Poets without articles[edit]

There's no value to having a list of poets without articles. See WP:LIST for more on the policies behind lists. I'll give some time for people to add articles, but will start to remove the red-linked poets soon. As soon as they have an article, they can be restored to the list.

By language of original work[edit]

This list would be far more valuable were it grouped by the language of the original work. Particularly of relevance as South Africa is a highly multilingual society impacting education and socioeconomic mobility: who was getting published? Whose works were translated? And whose were in the school curricula? -- Deborahjay (talk) 13:49, 4 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
