The documented awards are minor or local, and I do not see how anything here amounts to notability  DGG ( talk ) 23:54, 4 August 2013 (UTC)
 * Keep. Added documented national awards and additional in depth coverage documenting her contributions.  Her contributions exceed what a journalist typically contributes and are notable.
 * Keep. Angela Hill has make signification contributions as an American Journalist with her documentary on China in 1979 and the Golden Fleece Awards, in 1978.  Schwartzenberg (talk) 20:47, 6 August 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete and salt as failing WP:BIO. There is no in depth independent coverage here. Stuartyeates (talk) 00:28, 5 August 2013 (UTC)
 * To me, the notability looks minor but real. DS (talk) 04:26, 7 August 2013 (UTC)

 * Keep. Different editors have different thresholds for notability on local newscaster bios, but she readily passes mine. She has been a highly visible and influential presence in New Orleans for decades.  There's no shortage of coverage about her: here, for example, is a selection of coverage in The Times-Picayune illustrating her career as an "news icon for nearly four decades"; here is a Boston Globe article (paywalled) noting that her marriage with and divorce from Garland Robinette "captured the public's imagination".   --Arxiloxos (talk) 00:46, 8 August 2013 (UTC)
 * Weak keep. Would like to see more third-party sources.  Gamaliel  ( talk ) 19:34, 8 August 2013 (UTC)
 * Added additional third-party sources and citations. The coverage is in depth and independent.  The documented awards are national and local.  Fits criteria as defined in WP:BIO.  Schwartzenberg (talk) 01:55, 9 August 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete. Awards are either local or if national, are minor in nature.  Longevity at a job is not sufficient grounds for notability in and of itself.  No in-depth coverage.  Insufficient third party sources.   GregJackP   Boomer!   14:39, 11 August 2013 (UTC)
 * Keep. She's certainly a Big Deal™ in New Orleans. And it's been puzzling to me for years that Garland Robinette, her one-time partner and an arguably rather less notable figure, is covered here when Hill isn't. GreenGourd (talk) 16:27, 11 August 2013 (UTC)
 * The awards listed are both local and national (the national awards are listed on Wikipedia). "Minor in nature" is not true.  "Longevity at a job is not sufficient grounds for notability in and of itself."  This is irrelevant, the article discusses her career and her contributions. "Insufficient third party sources."  Not true.  Schwartzenberg (talk) 02:40, 12 August 2013 (UTC)
