[edit] Solage (poetry)

Solage (poetry) (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) (delete) – (View log)

Notability for this style of poetry appears to be lacking. Ecoleetage (talk) 02:10, 29 May 2008 (UTC)

• neutral rename I changed my vote after a little thought. A search for the poet Cameron Semmens returns a few pages which reference him, though no actual article. What should be done is to make a page for him (since he's notable enough to be referred to a few times already) and put the content in there. -- De Guerre (talk) 02:22, 29 May 2008 (UTC)

• comment By the way, this is my first ever deletion discussion, so apologies in advance if I accidentally break etiquette. Please AGF. -- De Guerre (talk) 03:02, 29 May 2008 (UTC)

• Delete per Wikipedia is not for things made up at a poetry slam one day. Mr. Semmens, as well, appears unnotable -- almost all of the references to him are for an incident where he owned a domain name similar to one chosen by David Cameron. --Dhartung | Talk 04:03, 29 May 2008 (UTC)

Doesn't winning an Australian state prize in poetry make you at least stub-worthy? I would have thought so. Anyway, I'm actually more concerned about losing the edit history (for GFDL reasons) than losing the article, which is why I proposed a rename (it would be a merge if he actually had a stub) instead of a delete. Still, I'm happy to go with the consensus. -- De Guerre (talk) 23:49, 29 May 2008 (UTC)

Response In concept, yes. But you need to add that information to the article. Mr. Semmens is not represented here, unfortunately. Ecoleetage (talk) 01:46, 30 May 2008 (UTC)

• Delete. No opinion on whether Mr. Semmens is worthy of an article or not. Note also that Solage was a poet/composer active in the late fourteenth century, and an article under this title may be mildly confusing. - Smerdis of Tlön (talk) 16:46, 29 May 2008 (UTC)
