Smells like a hoax to me. Unless more documentation is provided during this process, delete. --Nlu (talk) 18:35, 13 May 2006 (UTC)
- Additionally, also not notable. --Nlu (talk) 21:00, 13 May 2006 (UTC)
Delete Hoax. I don't see any Truman Scholarship winners named this. Metros232 18:42, 13 May 2006 (UTC)
- Changing to neutral for now. Would love to see some one express some notability about him. Metros232 19:52, 13 May 2006 (UTC)
None of this is a hoax. Jay did win a Truman Scholarship, form an Arrested Development club, and write about the poetry of the Yugoslavian wars. He is also an up and coming American poet. Within a week, we will have more info, documentation, and fact checking. The page is not finished yet. LMark75 19:25, 13 May 2006 (UTC)

- Ah, okay, I was looking under Michigan for him thinking he was awarded it while at U-Michigan. Metros232

Jay absolutely won a Truman fellowship I have just graduated from law school with him - he is absolutely legit!! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 141.213.139.92 (talk • contribs)
- The issue is not completely just whether this was "legit"; the question is whether he is sufficiently notable. He's not, in my opinion, and the unverified part about Arrested Development makes one doubt the rest of the article. --Nlu (talk) 21:06, 13 May 2006 (UTC)
I'll take a break from the mountain of work that needs to be done on the Vampire Chronicles and find out if this is noteworthy. I mean, really, who is monitoring these pages! Lestat is clearly not undertstood by whoever was writting those. In any event, I'll add some stuff to this poet article to calm down. I also feel responsible for the original plug so I'll work on providing the notable info Lohengrin1 20:52, 13 May 2006 (UTC)
