Non-academic poet?

I'm wondering exactly what it might mean to describe Tyler as a "non-academic [...] poet".

Looking at the disambiguation page for "Michael Tyler", it looks as if someone saw the previous entry for another Michael Tyler, describing him as "a South Australian academic", and the "non-academic" description for the present Mike Tyler seems to have been inserted to contrast him with the "academic" Michael J. Tyler in the other article.

As such, I'm inclined to remove it, but will wait and see if anyone else comments here.M.J.E. (talk) 04:52, 5 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
