Talk:Alex Caldiero

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

What exactly does constitute a poet being meeting the criteria of having importance or significance? More people knowing about their work, which is exactly why this article has been started. As far as the literary importance of any writer it is, as always, according to the reader to interpret.

Ahh, but to get more people to know about him is not the purpose of a Wikipedia entry. Documenting fame and notability already garnered in reliable sources is a better approximation. Have you got documentation of any awards, honors, or media coverage of him? I'm right on the cusp of denying the speedy deletion in order to try a broader audience, but I'd like to see at least one major-media source/unbiased review before doing so... the SLC article is a start, have you got another? -- nae'blis 22:47, 1 February 2007 (UTC)

I'm pretty new to editing on wikipedia, but I'm working on a major edit to this article. I plan on giving a more complete set of references to Alex and eliminating what I can see is unsubstantiated. I would appreciate some time to avoid the "speedy deletion. Question, do all of the references have to be online? wickenden 23:06, 5 March 2007 (UTC)wickenden

I've added a bunch of performances, publications and so forth that Alex Caldiero has participated in. I am now in process of gathering all the sources. I'm a bit confused about what needs to be sourced --. I'm gathering ISBN's for all the books, but am not sure how to document events that weren't written about. wickenden

If it wasn't written about anywhere, it's not includable in Wikipedia just because we can't prove it ever happened. Personal experience doesn't count. His own (published) statements at a later date can help, but they generally won't provide enough detail to really craft a coherent narrative. What sort of events are you thinking of? -- nae'blis 22:06, 20 March 2007 (UTC)
