Lack of notability Revirvlkodlaku (talk) 14:12, 27 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Passes WP:SIGCOV/WP:ORG. Primary subject of multiple independent sources with in-depth significant coverage. Including the The New York Times and Los Angeles Times pieces cited in the article. Independent significant coverage of the conference is sustained in Playbill, such as [1], [2] Best.4meter4 (talk) 14:24, 27 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
The Playbill references are trivial mentions (the first in particular), the second is substantial. I also note the lack of inline citations to help us see what is sourced from where. Also not having an online source for the New York Times is also not helping; I can't see what came from there and I can't verify it online. Leaning Delete unless we can find decent sources.

The two articles that are online sources would almost be better used to write about the Robert Egan person than this conference, it's mentioned in passing that he works there. We have multiple trivial mentions, one ok one and a few we can't check to see what they say and how good they are. Oaktree b (talk) 14:49, 27 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Oaktree b: "Also not having an online source for the New York Times is also not helping." Do you not have Wikipedia Library access? Everything that I added without a url came from there. Espresso Addict (talk) 10:27, 28 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Seems to be a significant annual event that has developed important works. The "Further Reading" cites need to be moved inline. I moved over some cites that were in the Fun Home and Other Desert Cities articles about the Pulitzer. I removed some vague, repetitive and peacock terms -- Ssilvers (talk) 17:35, 27 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - meets WP:GNG with fairly significant coverage in papers of record. Vladimir.copic (talk) 03:48, 28 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. There are abundant sources for it avail via Wikipedia Library and on the web; I added a couple to make this clear to the prodder but just tip of the iceberg. Espresso Addict (talk) 10:27, 28 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
