The article fails WP:BIO. Notability is based solely on a "Riptide Peer Poll" being a sufficient award to address the criteria, this is neither a nationally or internationally recognized award and the magazine it is from Riptide (magazine) does not appear notable (the current link is an apparently incorrect re-direct). Raising for discussion rather than PROD as the article has been around since 2005. Fæ (talk) 11:38, 9 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
