Delete The article does not assert that the subject or his works achieved notability and none of the references appear to be third-party coverage of the subject. --Non-Dropframetalk05:14, 15 May 2015 (UTC)reply
I did perform
WP:BEFORE and found the links you found. UNSW holds the papers of any local published author who asks them to, including self-published poets. Austlit's inclusion criteria is on their website and includes any poet born in Australia, including self-published poets. The first link is just a summation of library catalog entries, already linked from the article. None of these are evidence of notability. See
WP:Author. --

Wow. I knew the biome was different down under, but I had no idea Australia was as different as all that! Still trying to wrap my old-world mind around the idea of a University library that keeps the papers of any writer who asks. A university-based writer's list that includes "any poet born" in the country. Or a university library that shelves any book anyone gives it. Amazing.oz

Relistedto generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Delete Dove in with more thorough searches. Could not source this self-published person, or his poetry, or the anthologies he has compiled - or discover any indication of notability.
