  • delete - It appears that this is an admiration article. Possible condolences to Mazielouisemontgomery because Robert Jeremy Lespi died December 28, 2007 after a lingering fight with multiple health problems. Unfortunately, none of the poems appear to have been published and does not meet WP:N. His funeral is today at Bolton Letlow Chapel with burial to follow in Columbiana City Cemetery [1]--Pmedema (talk) 17:00, 3 January 2008 (UTC)
  • ""do not delete"" - All of his poems have been published, as you can see in the article in his list of publications. Some of them were published online, some in print publications. His poetry chapbook was published by Dicey Books in 2003, and is held at the Library of Congress. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Mazielouisemontgomery (talk • contribs) 17:22, 3 January 2008 (UTC)
    • [2] as a reference to being published is open to free submission of any poem does not meet WP:RS. A single book in the Library of Congress and no other library does not meet WP:N. I don't want to offend or take away from the personal notibility of an individual but this is an Encyclopedia... —Preceding unsigned comment added by Pmedema (talk • contribs) 17:47, 3 January 2008 (UTC)
