Poets without articles

There's no value to having a list of poets without articles. See WP:LIST for more on the policies behind lists. I'll give some time for people to add articles, but will start to remove the red-linked poets soon. As soon as they have an article, they can be restored to the list.

By language of original work

This list would be far more valuable were it grouped by the language of the original work. Particularly of relevance as South Africa is a highly multilingual society impacting education and socioeconomic mobility: who was getting published? Whose works were translated? And whose were in the school curricula? -- Deborahjay (talk) 13:49, 4 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
