Subject does not receive reliable secondary coverage, nor are his awards noteworthy enough for an article. TheGracefulSlick (talk) 07:38, 30 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Award-winning, right. My search for "Irina Ratushinskaya Freedom Book Award" couldn't find any description of the award, nor a homepage, just few mentions in passing, seemingly all in relation to this person - which raises a question - is he its only recipient? Veers close to WP:HOAX. Same for "Wilmington Creative Writing Program Book Award". Other refs seem broken and hard to verify too. Nothing I see suggests he meets WP:CREATIVE, and the abysmally low level of sourcing on him makes it possible this is a hoax. In either case, this is a great illustration of abuse of the term "award-winning" :> --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 07:56, 30 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Yes, the "2005... LizBeth poetry award from the zine" doesn't seem to exist. There is no LizBeth poetry award according to Google and the "zine" is a broken link to an apparently unrelated webpage. Shawn in Montreal (talk) 11:12, 30 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
