Seems to be an article by an SPA to promote a concept from Denny Januar Ali. No indication of notability. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 00:54, 14 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

- Delete Looks like a walled garden. Has not established notability beyond the circle of people who invented it. Needs more time to see if the genre and concept becomes notable as reported in multiple reliable sources, which are intellectually independent of those pioneering writers and publishers. -- Green Cardamom (talk) 00:55, 16 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete. The term "poetic essay" has been in use at least as far back as the 4th century, and it appears to generally refer to an essay that is considered 'poetic' and nothing more ([1], [2], [3], [4]). The reliable sources that I found relate to this meaning, and not some new form of poetry invented in the last few years. --Michig (talk) 07:00, 21 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Well in fairness, there are sources that show the genre (if it can be called) does exist, invented by the poet Denny JA in Indonesia recently. [5]"That’s what makes the idea he labels Poetic Essay important in the development of our poetry." If the phrase was used earlier in a different context shouldn't matter to determining this use of the phrase which has a specific meaning. -- Green Cardamom (talk) 14:45, 21 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Yes, but the point is, the reliable sources that exist referring to "poetic essay" are not referring to this topic. It's the lack of reliable sources showing that this topic has encyclopedic relevance which indicate that we shouldn't have an article here. --Michig (talk) 15:01, 21 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
