Orangemike created a nomination page, but somehow it was broken, so I decided to delete it and create it anew. His original rationale was as follows:"Non-notable poet; winner of a handful of obscure awards we don't have articles about, some of which I can't even figure out who awards them (the 'coveted Silver Sow Award' syndrome)."I'm neutral.

 * Keep' - Was considered notable last time around (Articles_for_deletion/Carol_Smallwood), and I don't see what ought to make us reconsider. Looks like she passes WP:NAUTHOR to me. Headbomb {t · c · p · b} 10:18, 3 October 2017 (UTC)
 * Keep Its obvious she passes the WP:CREATIVE (WP:NAUTHOR) notability criteria.
 * To The article says: "She won the National Federation of State Poetry Societies Award.[1] Smallwood also was awarded the Franklin-Christoph Poetry Contest Winner title, and the Eric Hoffer Award for Prose" um... the awarding bodies are in the titles? This is incredibly obvious, I can't believe you can't figure that out.  Dysklyver  14:06, 3 October 2017 (UTC)
 * Orangemike, see above comment, which meant to ping you but failed because of a typo. Nyttend (talk) 00:01, 4 October 2017 (UTC)


 * Keep This seems rather a suitable article to me about someone whose achievements are well worthy of consideration. In terms of reviews of her work WP:AUTHOR seems to have been met so I won't worry my little head about awards. Thincat (talk) 14:49, 3 October 2017 (UTC)

 * Keep Passes NAUTHOR. Plenty of critical reception for her work. Megalibrarygirl (talk) 17:49, 3 October 2017 (UTC)
 * Keep Seems to pass WP:NAUTHOR notability since she has well-known work. Mvocab (talk) 23:40, 3 October 2017 (UTC)
 * Keep Same reason as the past AfD. She meets notability, easy as that. S EMMENDINGER  ( talk ) 00:19, 4 October 2017 (UTC)
 * Look at the substance. The reviews are obscure and often by people she works with, the awards even more so. I honestly don't see the notability. -- Orange Mike &#124;  Talk  01:53, 4 October 2017 (UTC)
