It sounds like being the founder of the poet slam *might* make her notable but I can't find anything to connect her with the event, reliable source or not, and otherwise she seems to be just another poet. There's only 10 ghits in any language for her given name, all appear to be Wiki mirrors and other copies. TRAVELLINGCARIMy storyTell me yours 03:08, 2 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- ETA Creator was User:Qrc2006, now blocked as one of many socks of Icamepica, who is, in turn, a BoomGayLove sock. TRAVELLINGCARIMy storyTell me yours 03:11, 2 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Forgive my ignorance, but what does ETA mean in this context? Ten Pound Hammer and his otters • (Broken clamshells•Otter chirps) 03:15, 2 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

- Yeah, I didn't know that either. Most people just use Comment. :P Celarnor Talk to me 03:45, 2 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete. She seems to be included in some 'list of poets in the US' websites, but most of the 133 ghits are Wikipedia mirrors. No news, books, or scholar hits, either. Celarnor Talk to me 03:45, 2 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete, not a very notable poet given lack of reeliable sources. Slight connection with one particular poetry slam event (not the inventor of the poetry slam itself) isn't a great claim to notability. --Dhartung | Talk 08:22, 2 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Keep this article has been around for 2 years, maybe I have been to harsh on other articles. Can somebody look for articles? Living in the Bay Area I have heard about her.NewAtThis (talk) 11:44, 2 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Please read the nomination, a search has been done and there don't appear to be any articles. Why don't you look if you're familiar with her work? TRAVELLINGCARIMy storyTell me yours 14:08, 2 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- The above "keep" opinion is from one of the likely sockpuppets of the article creator. I googled this name several months ago and there were no google hits to speak of - most placements on list of poets probably come from there being a Wikipedia article, not vice-versa.

- Speedy Delete per Wikipedia:Requests for checkuser/Case/NewAtThis. Author and sole "keep" are one and the same. DarkAudit (talk) 23:25, 2 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Was not made in violation of ban, since user was banned well after this article was created (article created in '06, user banned in '08). I've removed the tag. --lifebaka (Talk - Contribs) 22:40, 3 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete Can find no sources for subject or the supposed "International Women's Day Poetry Slam" which she is alleged to have co-founded. - Dravecky (talk) 06:42, 3 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
