Thoughts on why article is no longer eligible for deletion

I saw this article on today's list of candidates for speedy delete. While there was a successful deletion discussion for this article in 2010, I believe the subject is now notable enough to justify an article. The subject is a Grand Master of the

Science Fiction & Fantasy Poetry Association and a multiple-time winner and finalist of the Rhysling Awards. If I'd taken part in the 2010 deletion discussion I'd have agreed with it because it was too soon. But nearly 12 years later it is no longer "too soon" and the subject now meets the Wikipedia's notability guidelines for people under creative professionals. --SouthernNights (talk) 16:01, 1 January 2022 (UTC)[reply

As a secondary note, this new version of the article is significantly different from the original deleted article, so it's not eligible for speedy delete for that reason. --SouthernNights (talk) 20:19, 1 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for looking into this. I'm the user who created the current version of this article, and it was in fact Schwader's status as an SFPA Grand Master and Rhysling winner, among other post-2010 developments, that led me to believe she was notable enough as an author to merit an entry on Wikipedia. I wasn't on the site in 2010, so I wasn't involved in the creation of the previous version of the article or the discussion surrounding its deletion at that time, but I think as things stand nowadays, Schwader is a fairly notable figure in the American speculative poetry scene.--Carscrumper (talk) 11:02, 2 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
