I can't find any evidence at all that this person meets the notability guideline for authors. I can't find any significant coverage of their work anywhere and this old archived version of their homepage really isn't promising. The article was created by Lui Pensini, a single-purpose account, and also edited by (ahem) a user called UNORTHODOX AUSTRALIAN POET. Graham87 (talk) 18:29, 4 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment - a very curious reference suggests that published items identified did exist - : https://www.soundclick.com/member/default.cfm?memberID=5209011&content=photos
  However, the titles seen in that reference, and the three names possible to check, do not show up in Trove, or the state library of western australia catalogue, which suggests that the publications were not legally deposited at the time of publication or after, if the photo is showing legitimate evidence of publication. Initial check was that this was a hoax article that has evaded checking for 15 years.JarrahTree 05:26, 5 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
