Vanity, advertisement, nn. Delete --Ardenn 20:34, 20 February 2006 (UTC)

• Delete co-editor of unremarkable publishing house in Canada --Ruby 20:56, 20 February 2006 (UTC)
• Strong keep, co-editor of notable Canadian small press specializing in poetry. See discussion below re Unfinished Monument Press. Monicasdude 21:11, 20 February 2006 (UTC)
• Keep President of the Canadian Poetry Association is good enough for me Dlyons493 Talk 22:04, 20 February 2006 (UTC)
• Keep James Deahl is one of the more important Canadian poets and publishers in Ontario. He and I are both Americans and I have no qualms in saying that we are insulted that you take Canadian contributions to literature so lightly. WayneRay 23:58, 22 February 2006 (UTC)WayneRay
  • Considering that the nominator is Canadian, this comment is laughable. Bearcat 08:13, 25 February 2006 (UTC)
• I'll support that he's a reasonably notable poet and editor. I can't claim he's someone I've personally heard of, but a Google search brings his name up in direct conjunction with more than enough notable Canadian literary figures (Milton Acorn, Al Purdy, etc.) that I'm comfortable judging this to be a keep. In fact, there's already a reference to him in Acorn's Wikipedia article, which has been sitting there unwikified since 2002. Bearcat 08:13, 25 February 2006 (UTC)
  • WayneRay 16:00, 25 February 2006 (UTC)WayneRay I have taken upon myself to update and wikify (although it seems I need more experience at it LOL) the Canadian Poets, i will look at the 2002 entry you mentioned. I have more wiki time now.
