Katie Benner

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

No in-depth, independent coverage found per WP:BASIC. Notability apparently hinges on being "part of a team" that received the 2018 Pulitzer Prize for Public Service, which might arguably satisfy WP:ANYBIO or WP:JOURNALIST. However, despite the press release from Benner's alma mater, and Benner's New York Times bio page, I can find no further verification or details warranting an encyclopedia article: her name does not seem to appear in any of the stories listed at http://www.pulitzer.org/winners/new-york-times-reporting-led-jodi-kantor-and-megan-twohey-and-new-yorker-reporting-ronan (although the soft paywall prevented me from fully examining all New York Times articles). While Benner's stories have been cited or mentioned by a variety of sources (relatively unremarkable for any journalist of prominent publications), coverage of Benner herself seems to consist of rather routine mentions in trade websites or unreliable sources (e.g. Adweek, Talking Biz News) largely based on statements from companies, which is non-independent. As Benner has worked for a variety of publications, I see no clear target for a redirect. --Animalparty! (talk) 18:46, 12 June 2018 (UTC)
