Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Jason Roush
External links consist of subject's own website and faculty profile and four of subject's own works.  Cited sources are a brief article in the ''Berkeley Beacon'' (not to slam the ''BB'', but when half of your basis for satisfying  is a single article in a college newspaper, you've already lost) and an interview in ''Outlook'', dated within one month of each other. This is the entirety of the external material.  The article makes reference to (unquoted!) praise by Eileen Myles and Alfred Corn, and briefly quotes Robert Pinsky and Richard McCann, but none of this is sourced.  (Let me stress that: the subject's own work is externally linked, but material that might show notability is not sourced or even quoted.) The quotes read like back-of-the-jacket blurbs, which gives the article an advertising feel.  It is possible that the subject is notable within one or more limited communities, but I don't think that's sufficiently general notability for Wikipedia's purposes.  If this article can be rebuilt from the ground up by an author without a COI, demonstrating notability, it will be good.  If not, not. But I think Mr. Roush will have to have a bit more of a career before that can be done
