedia page should wait as well. Tom Harrison ^(talk) 22:57, 22 December 2005 (UTC)
• Keep verifiable. Jcuk 00:09, 23 December 2005 (UTC)
• Personally, I'm inclined to the belief that a writer I've heard of has to be notable to some extent for me to have heard of them. I'm just not well-connected enough to have heard of a non-notable writer — I don't have hip literati friends, I don't go to poetry readings, I don't spend my money on underground litzines. Though I can't particularly recall where I'd heard of her before, I have heard of her, so by definition that means she can't be a nobody. That said, in the absence of any concrete evidence as to where I would know her from, I can really only vote weak keep. Bearcat 00:24, 23 December 2005 (UTC)
• Weak delete as per nom. As Tom Harrison says the page can be recreated once her book(s) are published. Dlyons493 Talk 00:26, 23 December 2005 (UTC)
• Keep and cleanup. No reason to delete this. -- JJay 02:35, 23 December 2005 (UTC)
• Keep - clean article listing a bunch of exibitions. Renata3 04:37, 23 December 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. I think a lot of wikipedians have a gross misunderstanding of the artist community. An exhibition or a publication in local magazines are not notable. My mother, for God's sakes, has her horrid poetry published in a whole bunch of local papers. Flyboy Will 09:56, 23 December 2005 (UTC)
