Not notable. One of several pages created by User:Thaoworra after he listed the contents of a poetry anthology. Nposs 06:41, 24 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I am also nominating the following related pages for the same reason. The user noted above is also a contributor to the book, but I have note listed the book for AfD because it is notable as the first anthology of Hmong American poets. The authors listed below contributed to the volume, but none have gone on to notable literary careers (at least for the time being).

Delete All - Fails WP:BLP across the board, as well as WP:V. -- Kesh 02:49, 25 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Comment Those are stubs. No way to establish if they are notable or not through the information presented here. Surprisingly enough though they are "writers" no books is ever mentioned. User:Dimadick

For most of the articles, it appears that the biographies were simply copied directly from Bamboo Among the Oaks. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Nposs (talk • contribs) 16:37, 26 January 2007 (UTC). Nposs 16:38, 26 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

So, not just non-notable, but copyvios as well. I'd say this one can be Speedy Deleted then. -- Kesh 23:30, 26 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

First comment, it is totally unclear for a newbie to figure out how to post a comment. This comment is to be posted as part of the discussion related to the deletion of several Hmong writers. Granted, I am one of the persons concerned. However, reading the reasons why the articles are being considered worthy of deletion, I have to make the following responses: - re: none have a published book: no writer in Bamboo Among the Oaks has published a book yet; even the most awarded ones, namely Ka Vang or Maineng Moua, are still figuring out how to get published as a single writer with a book deal; - if the above is the criterion, no Hmong writers can be listed on wikipedia: that would be to make invisible the emerging Hmong writing community; - I would caution people as to how they evaluate what is achievement for communities that are so new or so challenged: sure, you all can say we are nothing, but we are the pioneers of Hmong American literature and if not us, there is no one else.— Preceding unsigned comment added by Pacyinz (talk • contribs) 07:00, January 29, 2007
- Please read WP:N and WP:V. In order for an article about a person to survive on Wikipedia, they must be notable and we must be able to verify that notability. Specifically, there are strict rules about biographies of living persons, which these articles do not satisfy. -- Kesh 00:00, 30 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
