Deletion of Kathy Shaidle

Comment: I agree with Shawn that the nomination is lacking.  However, I disagree with him that being published = notability.  If that were the case, I would have created an article on my mom long ago.  In this case,  suggests that receiving "significant critical attention" or "significant recognized awards or honours" confers notability.  Shaidle was a finalist for the Governor General's Awards, which is a very significant literary award in this country (I have no idea if the Church Press awards are recognized or are notable).  It would be a slam dunk if she had won the award, but being a finalist is nothing to sneeze at.  Therefore, I am inclined to lean towards keep

Comment: published author. Finalist for GG Award meets the  "significant critical attention" criteria. Mention of Sheridan College alumni casts some doubt on the nominator's motivations
