There's a definite lack of any references asserting notability. The only apparent claim for notability in the article is the book Organic Furniture Cellar, for which references are all blogs except for Jessica Smith's press and an article which quotes one of the blogs afore mentioned at the beginning.

  • Delete. Blog or self-published (logroll) "reviews" are not reliable sources. The Constant Critic review looks semi-notable, but if that's all we've got that's not really much. Wait until she's reviewed by major poetry magazines. Fails WP:BIO. --Dhartung | Talk 21:22, 20 October 2007 (UTC)
  • If you'll click on the link, you'll notice that the review has curiously dissapeared... it was working yesterday. --Slarti (1992) 19:08, 21 October 2007 (UTC)

  • Delete Smacks of self-promotion. —  MusicMaker5376 02:14, 21 October 2007 (UTC)
  • I think delete - all seems to be references to blogs, which are not reliable sources for verifying notability. I removed references to blogs and put them in the external links. I don't have time right now to search for more reliable sources. --Rocksanddirt 15:05, 22 October 2007 (UTC)
