 * Delete. I can't find anything to establish notability, only a passing mention here — Frankie (talk) 19:08, 20 November 2012 (UTC)
 * An additional comment, I've been looking for information regarding the Tierney Fellowship, and I can see that it might notable, but I'm not sure it is significant enough. Hopefully other editors can provide more insight on this point — Frankie (talk) 19:32, 20 November 2012 (UTC)
 * (The following is addressed more to anyone following up behind Frankie than it is Frankie specifically, to whom I give my thanks for his/her attention and effort) The Tierney Fellowship isn't an award, it's something you can apply for membership in, which provides a cash grant and mentoring services, similar to a scholarship, which itself does not convey notability. The Fellowship program itself may be notable enough to warrant having its own Wikipedia article, however by my reading, I don't see it satisfying "a highly prestigious academic award or honor at a national or international level" (criteria #2 from academic notability), nor any of the other requirements at artist notability, the latter of which has 4 other applicable criteria that I don't find evidence to support having been met by the subject of this article.


 * I know some will disagree with me, but IMNSHO, the wiki doesn't need articles for every artist to receive a commission or minor award, just as it does not need articles for every CEO of every registered company, every member of every band, every person to ever appear on a prime-time TV show, and every student to receive a scholarship. Notability is not inherent, nor is it inherited: just because a video-game I work on is notable, and has received several awards which my effort made possible, it does not mean I warrant my own wiki article, much as though I might wish it otherwise.  b e s i e g e d       talk 22:02, 20 November 2012 (UTC)
