Wikipedia:WikiProject Women in Red/Awards

WiR redlist index: Awards

Welcome to WikiProject Women in Red (WiR). Our objective is to turn red links into blue ones. Our scope is women's biographies, women's works, and women's issues, broadly construed. This list of red links is intended to serve as a basis for creating new articles on the English Wikipedia. Please note however that the red links on this list may well not be suitable as the basis for an article. All new articles must satisfy Wikipedia's notability criteria with reliable independent sources.

This is a Women in Red page for women without articles who have won, was nominated, or a finalist for an award/medal. Feel free to add to this list and remove any completed ones. Specific criteria include: WP:ACADEMIC, WP:NSPORTS, WP:MUSIC and WP:ANYBIO to name a few.
