Non-notable person does not pass WP:BIO. The only source from an established publication (ie, not some unknown indie-zine) focused solely on the subject is the VICE article, which seems to be a transfusion of satirical fiction and immersion journalism. felt_friend 04:12, 13 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete: A young artist early in her career. If she achieves notability, an article can be re-created, but as it stands, she doesn't pass the relevant notability guideline, when one looks at the sources in the article. Soccermom47 (talk) 04:40, 13 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
• Comment: I've added a few sources but I'm so far undecided about her notability. I do think that if Gonzalez is ultimately deemed a non-notable person at this point in time, a copy should be userfied or placed in the draftspace for someone to work on until she gets more coverage. I am seeing where she's getting some mention here and there (for instance, in this article), but the coverage right now is fairly light. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡) 06:51, 13 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Her reaching a point of agreeable notability is definitely possible within the foreseeable future. I feel that for the time being however, the sources provided do not establish notability of any kind. felt_friend 15:30, 13 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

• That's kind of what I'm leaning towards. It's just too light for me to really be comfortable, to be honest. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡) 05:41, 14 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep. Notable poet, intelligent impartial critical reviews of her poetry, references meet GNG. Plus, I read parts of her poems; she is a skilled writer. Also, check out the pageviews averaging 40-50 day, suggesting she is building an audience, probably with young thumb tribe types. True, I have never heard of most of these sources, but the writing in them is intelligent, grammatically coherent, and sharp, suggesting they're authentic. Commentary about her poetry is not one-sided and spammy but critically adept, such as this review, plus this review in Nylon magazine -- note that Nylon (magazine) has a wiki-article. This reviewer here knows poetry sufficiently to use terms like anaphora which I might have thought was a woman's name. Plus Gonzalez is up for a possible poetry award from this magazine. She is getting attention from alt-lit pop culture sources such as this one. Her publisher is a start-up by a guy with new thoughts about publishing. So for me, at least for now, not as light as Tokyogirl thinks, but in my view, deeper, a keeper, notice the rhyme, yes I am such a poet myself.--Tomwsulcer (talk) 02:12, 17 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep. Notable poet, currently in print. http://sorryhouse.com/product/i-will-never-be-beautiful-enough-to-make-us-beautiful-together/ http://www.amazon.com/will-never-beautiful-enough-together/dp/0988839407/ http://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listing/B00HTKFY4Q/ — Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.223.166.170 (talk • contribs)
• Keep. I feel that the coverage is sufficient to show that she is significant enough for us to have an article. --Michig (talk) 07:16, 20 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
