It is alleged that the article does not assert the importance of the subject. This is clearly wrong; it notes clearly that he is included in an important and influential anthology.--20.138.246.8910:38, 25 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
It notes that he was included in an anthology. No assertion is made (either in this article or in the anthology's article) that this anthology is particularly more important than any other collection of poetry. The biography does not provide any detail on the author's influence on society, other works, etc. This is a one-line stub. If it can be expanded, great. If not, Wikipedia is better off without such pages. Rossami(talk)15:10, 25 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Im not 100% sure this poet is notable because his name is very common, making searching a bit tedious, but the subject does have publications (and I think there are others based on a quick search in worldcat.org), and the stub quickly leads the reader towards a reason for notability, by way of the anthology that is compiled by a respected critic, curator, etc. If someone does put this up for an Afd, please notify me.
