Jim Bernard
Not notable (but the page claims notability, so this can't be speedied). A search for the name turns up about 16,000 Ghits, but in the first three pages there's not a single one that apparently refers to this Jim Bernard. I also couldn't find any trace on Amazon of either of the referenced books. —LrdChaos (talk) 12:48, 10 September 2007 (UTC)

 * Delete unless notability evidence provided. The name is too common for reasonable Google research, so I tried the more distinctive of the two titles mentioned in the article. Googling   (exact phrase) yields exactly 3 distinct hits — one being a rather strange personal website page and the other two being bookseller links including the work . I'm not knowledgeable about Australian publishing, but such unavailability suggests a vanity-published work fairly unknown even Down Under. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 13:35, 10 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete. After perusing his alleged poetry on his website (scroll down past all the self-aggrandizement of his physique to find the poems), I am inclined to feel he will never be notable, except perhaps in the sense of William McGonagall, and that the single quote given on his page really is his most memorable quotation. Both the bookseller links Jeff Q includes note that Poet for a Lark is self-published. --Ubiquity 14:33, 10 September 2007 (UTC)

 * Delete as subject is not notable in own right nor are quotes remarkable enough to make him notable. FloNight&#9829;&#9829;&#9829; 17:04, 10 September 2007 (UTC)
