PROD declined back in May and I'm finally getting around to coming back to it.

Original PROD reason: utterly promotional, heavily worked on by unrestrained COI/autobio account. Random non-notable industry awards do not confer encyclopedic notability. One source found, and it's an interview, which are commonly held to be less indicative of notability. With nothing else to support it, we cannot retain this article.

With regards to the industry awards, I'll quote from the article's talk page, responding to 's PROD removal: While the organizations that have given Dyakova awards are notable, the awards themselves are not particularly notable. Since the awards are not notable, they do not indicate notability in the same way that receiving a notable award does.

I double checked and still didn't find any reliable non-interview sources, including Google, GBooks, GNews, Questia, T&F, JSTOR, and Newspapers.com. &spades;PMC&spades; (talk) 23:46, 27 June 2019 (UTC)

 * Delete a search does not provide the SIGVOV necessary for any form of notability. The awards are industry type awards. What the article basically says is that she is a successful graphic designer who has worked for several notable firms and received industry awards for that work-- like thousands of other graphic designers. There is scant evidence of independent SIGCOV recognition for her work.ThatMontrealIP (talk) 02:47, 28 June 2019 (UTC)


 * Comment I have access to EBSCOhost via the Wikipedia Library, but I can't get the link in the references to work. Vexations (talk) 11:17, 28 June 2019 (UTC)
 * I was able to access it through my log in at my library. It just mentions her in a credit for an image. Megalibrarygirl (talk) 22:59, 2 July 2019 (UTC)


 * Delete. Checked for sources again after commenting on the talk page about the PROD removal, and feel they still stand. Her work is very nice and she appears successful, but there's nothing to indicate she's a notable graphic designer. 9H48F (talk) 14:29, 1 July 2019 (UTC)
