Poet. The claim to notability rests on " He was a finalist in the Newcastle Poetry Prize in 2011 and 2012, and won the 2011 Harri Jones Memorial Prize" per Wikipedia:Notability_(people)#Creative_professionals: "The person's work (or works)... has won significant critical attention." But 1) I am not seeing any independent, reliable coverage of that person outside a little bit about this award, nothing seems to be in any major media outlet and 2) while Newcastle Poetry Prize has a Wikipedia article, which claims "Today the Prize is one of the major events of the literary calendar in Australia", that claim is unreferenced, that article has no inline cites, and gets little coverage (through there's at least one mainstream mention: [1]). Still, so far I am having serious doubts whether the Prize is notable, and even if it is, whether it would warrant classification as "significant critical attention" - which in turns puts serious doubts about notability of Mr. Ziguras. Thoughts?. _{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 02:56, 16 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delete He was a finalist not a winner and we don't know how many other finalists. For the Harri Jones Prize, he won in 2011 and the last time anyone won was in 2001. It's very intermittent and doesn't look like a big recognition. The GNG sourcing is not great. Suggest not yet notable. -- Green Cardamom (talk) 17:22, 16 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
