Angela Garcia Combs

Fails WP:SIGCOV and WP:FILMMAKER. Other than the lack of subject specific coverage, I don't think having made a film that has been reviewed by blogs and a screenplay that is in a library is enough to establish notability.

 * Keep. The film has been reviewed by The Hollywood Reporter, in the review it states that "Director-screenwriter Angela Garcia Combs has a habit of telling rather than showing when it comes to her characters, meaning that we know Louise is smart and great at her job because her boss keeps telling her so rather than seeing her in action, using her acumen to, say, find her way around closing a tricky deal." Variety review: "A character-driven showcase for the talents of helmer Angela Garcia Combs". Work has won significant critical attention, passess WP:FILMMAKER.

 * Thanks for the links. I would generally say that one film isn't enough to constitute WP:FILMMAKER because then we'd just have an article on that film instead. But I'm open to discussion. — BriefEdits (talk) 06:03, 27 January 2022 (UTC)
 * Delete - After research online and at the Wikipedia Library, and some revisions to the article, I think it may be possible per WP:NFILM to create an article about Nothing Special, e.g. The Olympian 2010, THR 2011, LA Weekly 2011, Variety 2011, but WP:FILMMAKER notability does not seem supported by these reviews. The article also mostly relies on primary and non-independent sources for biographical and career information, to the extent it has citations, and there do not appear to be sufficient secondary sources available to support WP:BASIC/WP:GNG notability at this time. Beccaynr (talk) 23:03, 27 January 2022 (UTC) However, based on the sources found by, I am updating my !vote to keep per WP:CREATIVE due to her collective body of work and the independent reviews that could be incorporated into the article.

 * Keep. The article is largely about her notable film, Nothing Special. If someone wants to spend a few minutes they could easily reorganize the article and move it to Nothing Special (film), but moves during deletion discussions are discouraged. However, I note that some of her other works may also be notable, for example Missouri Waltz (see Variety, Hollywood Reporter, Backstage, L.A. Times, L.A. Weekly). pburka (talk) 20:00, 10 February 2022 (UTC)
 * Rescind nomination Per Pburka. Not really knowledgable about theatre but that amount of coverage will probably suggest that it is a notable piece of theater. My cynicism wants to discount it as mill local theater coverage (it's rather difficult to tell with LA) but I think I can err on the side of notability and just clean up the article instead. — BriefEdits (talk) 06:19, 12 February 2022 (UTC)
