Based on current Wikipedia statistics, it's safe to say:
A Hugo win in any fiction category makes the author notable.
A Hugo nomination in the Novel and Novella categories makes the author notable.
A Hugo nomination in the shorter fiction categories (Novelette and Short Story) do not guarantee notability, but roughly 94% of these authors are considered notable.
Hugo Winners with no Wikipedia articles (Fiction Categories)
None. Lia Belt is listed on the Wikipedia article for Novelette, but her role was as translator, and not an official winner (? There is some debate on whether translators or other types of contributors actually receive an award).
Hugo Nominees with no Wikipedia articles (Novella Category)
Seven novels, including two series, and five pieces of shorter fiction. Nominated in 2012 for Locus Best First Novel. One Hugo nomination; preliminary nominee for three Gemmell Awards. Numerous interviews have been conducted with the author at SFsignal, Fantasy Faction, SciFi Bulletin, Book Browse, and many others. Not qualified for SFWA, and lack of SFE entry indicates lack of notability in the SF field. Large number of reviews, however, does indicate notability.
Published 3 stories. "The Gift" won the 1987 Analog Award for Best Novella/Novelette, and was an honorable mention for the 1988 Sturgeon Award. "In Spirit" won the 2002 Analog Award for Best Novella, was nominated for a Hugo, was a preliminary nominees for the 2003 Nebula, and made the Locus top 20. Has two qualifying short stories, but not meet requirements for SFWA. Lack of SFE entry indicates lack of notability in the SF field. 'Numerous' award nominations and wins, however, does indicate notability.
Contributed to The Deep (novella), which was nominated for a Hugo. Does not meet requirements for SFWA. Don't recommend an article for this author yet.
Multiple novels, a large number of short stories, editor of Rigel Science Fiction. 3 Analog Award nominations, 2 Hugo nominations, and 1 Locus. Good candidate.
Large number of short stories. Nominated for the 1999 & 2000 Cambell Award (Best New Writer), 1 Analog Award win, and 4 nominations. 2 Nebula nominations, 1 Hugo, and 1 Locus nom. Good candidate.
2 novels, and numerous short fiction. 2 Hugo noms, 2 Tiptree, 2 Locus, 1 Nebula, and 1 Compton Crook. Good candidate based on " or has been nominated for such an award several times".
1 novel, and prolific at short fiction. 1 Hugo nomination. Does not have multiple award nominations, nor numerous reviews, and no SFE entry, so this is a pass for now.
Published 2 dozen novels, with a Hugo and Nebula nomination. Many of the novels are collaborations, and the author has no SFE entry, so I would pass on an article for now.
Only 1 story attributed to Fall in the ISFDB. The story, however, is infamous, so much so that Wikipedia has a lengthy article on that story, and her name is a redirect to that article. Wikipedia has already made a decision on notability, so we should wait until the author publishes more.
Prolific short fiction writer with several novels. Nominated for 13 awards, including Best New Writer. The high number of award nominations and reviews transcends the otherwise Level 5. Good candidate.
Over a dozen short stories. Edited Aeon magazine. Nominated for 6 awards. Two qualifying stories. Possible candidate due to high number of award nominations.
Mostly writes as Steve Diamond. Prolific at short fiction length, with two novels and an anthology. 4 Hugo nominations, 3 for his Elitist Book Reviews fanzine. Fanzine nominations don't carry significant notability weight, and he only has two reviews in print, so pass at this time.
Nine works at short fiction length. With 2 nominations, including Best New Writer. One SFWA qualifying short story. Limited biographical information available. Pass for now.
Prolific at both novel and short fiction length. Just the one Hugo nomination and just one review, both for the story "Turncoat". Does have a published collection. On the cusp for an article.
If one starts with the article for Hugo Award for Best Short Story, this author link is a pointless redirect which references the Hugo-nominated story, which is itself a redirect that takes you right back to the Hugo short story listings.
Hugo Nominees with no Wikipedia articles (Professional Editor Short Form Category)
Did not write fiction, but wrote numerous editorials in the two magazines he founded: Galileo and Aboriginal Science Fiction, both having high circulations. 19 award nominations; 13 for Best Magazine, and 6 for Best Editor. The awards situation alone makes him notable for an article.
