Draft:Richard Ekl

Submission declined on 4 May 2024 by HitroMilanese (talk).

This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject (see the guidelines on the notability of people). Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you have not resolved the issues listed above, your draft will be declined again and potentially deleted.
If you need extra help, please ask us a question at the AfC Help Desk or get live help from experienced editors.

Ri Ekl[edit]

Ri Ekl (born May 3, 1983, in Budapest, Hungary) is a Hungarian experimental poet.

Early life and education[edit]

Ekl was born in Budapest to academic parents. He completed his high school education in Budapest and moved to England for his higher studies. Ekl graduated with a specialization in Mathematics for Machine Learning from Imperial College London, focusing on mathematical models and predictive analytics.

Works[edit]

Alongside his technical career, Ekl developed a unique form of poetry that utilizes Microsoft Excel as a platform for artistic expression. In his works, he integrates Excel formulas and functions into the structure of his poems, allowing the numerical data to interact with words to create rhythm and meaning. Ekl’s innovative approach merges the precision of mathematics with the emotive power of poetry, challenging traditional boundaries between disciplines. His poetic works often feature alongside visual elements like graphs and tables, highlighting the thematic connections between the numerical components and the poetic narrative.^[1]

He has published in journals, such as:

Poor Yorick Journal^[2]
Antilag ^[3]
The Quiet Feather^[4]
