- Comment. She appears to be an award winning poet and I see published reviews of her books. However I'm not an expert on poetry: perhaps the nominator can expand on their rationale? pburka (talk) 16:10, 11 January 2021 (UTC)
- Two published interviews with her. One poetry award from a publisher (doesn't seem to be a notable/significant award). I don't think this is sufficient evidence of "regarded as an important figure" as per the notability guidelines for a writer. MurielMary (talk) 10:52, 12 January 2021 (UTC)
- Keep per WP:BEFORE and WP:CREATIVE. Searches of Google and social media show that her poems are frequently quoted. There are already three substantial reviews from reliable sources in the article. Bearian (talk) 22:33, 11 January 2021 (UTC)
- What are the three substantial reviews from reliable sources? I count two - one from LA Review of Books and one from U of Arizona Poetry Centre. MurielMary (talk) 10:52, 12 January 2021 (UTC)
