WP:BLP of a writer with no strong claim to passing WP:CREATIVE. The strongest claim of notability here is having won a literary award that isn't notable enough to make its winners encyclopedically notable just for winning it, and the only source in the entire article is the presence of her name in a list of the award winners on the award's own website (thus a WP:PRIMARYSOURCE.) A writer needs to be the subject of media coverage in reliable sources to qualify for a Wikipedia article, and does not get an automatic inclusion freebie just because she exists or because she won a non-notable minor award -- but on a Google search, I've found only one source that would count for anything toward getting her over WP:GNG, and one source isn't enough to pass GNG by itself. Delete, without prejudice against recreation in the future if and when her sourceability improves. Bearcat (talk) 18:46, 14 February 2016 (UTC)

 * delete, and await the nest bookfrom this very early career writer. My searches found nothing beyond what is already on the page, to me she seems to still be on the WP:TOOSOON side of notability.E.M.Gregory (talk) 20:26, 23 February 2016 (UTC)
