Fails WP:GNG and WP:SNG. No mention of notability, just a list of some plays. This has previously been deleted. Dr vulpes ^{( 💬 • 📝)} 05:20, 28 August 2022 (UTC) reply

• Dr_vulpes, the nomination mentions a previous deletion, but I am not seeing anything in the Logs; was this under a different article title? AllyD ( talk) 07:06, 28 August 2022 (UTC) reply

  Hey @ AllyD, I went looking and I can't find anything. It came up on my NPP tools when I was reviewing, do you see what I'm seeing? Here's a screenshot from my end. Dr vulpes ^{( 💬 • 📝)} 07:18, 28 August 2022 (UTC) reply

• The newpagesfeed does sometimes seem a bit enthusiastic in the Previously deleted text in the heading; it is usually correct, but other times I can't work out whether it is using soundalikes or something. AllyD ( talk) 07:47, 28 August 2022 (UTC) reply

  Just to be safe and fair I crossed out the bit on it being previously deleted. Dr vulpes ^{( 💬 • 📝)} 08:09, 28 August 2022 (UTC) reply

Gosh, I was surprised to see the suggestion for deletion. If living Irish playwrights are a suitable subject for a Wikipedia article, and there must be many such articles, then surely Sonya Kelly would be one such. She has definitely made a name for herself and her awards would underscore this. International awards as in the case of the Edinburgh Fringe Festival. I had just made a start and intended to return and do an awards section. I appreciate the extra work that AllyD has done in that regard. Aineireland ( talk) 15:46, 28 August 2022 (UTC) reply

• Keep - double award-winning playwright, satisfies WP:ANYBIO (1) and WP:AUTHOR. Bastun ^{Ėġáḍβáś₮ŭŃ!} 17:20, 28 August 2022 (UTC) reply
• Keep New additions and edits have enough reliable references to pass WP:GNG and WP:ARTIST. Thanks you AllyD for all the improvements you made and great sources you found for this article. Dr vulpes ^{( 💬 • 📝)} 20:59, 28 August 2022 (UTC) reply
