[edit] Notability ok but article needs some substance

His book on the origins of free verse is referred to in the footnotes of that article (I think it was I who included it). I think this article is sufficiently justified on notability grounds — I own the book and might want to find out something about its author, other than what it says on the cover. That's not to say that this article couldn't do with a lot of fleshing out!! Stumps 04:03, 11 May 2007 (UTC)

• I don't agree. By the notability criteria for biographies, independent reliable sources are required to make sure that the subject is notable. That is, we need sources writing about this poet, not sources written by the poet. These sources might be, for example, an independent biography of K.-S., or reviews of his work in the literature. Such sources should be cited in the article in order to establish notability. I'm changing the warning tags accordingly. Sorted as part of the Notability wikiproject. --B.

[edit] Correct name = ?

The usual format I believe would be to start the article with his full name. What does the H stand for?? Stumps 04:05, 11 May 2007 (UTC)
