Notable? I'm not much of a poetry fan, so apologies if I've overlooked something obvious, but it's not looking promising. --Bongwarrior (talk) 06:51, 3 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment. Other than two very, very brief incidental mentions in two news articles and a brief critique of his work in this book (which he also contributed to), I'm not finding much. The links on the article aren't usable, as one is to a non-notable blog and the other two come up as dead links to sites that have since stopped paying for server space. (Which makes it likely that they wouldn't be able to show notability anyway, although I know that's not always a given.) I'll see what else I can find, but most of what I'm seeing are either primary sources, "junk" results, hits for the Italian word "che" along with "Elias", or sites that wouldn't be considered as RS-es.Tokyogirl79 (talk) 07:15, 3 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete. Unless there's some sources out there that aren't on the Internet, there's nothing out there to show that this guy is notable. He's mentioned once or twice in various news article, but never in depth to where it could be seen as a RS. There's one sole book mention, but he was also a contributor for the book so I'm not sure how usable the mention in that book would be, and that's even considering that the critique was by another person. Other than this, there's just no reliable sources out there that aren't primary or otherwise non-usable. Even in the non-usable sources the actual hits from blogs and "real people" are pretty scant, meaning that other than a few blogs about him, there's just nothing out there.Tokyogirl79 (talk) 07:23, 3 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

- Delete the article says that he's on the staff of the press that has published all his listed works. That makes them all self-published. None of the references provide in-depth coverage. If such sources are added tot he article, feel free to ping my talk page. Stuartyeates (talk) 22:31, 20 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
