With all respect, this poet has only local coverage (I could not find anything else despite investing some time in the search), and it does not look like she ever published in major magazines / mewspapers. Let us discuss whether being a poet-laureate of Fairfield is suffficent claim for notability. Ymblanter (talk) 09:12, 1 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I vote to keep. Being the first poet laureate of a city is an honor which makes a person notable. This poet has far more offline publications and accolades than are currently listed in the article. Perusal of the poet’s website would provide proof. http://www.jmartinpoetwriter.com/files/114202442.pdf Kiddo27 (talk) 16:56, 1 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

delete Poet Laureate of a city is already a dubious distinction, but seeing as how Fairfield, California is a smallish place as cities go I would expect significant non-local coverage of this, which there isn't. Mangoe (talk) 00:34, 2 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Delete I wasn't able to find significant coverage to meet WP:NPOET. Although a few of the names on List of municipal poets laureate in California are otherwise Wikipedia-notable, just being on that list isn't. (Sidebar: interesting article published last week on the city-level poets laureate trend.) Schazjmd (talk) 00:50, 2 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
