I also considered starting this article, but concluded that this screenwriter does not meet WP:GNG: there is too little coverage of her as a person, only lots of passing mentions that she wrote this series or the other. Sandstein 15:45, 5 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Unnotable article created by an editor who deems that everything Game of Thrones-related must have an article or strong mention, based on previous "fanboy" reasonings in similar discussions. -- Alex^TW 15:57, 5 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Keep: She does meet WP:GNG, as you can see that their are plenty of coverage of her and not to mention that she has been nominated and won major awards. - AffeL (talk) 15:59, 5 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

She has three sentences under her career, two sections in total, and she won one award. -- Alex^TW 16:04, 5 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

She has won one major award and has been nominated for more, as you can see. More text are being added. The article just got created and is being improved. - AffeL (talk) 16:14, 5 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, my bad. She won one and was nominated for one. A massive change, I'm sure. If you were planning on improving it, you should have done so in the draft namespace. -- Alex^TW 23:47, 5 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

She has won one major award and has been nominated for many others, also she has writen for many popular shows and has recived high coverage from all newsites and other pages. What more does an article need for notability. - AffeL (talk) 08:33, 6 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Only won a Writers Guild of America Award, for sakes. Hyperbolick (talk) 16:26, 5 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - As per WP:ENTERTAINER or WP:CREATIVE it doesn't seem to say that achieving one award automatically gives notability. Could this fall a little bit into the WP:TOSOON category? - Pmedema (talk) 00:22, 6 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

It's not like awards are the only thing that gives notability. As you can see, she has high coverage from The Hollywood Reporter, Variety (magazine), Deadline.com and so on. She has also written for some highly rated shows. How is that not notability? - AffeL (talk) 08:42, 6 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Other than the editor who's opposing it only because the article is related to Game of Thrones, as he does and has done for all such articles, is there opposition to moving it to the draft namespace? -- Alex^TW 09:00, 6 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I oppose to move this to draft, as this is a perfectly fine article, well sourced and everthing. Wikipedia is about getting information. Not hiding information for the users. Also this has nothing to do with Game of Thrones, seeing that you are the only one who has mention that show in this discussion. It is quite clear that you have something against the highest rated show of all time. By opposing everything related to the show. - AffeL (talk) 09:25, 6 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

So, "highest rated show of all time". As I said, fanboy tendancies. -- Alex^TW 09:59, 6 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

No, it's a fact, you can read all about it at: Game of Thrones. - AffeL (talk) 10:06, 6 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Please keep your supporting arguments to facts, if you please, not your personal opinions of the series. Cheers. -- Alex^TW 10:54, 6 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Never said it was a personal opinion. - AffeL (talk) 17:46, 6 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Award and profiles in Fortune show GNG, has a good body of work as well. Megalibrarygirl (talk) 21:26, 6 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Keep I think her work is probably good enough to suggest her notability, and the Writers Guild award cements it. The GoT arguments are almost irrelevant; the show is merely "in development" along with three other series. I think it is highly unlikely that HBO will order all four. It is fine for that information to be included in the article (indeed it should), but I don't think it really makes a difference to her notability at this moment in time (an ordered, or definitely premiered GoT spin-off series is a different matter).

Keep Agree to keep. Well sourced, and Wray is well-known in her profession. JuggrnautTN (talk) 00:42, 9 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
