• KEEP. Notable playwrights and poets from marginalized populations are often young. She is prolific and award winning. Lambda awards are highly competitive and sought after by ambitious creative Queer writers in all genres, regardless of age or educational status. I believe that Christina Quintana has a solid professional future ahead of her, and as Wikipedia articles are continually updated, I believe we will have more to write about this writer as she progresses in her career.

  • • Comment While I also lean towards keep as the ${\displaystyle \Lambda }$ awards notable enough under wp:creative, I'm curious why you feel that a writer's potential professional future is relevant to the article's notability?

• Keep. I am very disappointed that administrator DGG has falsely denigrated Christina Quintana's honors as "all student awards." They are nothing of the sort. As Wikipedia explains, "There are many different kinds of fellowships," including financial grants that may or not be restricted to students. In the case of Christina Quintana, it is clear from the references in her BLP's Awards section that these fellowships were granted to foster her already evident literary accomplishments, not to support her as a student. A fair reading of each cited source confirms that the Lambda Literary Award, Van Lier New Voices Fellowship, Arch and Bruce Brown Foundation 2017 Playwriting Competition $500 Honorable Mention prize, New York's Playwrights Realm 2017-18 writing fellowship, and MacDowell Colony Award are solid professional endowments, not mere student awards.

perhaps I should have said, "award for the development of someone who is not yet notable". (and an honourable mention is not a prize. It's a consolation for not winning a prize.) Perhaps she does have" a solid professional future ahead of her" -- and at that point, an encyclopedia should have an article. DGG ( talk ) 19:36, 5 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

DGG: Please stop misrepresenting the facts. As I wrote above, the Arch and Bruce Brown Foundation 2017 Playwriting Competition $500 Honorable Mention prize is a prize of $500. It is not an empty consolation. NedFausa (talk) 19:40, 5 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep, per RachelWex. The Lambda Literary Foundation awards are high recognition in LGBTQ+ literature. = paul2520 💬 03:11, 6 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep The ${\displaystyle \Lambda }$ awards for this author's work seems to fit wp:creative's recommendation that the author's work has "won significant critical attention", namely from the awarding literary society. I suppose an argument could be made for the Lambda Literary Society is too niche or is too much of a special interest, but considering there already is an uncontested wikipage for the Lambda Literary Award, I don't think it's going to fly.
