 * Keep. I've added some more content and refs to the article. Based on the reference listed in the comments here (The Picturegoer, 22.11.1913: 194 & 197 – “How I Write My Picture Plays” by Bannister Merwin in which he says: “Almost all our work is done in collaboration.” Includes a photo of “Mr & Mrs Bannister Merwin the well-known authors, who have written in collaboration many Edison film plays.) I think there are probably more offline references. Tacyarg (talk) 18:09, 5 May 2019 (UTC)

 * Keep as the article has been improved with extra reliable sources references. Also in a subject this old there is no hint of promotionalism, Atlantic306 (talk) 21:51, 5 May 2019 (UTC)
 * Keep Adequately sourced to establish notability (mavens of silent film could probably expand it). WP:BLP is irrelevant for someone who died in 1962. XOR&#39;easter (talk) 01:07, 6 May 2019 (UTC)
 * Sadly, Delete. These two actors were professionals and journeymen, but they were certainly not Notable, or else there would be more written about them in their lifetimes. Sure, they are mentioned in passing, but not as central characters in any news or feature story. BeenAroundAWhile (talk) 22:43, 6 May 2019 (UTC)
 * Keep Well sourced for its era, even if it was much less well sourced I would lean towards a snowball keep based on period and subject. Horse Eye Jack (talk) 08:04, 7 May 2019 (UTC)
 * Keep or Merge with her more notable spouse Bannister Merwin with whom she co-authored the works for which she is remembered. Sources are too strong to make deletion eligible.  I lean towards keeping.E.M.Gregory (talk) 21:58, 7 May 2019 (UTC)
 * If they were really Notable as a writing team, then WP:Merge would be fine. Do we really have sources for their teamwork, or are we just reaching for the sky here? BeenAroundAWhile (talk) 13:35, 10 May 2019 (UTC)
 * Keep - co-author of more than half a dozen screenplays. While we have access to nice databases for the period for American newspapers and film sources, unfortunately we don't for British sources of the same period. Onel 5969  TT me 20:53, 8 May 2019 (UTC)
 * Keep It seems that she did co-author some works with her husband, but others say "by Anne Merwin", so it would be better to have separate articles. More information and sources can be found - they wrote fiction, as well as screenplays. But as it is, the article is well-sourced and informative. RebeccaGreen (talk) 16:07, 12 May 2019 (UTC)
