[edit] Caroline Caddy

This individual picks up 96 unique hits on google (see page 10). [1] Does this stub regarding a poet who won the "1990 Western Australian Week Literary Award for poetry" establish enough notability for inclusion? In this case, what is the criteria for notability amongst poets? GRider\^talk 23:57, 17 Feb 2005 (UTC)

• keep minor, but still award-winning poet. (don't forget the 1991 and 1992 National Book Council awards) why delete? this doesn't appear to be a vanity or self-promotional article. i think it's great that wikipedia is comprehensive enough to cover lesser-known poets.

• Keep, and expand. Megan1967 02:05, 18 Feb 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. Some of these "about 140" (when I cliched the search) seem fairly reputable. I know with my additions to Wikipedia, a lot of information and people have been pretty much nonexistant on the web but I've been able to find about them in books. The internet (and therefore google) currently seem to fall short in a few notable areas that a standard library could easily find. An Australian library may have more information on this person. While I have no way to knowing that much for sure, the google links suggest that she is at least as notable as our lower threshold of articles. (Even if there aren't fanpages about her,etc.) --Sketchee 02:26, Feb 18, 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. According to a database search, a few of her poems appeared in Poetry, the leading journal of its type in English. That added to the info in the article is enough for me. Gamaliel 07:49, 18 Feb 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. Notable Australian, repeatedly aclaimed both in Australia and overseas. Another example of why Google may be useful in establishing that something is notable but is nearly useless for proving something isn't. Andrewa 09:45, 18 Feb 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. Nationally recognised Australian poet who has written a number of poetry books. Capitalistroadster 11:25, 18 Feb 2005 (UTC)
