Massive love fest for non

bombardment of sources trying to make the subject look more notable than he is. Of the 22 sources half are just links to shops. Of the others only one is an independent reliable source that has any good coverage about Evans or his work, A Kirkus review. Others are by him or not reliable sources or don't mention him. duffbeerforme (talk) 12:50, 28 November 2013 (UTC)[reply

Delete The sources are just shops or the do not mention anything about him. Finealt (talk) 12:54, 28 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Reads like a promo, sources of extremely poor quality, and Wikipedia seems to be the only place he exists. Ithinkicahn (talk) 12:56, 28 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. This article is a bit too promotional for my taste, and I wouldn't be surprised if it were an autobiography. The subject does not seem notable, and my searches uncovered nothing more than trivial mentions or routine stories about book readings and such at local venues.

Delete Best source I could find was Kirkus review which isn't enough. He is probably notable within the the live Spoken Word scene (particularly in the 1990s) but I can't find independent sources that discuss it. --
