 * Keep. On-going coverage, including international coverage (e.g. ) - continuously over the past 4 decades (1982 through present) - amply satisfying NCRIME. Note her husband Chris Dawson (not in DAB) being a rugby star in Newtown Jets (at top-flight team prior to 1983) would pass WP:NSPORTS - NOTINHERITED here, of course, but this contributed to coverage.

 * Keep per WP:NSPORTS, per plenty of reliable sources.BabbaQ (talk) 16:57, 27 September 2018 (UTC)
 * Keep. The Dawson disappearance has been the subject of detailed investigation in significant reliable sources over an extended period. These include 60 Minutes, The Australian, Australian Story (2018), Australian Story (2003). Also received international coverage through CNN, The Independent, BBC etc. WWGB (talk) 00:18, 28 September 2018 (UTC)
 * Keep. notable case with lots of coverage Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 03:11, 28 September 2018 (UTC)
 * I see a flurry of recent coverage, nothing more. The above claims need to be substantiated. At most, the information should be merged to Chris Dawson.TheLongTone (talk) 13:44, 28 September 2018 (UTC)
 * Duh, Chris Dawson does not have an article, and the coverage goes back to at least 2003. A 15-year flurry? WWGB (talk) 13:53, 28 September 2018 (UTC)
 * I assumed, quite reasonably, that since WP:Sport was beong bandied about that there would be an article, since the notability bar for ball players is so low. Despite the cite from 2003 I still see no evidence of serious ongoing coverage. And keepWP:CIVIL in mind.TheLongTone (talk) 14:19, 28 September 2018 (UTC)


 * Keep Coverage by reliable secondary sources goes back and over many years. (If subject matter needed to be intrinsically remarkable to be notable then 90% of all sports people, never any hit bands, horses, and 99.99% of all celbrities, who are only famous for being famous, would also need to be deleted. To be notable a subject only as to be sufficiently referenced in reliable secondary sources.)  Subject here has been the topic of multiple radio programmes, multiple television programmes, and multiple news organisation articles both nationally and internationally, and variously over a long period.  Without trying too hard here is one from 2014, one from 2010. Aoziwe (talk) 14:46, 28 September 2018 (UTC)
