Request for assessment: Night, a Poem in Four Books

Hello, I’ve expanded the article Night, a Poem in Four Books with additional sourcing, context, and citations, and I believe the article now meets the criteria for B-class and would appreciate a reassessment. Could a project member review the article and update its quality rating accordingly? Trinsics (talk) 14:43, 12 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The article doesn't seem to exist, as it is marked in red. I would be interested in assessing the appropriate article you put forth. Thanks. DannyRogers800 (talk) 10:50, 4 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Request for Article Creation: Bo Ellis (Poet & Veteran)

Hello, I am reaching out to the volunteer community to request assistance in creating a biographical article for Bo Ellis (also known as Bo "MF" Ellis). I am the subject of this request and am providing the following "Evidence Bundle" of independent, third-party sources to establish notability under Wikipedia's guidelines for Authors and Performers. Biographical Summary: Bo Ellis is a Pontiac, Michigan native and a U.S. Army Combat War Veteran who served in the Army from (1994–2004). He is a prominent figure in the Atlanta spoken word scene, recognized as the Underground Grammy Poet of the Year. Key Notability Milestones: National Television: Featured residency poet on the Black Family Channel series Spoken (2006–2008). BET Selection: One of three poets selected from Atlanta for the 2005 season of BET’s Lyrical Cafe, alongside Georgia Me and Jon Goode. Commercial Success: Embarked on a multi-city solo headlining tour in 2009 with sold-out shows in Chicago, Detroit, Atlanta, Miami, and Houston. Major Collaborations: Long-time member of The Punany Poets (featured on HBO and Playboy) and a frequent headliner for Joyce Littel’s "Passion and Poetry" on V-103 Atlanta. Published Works: Author of 6+ verified titles on Amazon, including Cunnilingus, 'Bo' Ography, and My Black is Beautiful... NOT. Verification Sources: Amazon Author Page: IMDb Profile: SongCast/Industry Profile: Creative Loafing Archives: Mentions in "Best of Atlanta" (2004-2008). I understand the Conflict of Interest (COI) policies and am therefore seeking a neutral volunteer to review these facts and determine if a page is warranted. I am happy to provide further documentation (production notes, military records) to any editor interested in taking on this project. Thank you for your time and for your work on the encyclopedia.Boellis99 (talk) 05:39, 29 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]
