Unsourced for nine years.
Unable to find reliable, secondary sources which provide in-depth coverage of this poet in order to evidence notability under WP:BASIC. Additional sources welcome, as always. j⚛e deckertalk 03:16, 3 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

- Delete: I haven't located anything on the Jim Dunlap of this longstanding unreferenced WP:BLP either. Despite the directory listings that are claimed, even if these were verified they would not be sufficient for WP:CREATIVE. AllyD (talk) 18:37, 3 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

- Delete While he seems to have a good claim to notability in the lead sentence of his article, none of the sources can be considered reliable sources. See comment at Wikipedia:Reliable sources/Noticeboard#Boston Poetry Magazine regarding what might have been the best of the touted sources. He has no awards and I was unable to verify the statement about top ranking in Writer's Digest magazine. For example he is not mentioned on their website. --Bejnar (talk) 23:01, 29 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
