Fails WP:CREATIVE as a playwright and also WP:NACTOR. Lots of coverage for a detective of the same name, but little coverage for this individual. LibStar (talk) 03:31, 28 March 2022 (UTC)

 * Delete unreferenced entry. Nothing would be lost by deleting this. -- Ssilvers (talk) 00:01, 29 March 2022 (UTC)
 * Keep I made some improvements to the article before writing this. She produced Gasland and How to Let Go of the World which were the subject of reviews by Variety and New York Times and therefore she meets criteria 3 of WP:CREATIVE. while this article deserved to be deleted at the point of nominations, I think it is now proving her notability.

 * Keep: Thanks to new sourcing. Could usefully be expanded.--Ipigott (talk) 10:35, 29 March 2022 (UTC)
 * Delete There are 4 sources in article. First one is not a RS and it seems to be like a profile page. In second link, there is not even one mention of the subject! I couldn't load third source but according to the domain of website, its an interview. In last source we can just see a mention of the subject one time that is not significant coverage!

 * Source 1 - fair
 * Source 2 - It exists to prove that the film she produced is notable, which is how we measure the notability of creative professionals
 * Source 3 - It seems very unfair to discount it just because you can't open it, maybe you should abstain from voting if you cannot access the websites that prove notability?
 * Source 4 - Is the second demonstration that her work is notable, again, which is how I am demonstrating she passes as per WP:CREATIVE CT55555 (talk) 23:00, 29 March 2022 (UTC)
 * Keep per WP:CREATIVE#3 and WP:ANYBIO - there is also a WAVY-TV profile (2021), with biographical information, including her work on "the Academy Award-nominated, Emmy-winning documentary film, “Gasland.”"; reviews for Blood on the Mountain include (via Metacritic) RobertEbert.com, LATimes, WaPo, Village Voice, the NYT, as well as the Notre Dame/St. Mary's Observer, and there is a 2016 The Hollywood Reporter report. Metacritic also lists three reviews for Gasland, and one from the LA Times for Gasland II. This alumni news article is not independent, but also reports awards. Broadway World also reports on WOW company in 2010. Beccaynr (talk) 16:38, 31 March 2022 (UTC)
 * Keep per WP:CREATIVE. There seem to be more than enough reviews, and the article has potential. -- Maddy from Celeste  ♥︎(they/she)♥︎ :: talk to me uwu  17:02, 31 March 2022 (UTC)
 * Comment via ProQuest, there is also: "I know you are worried about fracking over in Scotland. Well, you should be worried: TEXAS FAMILY DEVASTATED BY GAS EXTRACTION WARN SCOTS OF HEALTH RISKS" (Sunday Mail, 2015) (essentially reprinted in The Daily Record) which includes more than quotes from her when discussing Gasland II. In 2013, the AP reports on Gasland II (and in 2022, "Criminal charges against 'Gasland' driller head to court" via ABCNews). Via Proquest, there is also "THE EXPENSE OF SPIRIT" in TheatreForum (not independent, by Josh Fox, 2005) that confirms an acting role. Beccaynr (talk) 18:42, 31 March 2022 (UTC)
