Abigail Child

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

Possibly notable filmmaker, but article was created by User:Ac729 as the only article (except to add this subject to a filmmaker list). Most of the content, except for the non-inline references, are from the filmmaker's website and so not reliable. Prior to my edits, the article included more resume-esque material. I strongly suspect this is autobiographical but that a future editor MAY be able to find reliable sources. But as it stands, this article does not meet that criteria.

 * Speedy Keep. Cunard has rewritten the article to meet all requirements and I agree that the individual passes notability criteria based on this rewrite. JRP (talk) 07:22, 20 October 2008 (UTC)


 * It's probably personal living things. I dont' know.-- Free way  8  02:30, 16 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep per the sources found on Google News. There are references from The LA Times The Denver Post, Village Voice, and The San Francisco Chronicle. She has also lectured about her films in Harvard. Her work has also been called "brilliant" and exciting by the LA Weekly. Also, she's also been mentioned in a number of books as seen in this Google Books search. Here's her biography from Women's Experimental Cinema by Robin Blaetz. And another biography from Women and Experimental Filmmaking by Jean Petrolle and Virginia Wexman. Abigail Child easily pass WP:BIO. Cunard (talk) 07:03, 16 October 2008 (UTC)

 * Keep based on sources found by Cunard. Edward321 (talk) 14:07, 17 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Note I'm not arguing that a good article couldn't be made, only demonstrating that this one is autobiography and includes information which violates WP:V. Perhaps it can be stripped instead, but it should not remain as-is. I suggest deletion as someone else with come along and recreate it with verifiable information eventually if she is notable enough.

 * Note: I've rewritten the article in a neutral point of view with plenty of third-party, reliable sources from books about this individual. Cunard (talk) 03:06, 20 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Per your revision, I withdraw this AfD request; Speedy Keep. Much better. JRP (talk) 07:22, 20 October 2008 (UTC)
