Insufficient notability. No reference found for award. — ERcheck (talk) 00:14, 2 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Note--I found one of his awards, a 2005 drama PEN. See http://www.pen.org/page.php/prmID/806. Drmies (talk) 01:45, 2 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Unnotable.--brew crewer (yada, yada) 05:14, 2 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Delete for failing WP:CREATIVE. No secondary sources confirming or commenting on his work. I'm not sure how significant PEN awards are, but they are definitely not sufficient to pass necessary notability. His IMDb resume indicates email-ID same as username of creator. This might suggest COI. ^LeaveSleaves _talk 16:34, 2 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Fails WP:CREATIVE. -- Gmatsuda (talk) 08:25, 7 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. According to the link the Award is given by PEN American Center (a notable organization in writing) which indicates the award is signficant. - Mgm|^(talk) 11:39, 7 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. The PEN award is enough to confer notability. Phil Bridger (talk) 18:29, 9 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Is a shared PEN award so significant as to pass the notability based on that singular achievement? This should mean that I can create an article for every first prize winner for every year in every category since the awards have been instated. ^LeaveSleaves 18:37, 9 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

To point out, he hasn't received an award but was a contest winner. The literary award as a matter of fact is significant. Ignore my earlier comment. ^LeaveSleaves 18:41, 9 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
