Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/GrOnk
I am the article creator so I will not !Vote '''Keep''' (I have been advised that it is acceptable for me to !vote) - grOnk is of historical importance in the history of Canadian literature, especially avant-garde literature - the magazine is archived at the MacOdrum Library at Carleton University and they provide a history of the magazine https://arc.library.carleton.ca/exhibits/bpnichol-we-are-words-and-our-meanings-change/ganglia-gronk here. The MacOdrum Library writeup cites "Geoff Hancock, ''The Form of the Thing: An Interview with bpNichol on Ganglia and grOnk." Rampike, 12.1 (Fall 2001), 33'' as a source (not available online - Rampike is published by the University of Windsor) - grOnk has passing mentions in https://books.google.ca/books?id=HxmGDwAAQBAJ&pg=PT104&lpg=PT104&dq=gronk+nichol&source=bl&ots=JPo75HZweG&sig=ACfU3U39sT4Xg8BqWRMEfVeDJXL4QZMGMw&hl=en&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwjhx5WH7JvkAhWcJzQIHXO8BNgQ6AEwD3oECAgQAQ#v=onepage&q=gronk%20nichol&f=false ''Avant Canada: Poets, Prophets, Revolutionaries'', edited by Gregory Betts & Christian Bök (eds), note 21, Wilfrid Laurier University Press, 2019; https://books.google.ca/books?id=nGfMAgAAQBAJ&pg=PA1100&lpg=PA1100&dq=gronk+nichol&source=bl&ots=JjNA2WtP7h&sig=ACfU3U1CXI3lqs9ksak_NaHYrkZ0Q7EL6g&hl=en&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwjhx5WH7JvkAhWcJzQIHXO8BNgQ6AEwEHoECAkQAQ#v=onepage&q=gronk%20nichol&f=false ''Encyclopedia of Post-Colonial Literatures in English'' by Eugene Benson & L.W. Conolly (eds) Routledge, 2005, p. 1100 and https://books.google.ca/books?id=rYuBAAAAQBAJ&pg=PT184&lpg=PT184&dq=gronk+nichol&source=bl&ots=DibDzMmK4s&sig=ACfU3U1-WKiqMSjZtrR3o6tWdJt1P7E2qw&hl=en&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwjhx5WH7JvkAhWcJzQIHXO8BNgQ6AEwEnoECAcQAQ#v=onepage&q=gronk%20nichol&f=false ''Poetic Community: Avant-Garde activism and Cold War Culture'' by Stephen Voyce, np., University of Toronto Press, Scholarly Publishing Division, 2013. The fact that grOnk is still gaining mention in books are recent as 2019 shows that the magazine has "attracted attention over a sufficiently significant period of time" () - the magazine was international, as Voyce notes, "GrOnk brought together British, Czech, American, Canadian, French and Austrian concrete and experimental practioners…" - it has "served some sort of historic purpose or have a significant history" per Wikipedia:Notability (media)#Newspapers, magazines and journals|Wikipedia:Notability (media) and, within the Canadian literary community, has had a "significant...effects on culture, society...history, literature...education." () - the magazine was edited by bpNichol who won the Governor General's Award, Canada's highest literary award - notability cannot be inherited from association with bpNichol, but I bring it up to show that grOnk wasn't just a bunch of guys in the basement with a mimeograph machine, but involved major Canadian literary figures - sorry to go on at such length, but I truly believe this is an important article for anyone interested in the history of Canadian literature (and not just because I am the creator!) - thanks for listening
