Talk:List of poets

Maveric, I think all of the lists of poets should be named "list of x language poets", since not all the "English poets" were from England, nor were the Germans from Germany, the French from France, and Latin is only a language (if put like this, one would think they're from Central or South America).

Yes it is more specific, but in English the word English has two valid meanings: a person or thing from England, or more common, the English language. There are about a half dozen of these to move but I will change them over to the more specific names if you feel strongly about this. Otherwise I need to go to bed. :) --mav

I know English also means the English language, but there's articles around called List of Spanish language poets and List of Welsh language poets. I think adding the language will be less ambiguous, as somebody might want to make a list of poets from England, or Spain, or France. Anyway, go to bed if you need it (c: Jeronimo

Fair enough. I will make the moves and fix the resulting broken redirects after work 16 hours from now. 'Nite. --mav 00:39 Jul 26, 2002 (PDT)

Just wondering if anyone knows of any poets writing in Greek? I would add a page for it, only the only poet I know of for that category is Cavafy and I think it would look a trifle odd if there were only one person in the list. -- Egoinos
