Article on a high school student who has won several minor writing awards but has not been the subject of coverage by even one reliable published source, much less multiple ones. Article clearly does not meet the thresholds of Wikipedia:Verifiability or Wikipedia:Notability (people). Prodded, but Prod tag removed because “author does not appear to have been informed.”[1] — Satori Son 19:36, 18 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete: Not notable enough for Wikipedia. Lots of people have won high school writing awards (including me), but that doesn't make them article-worthy. Creating and subsequent work on this article (in 2009) were the sole contributions of Mcsweeneytodd (talk · contribs), a username which also suggests a possible conflict of interest since one of the contests Lazar won was the "McSweeney's Column Contest." (It might also be that the username incorporates the character Sweeney Todd, but that's not really important to this discussion.) --Sgt. R.K. Blue (talk) 07:09, 19 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. The mere fact that she is 16 does not in itself satisfy WP:AUTHOR, WP:BK. Qworty (talk) 07:53, 22 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
