Sole claim to notability rests on being one of the List of Eurovision Song Contest presenters. Other than that fails WP:GNG/WP:NBIO, no indication of in-depth coverage, awards, significance. I prodded this a few years back, but was deprodded. AFAIK from the discussions we had back then this was part of a series of similar articles created by a fan or fans of Eurovisions who were under the impression that everything related to that show is notable, but WP:NOTINHERITED bears keeping in mind. Few years on, the individual does not seem to have become more notable, so it's time for AfD. Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus&#124; reply here 03:12, 30 October 2019 (UTC)

 * Keep - per WP:BASIC, at least two instances of WP:SIGCOV in more than one reliable source are needed. The first is this Irish Independent article which gives her three short paras and highlights the reasons for her notability (introduced the Irish language to many people in Ireland, hosted Eurovision) - nb. this is not a case of "inherited" notability because that would be editors saying, without supporting sources, that she was notable for hosting Eurovision, rather than having a reliable source state that this is the case. From that article, I see she now goes under the name Bernadette Ó hUiginn, and searching for that name I see she is also covered in this Irish Times article. I also see from the Nival database that she has had a number of exhibitions for her artwork including at Dún Aimhirgin which is a "prestigious state-run gallery" in Ireland. Additionally there's this coverage in the US Congressional records (EDIT: this appears to have been a story published in the Washington Post which can be read here). As with a lot of Irish gaelic names, searching in this case is complicated by the large number of variants of each name so there's probably more out there, but even with what's been found thus far seems like a pass for WP:BASIC and also WP:NARTIST (particularly 4(b)).

 * Keep - An entry for a Eurovision Song Contest presenter is just as important as a presenter for any other relevant television show. Why do I mention this, because the presenter in question is the face to a worldwide audience - the Eurovision Song Contest is still one of the most watched television programmes worldwide. Whilst I except that not all TV presenters need a Wikipedia entry, I think it is significant that the Eurovision presenters should be entitled to an entry, given the fact they have presented one of the biggest television programmes, worldwide. To say that the entry is insignificant due to the lack of in-depth coverage, awards and significance I find to be an understatement. Mrluke485 (talk) 14:14, 30 October 2019 (GMT)

 * Keep Mrluke485, you took the words right out of my mouth. She was the face of the nation, well known by everybody. I suspect if you dig deep you will find a mountain of references.  scope_creep Talk  09:42, 1 November 2019 (UTC)
