My searches found nothing to suggest better for WP:CREATIVE and WP:GNG, listed award is only one for college and university students so there's no automatic assumed notability and there's nothing else convincing apart from that. SwisterTwister talk 05:32, 19 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to Student Academy Awards#Winners#1990s#19th Annual Student Academy Awards – June 14, 1992. Wikipedia has an article on the Student Academy Awards, and Hixson's award-winning Five Female Persuasions is mentioned there. So a redirect would be more appropriate than deletion I think. It's also worth noting that, while I haven't done an extensive search for coverage of either of Hixson's films, I did happen across this LA Times article from 1993, which actually makes very brief mention of Hixson's other short film, Tennis. There very well may be more articles like this hiding away out there, somewhere, so if anyone wants to look around, then an article could possibly be created for Tennis. --Jpcase (talk) 19:28, 22 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

FYI - I've just noticed that Hixson is mentioned in a couple Washington Post articles that can be found on HighBeam. [1] Unfortunately, my HighBeam account has expired, so I'm not sure how much coverage these articles provide, but I've requested to renew my subscription. Will try to update with more information once I've had a chance to read the articles, unless someone else comes along with a HighBeam account and can fill us in sooner. --Jpcase (talk) 04:39, 23 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, so neither of the articles contain much info. The first [2] simply states that Five Female Persuasions was once screened at the Kennedy Center, as a part of a showcase for local films. That's certainly a high-profile venue, but we'd need a lot more to work with, if we wanted to build an article for either of these shorts. The other article [3] is of a similar nature, stating that the film was also screened at the Willard InterContinental Hotel, as a part of the CINE Golden Eagle Awards. So a redirect will probably still be the best way to go, at least for now. --Jpcase (talk) 05:41, 23 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
