The result of the debate was '''delete'''. <span style="font-size:99%">'''[[User:Sango123|<fontspan colorstyle="color:darkblue;">Sango</fontspan>]][[User talk:Sango123|<fontspan colorstyle="color:gray;"><span style="cursor:help">123</span></fontspan>]]'''</span> 03:09, 4 July 2006 (UTC)
===[[Torre DeVito]], [[Commuting (poem)]], [[Landscape of my Childhood]], [[A Long Way South of Now]], and [[I Knew a Hominid]]===
NN poet, could barely verify the existence of a poet with this name, let alone anything about him/her. Contested prod.

::Adding several nn poems by this author. There is some kind of vanity going on here; all those articles were created by either [[User:JAnderson]] or [[User:JAnderson@pagecandy.com]], and pagecandy.com comes up with "Torre DeVito;" apparently, Torre DeVito is a web designer involved with pagecandy.com. '''Delete all.'''

:::Note: there are also a couple of redirects to [[Torre DeVito]], and technically, [[Landscape of my Childhood]] is a "collection" of poems rather than a single poem. Regardless, none are verifiable or notable.

*'''Delete''' as unverifiable. I went through all of the links that come up for Mr. DeVito on google with this search [http://www.google.com/search?q=%22Torre+DeVito%22+poet&hl=en&lr=&start=10&sa=N]. Every single site that referred to this poet was a mirror or took its information from Wikipedia but for the subject's "official website" ([http://www.tdevito.com/]), which references ''this Wikipedia article'', and otherwise has all broken links, and this site, [http://www.hufcol.com/poets/], which lists him as a favorite poet among six other giants in poetry, but is apparently a homemade page and thus of no reliability. No relevant hits on google scholar. I think this afd should be extended to include the article subject's three other poems (currently prodded): [[Commuting]], [[Landscape of my Childhood]] and [[A Long Way South of Now]] and vote (prematurely) to likewise '''Delete''' as unverifiable (googling the last listed poem's unique name returns nothing but mirrors).--[[User:Fuhghettaboutit|Fuhghettaboutit]] 04:46, 28 June 2006 (UTC)
::Now that they're listed—'''Delete All'''--[[User:Fuhghettaboutit|Fuhghettaboutit]]

*'''Delete''' it all, per all the great comments above. And, what do we know about the creator of these articles? Is it the author himself? If so, he needs a warning about creation of vanity pages. ---[[User:Theoldanarchist|Charles]] 20:26, 28 June 2006 (UTC)
