Deletion of David Kleist

Comment: this article does not meet |verifiability policy, nor does it meet teh |biographical notability guidelines.  Even if the nom is "the imbecile who failed to see David Kleist's genius", Wikipedia isn't meant to be on the cutting edge of notability... as an encyclopedia it is meant to take notice only after other published sources have

Comment: Now now. Let's not get too carried away. I think it's important to point out that no, the http://www.whoswho-teachers.com/1whoweare/beinghonored.aspx Who's Who Among America's Teachers is not a reliable independent third-party source. For one thing it's not clear what criteria they use and they mostly try and evaluate an individual's qualities as a teacher, not as a poet. Now I may be a petty demagogue and an imbecile but I sure know |vanity when I see it. Let me remind you again that |Wikipedia is not a soapbox and it should strike you as odd that in the month and a half that your article stood no one (besides yourself) has cared to edit it except to tag it as inappropriate. As hard a landing as this might be, we the petty demagogues of Wikipedia feel that you fail to reach the threshold of importance which would justify the effort of maintaining this article in the future
