The subject does not seem to be notable for a standalone article. Notability seems to be tied to a single event, namely, The Closer (2021 film) controversy. MarioGom (talk) 20:30, 19 April 2022 (UTC)

 * Delete Fails WP:BIO1E and WP:GNG. Would suggest merge but subject is already covered in appropriate depth in The Closer (2021 film). NiklausGerard (talk) 02:54, 20 April 2022 (UTC)
 * I think her suicide and the controversy around it, especially after The Closer, are enough to warrant a Keep (see WP:NOTBLP1E) or at least a Merge into The Closer. Although the article definitely needs expanding if kept, and I'll add it to my to do list. --WestCD (talk) 01:50, 22 April 2022 (UTC)
 * A merge works just fine for me, as that seems to be what people are leaning towards, and I don't have too much time to work on it right now anyway. --WestCD (talk) 01:56, 25 April 2022 (UTC)
 * Merge the content in to The Closer (2021 film). The content there would do well to be enhanced.   Chumpih  t 09:15, 24 April 2022 (UTC)
 * Merge into The Closer (2021 film). I looked for sources covering Dorman prior to her mention in Sticks & Stones. She gets a minor mention in this 2017 USA Today piece describing her move into the tech industry. She is covered similarly in a USA Today listicle from the same day. The latter was syndicated into a lot of local newspapers like this one. I'm not sure much more than a line of encyclopedic content could be gleaned from that batch of coverage, and likely not even that much.And then there are the oodles of sources about her mentions in Chappelle's specials. I think that content is best summarized in the articles about those specials. To be clear, I think she meets GNG, but that WP:PAGEDECIDE applies. The info we have on here is best presented in the context of Chappelle's shows, context being the key point in two of PAGEDECIDE's critical questions. The third, about what sourcing is available, further favors a merge. Mention of Dorman this calendar year has been negligible, and always centered on coverage of Chappelle. Barring any major shifts in the sources, an article on Dorman is likely to be stuck as a perma-stub. In looking for sources, I used Google News and Newspapers.com. If someone uses other methods and finds sources that add new information, I'd gladly change my vote. Firefangledfeathers (talk / contribs) 18:07, 24 April 2022 (UTC)
