Vincent Toro[edit]
- ... that in 2015 Vincent Toro won the Sawtooth Poetry Prize and in 2017 he received The Poetry Society of America’s Norma Farber First Book Award for his book "Stereo.Island.Mosaic"?
Created by Audreyspell (talk). Self-nominated at 19:47, 24 October 2018 (UTC).
The subject appears to be notable as the winner of an important poetry award, the Norma Farber First Book Award. (The Sawtooth Poetry Prize is not notable and should not be mentioned in the hook.) However, the sourcing in the article is mostly based on user-generated content (pw.org and kwelijournal.org) and there is no detail on his personal life or his notability, aside from what the page creator is writing in a promotional tone. At this time, the article does not meet Rule D7 IMO. The hook is also not the most interesting ("Did you know that X won the Y award?"). Image is freely licensed. No QPQ needed for nominator with less than 5 DYK credits. Yoninah (talk) 21:11, 11 November 2018 (UTC)
- @Audreyspell: any updates on the article? VincentLUFan (talk) (Kenton!) 13:16, 14 December 2018 (UTC)
- Audreyspell has not edited on Wikipedia since November 14. Meanwhile, another user has added more biographical information from a poetry program page. The article is still overly reliant on user-generated content and information provided by the subject or his agent. I have tagged the article for lack of reliable sourcing.
