Talk:Freya Blackwood

I object to the recommendation for this article's deletion on the grounds that I did not base it solely on her notability for creating Hobbits' feet in Lord of the Rings. She is also notable for her illustrations for which she was awarded the Kate Greenaway Medal. A full list of recipients can be viewed here. As you can see, the majority of its awardees have articles devoted to them. For this reason, I believe that the article should be kept. sxebill (talk) 01:55, 29 August 2010 (UTC)

It is unclear to me that the award is enough to justify her notability. It's clear to me however that her other endeavors do not satisfy the notability guidelines. In general she does not seem to satisfy the criteria of WP:CREATIVE. It also appears that you may have a conflict of interest in this creation of this article. Is that true? Do you know her by any chance? Jason Quinn (talk) 02:47, 29 August 2010 (UTC)

The award has been given 53 times in the past 55 years. There are only 10 people who have received that medal that do not have an article about them. If winning this award does not meet the criteria for inclusion in Wikipedia, then I think somebody needs to look at a dozen or two of the articles for Kate Greenaway Medal winners, because they surely don't qualify, either. Also, Miss Blackwood and I were born more than a decade apart and we have nearly 10,000 miles between us. I was looking at redlinks and saw her name; I had no idea who she was until I wrote this article. Are you by any chance following me? Maybe it's just paranoia, but it seems like you're contesting my contributions in particular. sxebill (talk) 03:21, 29 August 2010 (UTC)
