[edit] John Powers (poet)

Non-notable author, "references" cited are a short Amazon blurb and what effectively amounts to a blog. Cannot find any substantial mention with a Google search. Seraphimblade 13:44, 23 November 2006 (UTC)

• delete: no way near notable enough, and might discourage users from creating articles about the far more notable baseball player with the same name. yandman 15:49, 23 November 2006 (UTC)

  • I believe it refers to slam poetry. Not my cup of tea, but yeah, it exists. --Wafulz 05:30, 24 November 2006 (UTC)
• Question: Not saying I oppose the deletion, but why would anyone want to create an article about a baseball player at John Powers (poet)? Wouldn't John Powers or John Powers (baseball player) be a better choice? - Mgm|^(talk) 22:40, 23 November 2006 (UTC)

And that was at 3 in the afternoon... I think it's time I tried sleep. Bonne nuit. yandman 22:50, 23 November 2006 (UTC)

• Delete per nom, unless he happens to be the brother of the more famous Austin. WMMartin 18:01, 28 November 2006 (UTC)
