Keep: There are a stack of awards, all cited, an English-language newspaper article in the Deccan Chronicle and more in non-English sources. Furius (talk) 11:08, 31 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Keep: Verified all citation link. All are relevant and no link to wiki sites. Refer external link provided for more details. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Rajeshb n (talk • contribs) 05:02, 1 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Delete unless someone can actually present sources here (right at this discussion) that helps pass WP:Creative. There is an NPOV alert when you read prestigious awards. Awards list (as long as it might be) doesn't grant notability. There is a YUVA PURASKAR from Sahitya Akadmi which is the only relevant award from my perspective here. Unless proper reception of work is not found and we will remain stuck with sources that say such and such award was given, my stand remains with Delete.

Comment. According to WP:ANYBIO, awards do, in fact, grant notability, but only if they're "well-known and significant." Are any of her awards well-known and significant? None of them link to Wikipedia articles about the award, which isn't encouraging. pburka (talk) 21:57, 1 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

There's an article on the Yuva Puraskar and the Geetha Hiranyan award is mentioned on Geetha Hiranyan and is awarded by the Kerala Sahitya Akademi, the O. V. Vijayan Sahitya Puraskaram also has a page. Furius (talk) 02:37, 2 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Lopa's profile is covered in many wiki sites. Apart from India Government's Kendra Sahithya Academy award, she has also won Geetha Hiranmayi Award sponsored by Kerala Sahithya Academy by Govt. of Kerala. [1],[2], [3], [4]. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Rajeshb n (talk • contribs)

Wiki pages don't prove notability, so aren't really relevant here Furius (talk) 19:01, 2 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Keep: Citations are valid. Lopa is a well known writer and a translator in Kerala. She has won awards from Kendra Sahitya Academey and Kerala. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ishawish (talk • contribs) 17:53, 3 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - A large number of reliable sources show notability, as do multiple awards, including at least one academic award, per links added above by another editor. The subject easily meets WP:GNG and passes WP:BIO. -AuthorAuthor (talk) 19:47, 4 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Relisting comment: Discarding a number of non-policy-oriented !votes above, no consensus currently exists, but I believe there to be potential to form one with another seven days. Relisting.
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Daniel (talk) 19:48, 6 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Keep per ANYBIO, her awards and the explanation of their significance by Furius. In my opinion, all the arguments to keep have been policy-oriented, except perhaps Rajesh's; unsure what !votes the relister was referring to. pburka (talk) 20:13, 6 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Keep: Per Anybio. A notable poet. Pillechan (പിള്ളേച്ചനോട് പറ) 16:00, 12 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
