• ... that a bad review inspired Aya Ogawa to create an Obie Award-winning play?

• Source: "A major catalyst for “The Nosebleed” was a pan of Ogawa’s 2015 play, “Ludic Proxy,” by the critic Helen Shaw in Time Out New York — a brisk 600-plus words, three of which were fails, failure and failing. To Ogawa, the review was a devastating dismissal that lodged the notion of failure inside her, demanding that she examine it." (The New York Times) "In 2023, Aya received an Obie Award for the creation, writing, and direction of The Nosebleed" (American Theatre)

• Now this looks like an interesting one. Article is of sufficient length, the most similar source at Earwig is only 7.4% similarity. Policy compliant, effective hook. Giving the go-ahead. BarntToust 16:57, 19 January 2026 (UTC)

– Ogawa the playwright is likely PRIMARYTOPIC, active for over two decades with widespread coverage in English language sources and multiple major awards, demonstrating long-term significance, while English language searches return few results for the singer except for wiki entries (a Japanese ceramicist appears higher in my search results than the singer). The top page linking to Aya Ogawa is incorrect and meant for the playwright. BrechtBro (talk) 03:07, 19 January 2026 (UTC)

Looks like the vast majority of the other links to Aya Ogawa are coming from a template, rather than from individual articles, so moving won't create significant cleanup. BrechtBro (talk) 22:00, 19 January 2026 (UTC)

Support. My search results also vastly leads to the playwright rather than the singer. Plus the singer and actress Aya Ogawa had only just began her career in 2022, which could even mean that she's not notable enough yet to have her own page. The playwright should be the sole subject for that title. Turniner (talk) 07:27, 20 January 2026 (UTC)

'''support''' Ogawa (dramatist) is notable across several genres Lajmmoore (talk) 17:26, 25 January 2026 (UTC)

• Oppose 1st, support 2nd, no PRIMARYTOPIC. Create DAB at basename, since both pages are relatively recent.--Ortizesp (talk) 20:08, 25 January 2026 (UTC)

Oppose 1st, support 2nd - per Ortizesp. There isn't a clear primary topic. Searching for Aya Ogawa on Google shows me the playwright, but it seems the Japanese singer is part of a popular idol group. Both pages are also relatively new-ish, so there isn't enough pageview data that can definitively tell us which Ogawa people are actually looking for. Limmidy (talk) 03:25, 26 January 2026 (UTC)
