Comment: I'm not seeing anything that satisfies
WP:BIO. Neither Broadway World nor IBDb list any Broadway credits. Clarityfiend (talk) 03:54, 25 November 2020 (UTC)[reply

Comment: The Sondheim award appears to fulfill 4(c) of WP:CREATIVE. The award is discussed not only in industry press like Playbill, but also mainstream news outlets like the national CBS News and also KPCC. If Broadway World is a needed publication that seems surprising to me, but even if so, he has had a bio there since at least June 2020. The first footnote, an unambiguous directing credit in the New York Times from 50 years ago, is an especially impressive mention; alongside numerous other sources spanning a decades-long career, this seems to clearly satisfy
WP:GNG even if there are concerns about a more specific criterion. I believe this should be published immediately; while there may be room for improvement, there's no reason for that not to happen in article space, i.e. I see no reason to delay it in draft space. -Pete Forsyth (talk) 04:27, 26 February 2021 (UTC)[reply
