[edit] Anthony Moreway

Anthony Moreway (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) (delete) – (View log)
Sorrow of Solace (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs)

"Relatively unknown" poet and his poem. No references supplied, and I can find absolutely no trace - Google, Scholar, the British Library catalogue, the Oxford Companion to English Literature... I suspect this is a hoax, but if not, he comprehensively fails Notability (people). Either way, Delete both. Two more poems are threatened, presently red-links; if they appear I will add them to this AfD. JohnCD (talk) 11:35, 26 March 2008 (UTC)

  • Delete both per above Cunard (talk) 17:27, 26 March 2008 (UTC)
  • Comment There is n claim in the article that any of his poems were ever actually published. I am not prepared to say they are hoaxes, but they are clearly not notable. DGG (talk) 17:44, 26 March 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete - The subject of the articles are not notable and there are no sources quotable. I see the only course to be deletion, so lets bring this AFD to completion. Think outside the box 14:43, 27 March 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete Both for failing WP:N ArcAngel (talk) 15:39, 27 March 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete Both per nom. Even if this person existed and the poem was written by him, it was unpublished so both fail the notability guidelines. Paul20070 (talk) 12:24, 30 March 2008 (UTC)
