This poet does not appear to meet either WP:CREATIVE or WP:GNG. He has one self-published book and hosts a local radio show. I searched the Albuquerque Journal archives and found a few passing mentions in stories about the local slam scene (where he appears to be merely one participant among many) and a brief book-signing announcement. There is also a longer story about his non-ownership of a car, but this does not show any notability as a poet or otherwise per WP:MILL. No mentions at all outside of local media as far as I can tell. Camerafiend (talk) 20:38, 26 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
