WP:BLP of a writer with no strong claim to passing WP:AUTHOR, and no reliable source coverage to get her over WP:GNG. The strongest notability claim here is her winning of a minor literary award which isn't notable enough to make its winners notable just for winning it, and except for two reviews of her work in a non-notable publication, the referencing is otherwise entirely to primary sources which cannot support notability. As always, a writer is not automatically entitled to have a Wikipedia article just because her staff or member profiles on the websites of directly-affiliated organizations verify that she exists -- she has to be the subject of reliable source coverage in media to earn one.

 * Delete as per nom. My sweeps of Canadian news found a few listings of poetry events but not the in-depth coverage which is needed.--Tomwsulcer (talk) 23:13, 15 March 2016 (UTC)
 * Weak keep I found more info in some sources that were below the references. I also checked the award and her position at Banff. Both are significant in the area of spoken word (admittedly a very small area!). Her works are mainly self-published, which is a negative, but spoken word is generally live, not published, so I can't ding her too much on that. It's a performance art, and she seems to have reached a high position in that art in Canada. LaMona (talk) 03:06, 17 March 2016 (UTC)
 * Comment, are there newspaper articles out there reviewing her live performances, surely even a number of local sources might count towards notability? Coolabahapple (talk) 07:35, 18 March 2016 (UTC)
 * Yes please add sources if you can find them, and they can be reviewed.--Tomwsulcer (talk) 08:56, 18 March 2016 (UTC)


 * Delete as this is still questionable for WP:CREATIVE. SwisterTwister   talk  06:44, 21 March 2016 (UTC)
