[edit] Mystic poets

Deleted via WP:PROD, now recreated. Contains some rather confusing WP:OR assertions of what a "mystic poet" supposedly is, then produces a more or less arbitrary list of such "mystic poets". If anyone can make this an encyclopedic article, I won't object to keeping it. Sandstein 22:24, 12 May 2006 (UTC)

• Delete unless a decent rewrite can sufficiently describe a "mystic poet" (and all grammar, spelling and format errors are eliminated). -- Scientizzle 22:30, 12 May 2006 (UTC)
• Comment: Most uses of "mystic poet" that I've ever come across are analogous to "woman poet", not to "metaphysical poet" – that is to say, the term merely describes people who are both mystics and poets, rather than being a specific term for a recognised school of poetry. As such, there is unlikely to be any widely-accepted definition of the term or definitive list of people considered "mystic poets". As such, it seems unlikely to me that an article with this title could ever pass WP:NOR. — Haeleth Talk 22:38, 12 May 2006 (UTC)
• Delete as non-notable, unverifiable neologism, i.e. protologism. Stifle (talk) 14:45, 13 May 2006 (UTC)
