Owen's mum

I get the feeling this article was only created because she's Owen's mum — Preceding unsigned comment added by 119.237.91.245 (talk • contribs) 09:52, 23 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Agreed! In no way is Ruth Aylett a notable figure worthy of a Wiki page. Delete!!!HunterDawn (talk) 15:53, 15 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Given that this article was created in 2004, roughly 7 years earlier than the 2011 publication of Jones' first book and the 2011 creation of the article on Jones, and roughly 14 years earlier than the 2018 date at which the connection to Jones was added to this article, your theories lack credibility. In fact the connection to Jones seems to me the least notable part of this article; I can barely find sources on it at all. —David Eppstein (talk) 04:19, 16 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

5x expanded by David Eppstein (talk). Self-nominated at 07:58, 16 November 2020 (UTC).[reply]

Nice work rescuing this article from proposed deletion. Newness element satisfied by expansion from 582 characters of narrative text approximately 3300 currently. Earwig detects no copyvio/plagiarism issues, and the article is generally well written and properly sourced. The hook is short enough, supported by in-line citation, and interesting -- something weirdly comforting about a robot poet, much better than a robot weapon system.
