Contested PROD. Concern was: "Research for sources returns self populated blogs, social networking sites, and box-office sales. Awards are not confirmed. Sources do not meet criteria at WP:ENT. " The only ref on the page is the subject's own web site. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 14:23, 18 April 2011 (UTC)
 * Tentative keep Wouldn't a Barry Award satisfy notability? The award and the festival it takes place at are both notable, it is only given to one person, and includes a trophy and a cash payout. Her one other award (Sydney Comedy Festival - Time Out Best Newcomer), and the two other 'nominated' are weak, but the Barry Award would appear to put her just passed the bar.

 * Problem is, verifiability, not  truth  is our policy, and any  of these awards needs proving  through  a very reliable source, such  as a list  of winners on the Barry Award website -  a mention  just  somewhere else would't  do. We  still  also  need extensive news coverage about  the subject. --Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 04:19, 19 April 2011 (UTC)
 * Barry nomination and other citations have been added. Is this enough for the article to be kept? 19:52, 20 April 2011 (AEST) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Anaphase27 (talk • contribs)

 Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Ron Ritzman (talk) 00:09, 25 April 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep per citations added for the awards. A little research and adding of sources might have prevented an unneccessary AFD.  Schmidt,  MICHAEL Q. 09:47, 21 April 2011 (UTC)
