[edit] Yasotha Sriharan

Only claim to fame is that her poetry was once publicly disparaged. I suppose that's enough of a claim that it's not speedyable. Delete. —HorsePunchKid→龜 2005-12-03 20:54:18Z

• Weak Delete... I'd like to be convinced otherwise, since I'm inclusionist at heart, but the article as it is gives little reason to assert sufficient notability. The fact that people were criticizing and defending her on CNN points to a possibility of there being some notability there, so if somebody expands on this in the article I might change my vote. Just why did her name come up on the TV show anyway? *Dan T.* 15:11, 4 December 2005 (UTC)
• Delete - Hmm. Let's see. Google has zero hits the "eminent literary critic" Ishmael de los Despropósitos. And "Despropósitos" translates from both Portuguese and Spanish as "nonsense". The article was created by an anon IP address with no edits except in this article, and modifed by Call-me-Ishmael (talk • contribs) (does that name sound familiar?), who has no edits except in this article. Do I sense a pattern here? -- Dalbury^(Talk) 23:57, 6 December 2005 (UTC)
