ACUI poetry slam event

I reverted the recently made edit on the subject of Smith's appearance at the ACUI poetry slam on April 16th, as its description of his poetry as "racist, mysogonist [sic], and overall head-scratchingly bad" violates neutral point of view and I can't find any journalism on the event to confirm what happened. - 742mph (talk) 17:27, 16 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Similarly reverting the more recent edit, for similar reasons. The source of Marc Smith's home page does not provide direct support for the literary interpretations made by the editor (original research) or the very creative use of ellipses to manufacture very distinct-from-the-work quotations, nor for the claim that he embraced the nickname of "Old White Guy Whitey," the title of one of the poems on that page. The remainder of the new content is based on non-RS (personal Facebook posts and Twitter posts from various persons). Batchybatch (talk) 01:10, 17 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
