Keep see 1, 2, 3 and 4, all found in two minutes. Nomination without merit. Mccapra (talk) 20:49, 19 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Keep per 3rd and 4th of Mccapra's sources. 1 has no proper byline, so little questionable. 2 is an interview. 3 is just a blurb but if we are accepting it as evidence of award then good enough. 4 is a proper review. Slywriter (talk) 00:21, 20 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
