This is a collection of discussions on the deletion of articles related to Poetry. It is one of many deletion lists coordinated by WikiProject Deletion sorting. Anyone can help maintain the list on this page.

Adding a new AfD discussion

Adding an AfD to this page does not add it to the main page at WP:AFD. Similarly, removing an AfD from this page does not remove it from the main page at WP:AFD. If you want to nominate an article for deletion, go through the process on that page before adding it to this page. To add a discussion to this page, follow these steps:

1. and add {{Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/PageName}} to the top of the list. Replace "PageName" with the relevant article name, i.e. the one on the existing AFD discussion. Also, indicate the title of the article in the edit summary as it is particularly helpful to add a link to the article in the edit summary. When you save the page, the discussion will automatically appear.
2. You should also tag the AfD by adding {{subst:delsort|Poetry|~~~~}} to it, which will inform editors that it has been listed here. You may place this tag above or below the nomination statement or at the end of the discussion thread.

There are a few scripts and tools that can make this easier.

Removing a closed AfD discussion

Closed AfD discussions are automatically removed by a bot.

Other types of discussions

You can also add and remove other discussions (prod, CfD, TfD etc.) related to Poetry. For the other XfD's, the process is the same as AfD (except {{Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/PageName}} is used for MFD and {{transclude xfd}} for the rest). For PRODs, adding a link with {{prodded}} will suffice.

Further information

For further information see Wikipedia's deletion policy and WP:AfD for general information about Articles for Deletion, including a list of article deletions sorted by day of nomination.

Basically unsourced since 2006. Insufficient independent in-depth sources to establish notability. Mentions found on the internet all look self-sourced. 'D.M. poet honored in national competition' article shows he came 17th in a contest. Went to AfD in 2014, sources found were not reliable. Blackballnz (talk) 06:41, 28 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

PROD by Jfire with the rationale "Non-notable poem. No evidence of significant reliable source coverage." contested. I think it still holds true.

Reason why we are here is altogether 7 articles made back to back in row about this person and his books. None of the books are notable and most of them are either nepali/ english or english/ nepali translation. Author is hardly known in Nepalese context, though he has some media coverage. The context is indicating that articles are being created for promotional purpose. My speedy deleteion tag was declined and suggested to go for AFd. Here are the other articles created Swapnabhumi (Nepali novel) , mirty diary, Sex desire and Taboo, Sex, Gender and Disability in Nepal, Mochan, Running from the Dreamland Tulsi Acharya.

• Comment - There is also a draft, Draft:Tulasi Acharya. If this article is kept, the draft should be redirected to the article. If the article is deleted, the draft should be kept. Robert McClenon (talk) 05:00, 26 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
• Commment. I see little sign of the kind of academic impact that we're looking for in WP:NPROF, in particular, the articles of the subject do not appear to be highly cited. WP:NAUTHOR is still somewhat plausible. Most of the links provided by the IP editor above are not reviews, OTOH, but articles by the subject here, which do not contribute to notability. Russ Woodroofe (talk) 12:04, 26 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
• Note: As the admin who declined the earlier speedy deletion request mentioned in the nomination statement, don't take my decline as any kind of endorsement. My decline was based purely on the article not meeting the (intentionally very restrictive) WP:G11 criteria; it doesn't change the fact that this particular walled garden of articles constitutes some of the most blatant COI promotion I've seen on Wikipedia for a long time. ‑ Iridescent 17:34, 26 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  Here is a good discussion. The only reason why I provided with so many references was because I was suggested by one of the editors here in the community. They suggested I should support each and every statement. I found all those sources/resources from the author's website: www.tulasiacharya.com. I think it is good to keep or delete depending on the reliability of the sources. Traillek (talk) 18:45, 26 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  you are absolutely right. You have left on me to decide for Afd. Perhaps I didn’t write it clearly. Rahmatula786 (talk) 15:58, 27 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I have participated Dr. Tulasi Acharya's webinars and read many books written by him. Dr. Acharya meets Wikipedia's notability guidelines for authors. His works have received significant coverage in reliable, independent sources. His academic book, "Sex, Desire, and Taboo in South Asia," was critically reviewed in "South Asia Research". His novel "Running from the Dreamland" has been reviewed by Publishers Weekly's BookLife, underscoring its relevance in South Asian immigrant narratives. Additionally, his Nepali-language novel "Mochan" has been positively received in literary circles. These instances of independent coverage affirm his notability as an author.

In addition to this, he is also leading Nexus Institute of Research and Innovation, helping communities from the charity of selling his books. His works and literary contribution have been featured in multiple media outlets, including interviews and discussions that provide independent perspectives on his impact in literature and academia. I think it will be a great contribution to add this author to Wikipedia articles for community to know the notable person. I find this discussion very irrelevant. Therefore, the deletion of his page from Wikipedia is unnecessary.

