Fails WP:NJOURN. Lacks notability and sources. Only source I can find is CBC. Thepharoah17 (talk) 22:38, 28 September 2021 (UTC)

 * Comment Notable in BC but notable for Wikipedia? Unsure, although, CBC is a reliable source here and here. Still looking to see if we have enough for an article. Lightburst (talk) 23:23, 28 September 2021 (UTC)
 * While the CBC is a reliable source in principle, you can never, ever stake any journalist's notability on content self-published by her own employer, such as her staff profile or the outlet's own announcements of its own staffing or programming changes. You always need coverage about her in independent sources, namely media outlets that don't employ her. Bearcat (talk) 14:59, 3 October 2021 (UTC)


 * Comment Was poorly sourced. Did some digging and added citations for the awards. At its current form, I think the subject passes WP:JOURNALIST: "The person has created or played a major role in co-creating a significant or well-known work or collective body of work. In addition, such work must have been the primary subject of an independent and notable work (for example, a book, film, or television series, but usually not a single episode of a television series) or of multiple independent periodical articles or reviews;"--WomenProj (talk) 18:52, 30 September 2021 (UTC)
 *  Weak Keep I have found more sources related to awards, or at least nominations, e.g. 1, 2, and there is more biographical and career information that could be added from the Georgia Straight article. Per WP:JOURNALIST#4, the frequency and scale of the award nominations and wins seem like sufficient "significant critical attention", or per #1, that she is sufficiently "regarded as an important figure" to support a standalone article.

 * Keep. To be fair, I do see the problem as of the time of nomination, because the article was written semi-advertorially and unsourced — but she (a) actually does have a nationalized notability claim as a past host of a national network show on CBC Television, and even more importantly Gemini Award and/or Canadian Screen Award nominations that nail notability to the wall in and of themselves, and (b) actually does have some legitimate sources that have been added to the article since this discussion was initiated.
