Notability challenge. A quote is found on the Internet, seems a collection of amateur poets' works. Seems no publication but on the Internet.--Aphaia 17:43, 11 May 2007 (UTC)

 * Delete unless notability evidence provided for this web-savvy elementary school "staff member". (A janitor? An administrator? Surely not a teacher, or they'd say so. But public school staff of any kind rarely meet notability thresholds, anyway.) I'm also concerned about sourcing the quotes. "A large collection of his hundred-word prose poems, called The Presentations" may be "on the internet", but so were my writings (on my Wikiquote user page) before I got tired of looking at them. Even the cited University of Pennsylvania web publication CrossConnect should be eyed with suspicion, as its mission is "to create a new outlet for writers" and "to promote the works of artists by providing a viable outlet to reach their audience" — an admirable project for college students, but not something that can be the sole evidence of a notable person's work. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 21:49, 16 May 2007 (UTC)
