WP:BLP of a spoken word poet, with no strong claim to passing Wikipedia's inclusion standards for either writers or musicians and no strong
reliable source coverage to support it. The only real claim of notability here is winning a local literary award for a chapbook, whereas "notable because awards" for a writer requires national literary awards on the order of the
Governor General's Awards or the
Griffin Poetry Prize, and the only references here are a
primary source list of the participants at a literary event from that event's own
self-published website and two pieces in university student newspapers. The latter two sources would be fine for supplementary confirmation of facts after the article had already cleared
WP:GNG on better ones, but are not widely distributed enough be bringers of GNG in their own right if they're the best sources that can be provided -- but on a ProQuest search all I can find for her is a couple of readings in event calendars, not substantive coverage about her, and I can find even less on Google, where even using the search term "Lisa B poet" to filter out
Lisa B(arbuscia) the fashion model still gets me hits for Lisa B(ernstein) the American jazz singer instead of Lisa B(aird) the Canadian slam poet.
I simply can't find any viable new sourcing to get her over GNG, and the article claims nothing about her that's "inherently" notable enough to exempt her from having to get over GNG.
