Dubious sources and a Beachie Award does not appear to  be a major literary  prize. An upcoming poet who  has yet  to  reach Wikipedia criteria for BLP notability. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 13:26, 17 July 2014 (UTC)


 * Keep: BuzzFeed is a valuable information source about modern culture and should not be considered dubious. The Beachie Award is a yearly award presented by Beach Sloth. Beach Sloth is mentioned on the Alternative literature article (and other notable external articles about Alt Lit ) and therefore is a notable source on this topic. Sian S. Rathore's ebooks have been referenced in UK Newspaper The Guardian. Manc1234 (talk) 14:23, 17 July 2014 (UTC)

 * Delete. A trivial mention in The Guardian is not enough.  We need significant coverage, like a full-length review or career retrospective.  Blogs don't help much, either. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 15:37, 17 July 2014 (UTC)
 * Rathore received full-length reviews of Softcore Cloudstep (2013) in literary magazine 3:AM Magazine, as well as Sabotage Reviews and Look How Prodigal. Manc1234 (talk) 11:48, 18 July 2014 (UTC)


 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

 * Delete. I think NinjaRobotPirate summarized it correctly. Rathore may very well be up and coming -- but hasn't yet arrived. This is reflected in the lack of coverage in major publications.   --Larry (talk) 03:24, 25 July 2014 (UTC)
 * Delete – Agreed with NinjaRobotPirate, not enough coverage as of yet. United States Man (talk) 04:33, 25 July 2014 (UTC)
 * Weak delete. Wikipedia articles require significant coverage in multiple reliable sources. Sabotage can't be a reliable source because it invites contributions from the public; Look How Prodigal also falls short because (as far as I can tell at least) it's just someone's Tumblr. The Guardian obviously is reliable, but the single sentence of coverage isn't significant, and Buzzfeed might be both but the link doesn't work. I'd be happy to accept the 3:AM Magazine piece as reliable and significant, but we need multiple sources – one isn't enough. As others above have alluded to, it looks like Rathore might well be notable in time, but right now there hasn't been enough written about her to support an encyclopaedia article – this predicament is described at Too soon. – Arms &amp; Hearts (talk) 17:22, 27 July 2014 (UTC)