• Weak keep Some coverage: International Journal of Indology paper on the poem, several paragraphs in this paper, an article in "Notions, a peer reviewed journal of English literature", which does not inspire much confidence but does at least claim to be an academic source. It's discussed briefly in this paper in the Journal of South Asian Literature, this book on South Asian Poetry. Obituary by The Hindu, describing the poet as "known for Indian Summer" (as do many other obits) and a blog describing it as "widely anthologized", another as a classic of Indian literature. I strongly suspect the existence of better sources given how the sources I do find seem to treat it as a classic (and a feature of school curriculums). Some of the sources I've linked seem to be somewhat suspicious journals, I haven't carefully evaluated them. May take a stab at improving the article in a bit.

• Keep. The article passes WP:GNG and WP:ANYBIO. Addition; many of the refs are from what can be considered reliable outlets. The intial version would fall under WP: INHERITED due to her close ties with notable people but I neutralised to this current version.-ANU^writes 15:36, 12 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. I second what ANU^writes said, it follows both WP:GNG and WP:ANYBIO. The citations seem to be reliable, albeit they are all in Polish. However, language is not something to delete an article for. -Emily (PhoenixCaelestis) (talk) 12:56, 14 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• Weak Delete the sources in the article are formatted as interviews and provide very little independent coverage. No reviews of her work are cited in the article and I couldn't find any in a quick google search, but I have very limited ability to read Polish. Eluchil404 (talk) 23:11, 16 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  there is a lot more about her work on google, one I found this:

  https://ksiaznicapodlaska.pl/site/epea/E11/Mi%C5%82osz-Piekarska.pdf

  There are also reviews of her poetry in polish monthly literary journals, but they do not seem to appear on google SenWariata (talk) 03:44, 18 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• Weal delete. The sources are poor; at best we have a few short interviews with her, nothing substantial. Her work did not win any awards and the little attention she is getting is all framed through the fact that she is a relative of a Noble Prize winner. She also has no pl wiki interwiki (and pl wiki is pretty inclusionist). I feel this falls on the WP:TOOSOON side of the borderline. --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 13:26, 17 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep The article passes WP:GNG and WP:ANYBIO. references are from respected and reliable sources. The fact that she is a close relative of a Noble Proze winner, which creates an additional interest in her writing does not take away the fact that she is recognized and highly regarded for her own work. — Preceding unsigned comment added by SenWariata (talk • contribs) 02:58, 18 February 2025 (UTC) — SenWariata (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.

  "The fact that she is a close relative of a Noble Proze winner" is WP:NOTINHERITED. LibStar (talk) 05:33, 19 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete WP:NOTINHERITED, the provided sources being mainly interviews are not enough to meet WP:BIO or WP:AUTHOR. LibStar (talk) 05:36, 19 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  Hi, There are interviews about her work, as well as meetings with the audience. It's unavoidable that being a niece of Nobel Prize winner she gets asks a lot of questions about her uncle and family in general. Her writing touches on the subjects of diaspora and living away from her home country, so often her readers ask about members of her family, who also were dispersed to different parts of the world due to wars and political upheavals. There are reviews of her work in literary magazines, but unfortunately these are not accessible on goggle. Found one: https://ksiaznicapodlaska.pl/site/epea/E11/Mi%C5%82osz-Piekarska.pdf SenWariata (talk) 06:38, 19 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  @LibStar Actually, interviews can establish notability for WP:BIO, all depending on what the sources are, how many, the style and how reliable those sources are. Can you roughly see Wikipedia:Interviews#Notability? We got the whole article there on how, which and when to use interviews to establish notability. i.e A multitude of interviews with a breadth of styles shows a wide range of attention being given to the subject and can be considered as evidence of notability. ANU^writes 10:58, 19 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  The interviews , as well as recorded meetings with her readers are about her work ( even if they do include mentions of Czeslaw Milosz, her uncle and other members of her family ) and are all from respected and reliable outlets. Her books are published in Poland by main stream, respected publishers. SenWariata (talk) 11:33, 19 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  Roger that, thank you. I am simply concerned that, as the references are all in Polish they may be somewhat dismissed or overlooked by the voters. There is a lot more about her in Poland, that can confirm her "notability" in addition to what is currently listed in the references: such as a discussion about her book recorded in 2022 by the TVP ( polish TV channel) https://vod.tvp.pl/video/informacje-kulturalne,13072022,60913442 ( starts at 3.43min ). or another review of one of her books https://dorzeczy.pl/kultura/325270/maslon-zapomniana-melodia.html?_gl=1*1uidapo*_ga*MTE4Njg1NjI5MC4xNzQwNjIwMTU4*_ga_WYDND0VST0*MTc0MDYyMDE1OC4xLjEuMTc0MDYyMDU3Ni42MC4wLjA. . or another review in https://ksiaznicapodlaska.pl/pl/epea/rozmowa-kamila-pilichiewicza-z-joanna-milosz-piekarska.html I am not very well versed in navigating the Wikipedia's methods of acceptance of biographies so please accept my apologies if I am fumbling here.
