Delete: as non-notable or merge with George Gershwin or Ira Gershwin Leopold Godowsky, Jr. for same reason. Quis separabit? 01:12, 9 April 2016 (UTC)
 * Merge and redirect to Leopold Godowsky, Jr. per WP:NOTINHERITED. Clarityfiend (talk) 02:23, 9 April 2016 (UTC)
 * Keep. Obituaries in The New York Times, Los Angeles Times, Variety etc. show she has sufficient notability in her own right. Cole Porter "designed a show for her at the storied nightclub Les Ambassadeurs", and she cut an album to "wide acclaim". Clarityfiend (talk) 00:40, 11 April 2016 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus. Relisting comment: To evaluate sources mentioned and whether they establish notability SST flyer 03:01, 16 April 2016 (UTC)

Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, SST flyer 03:01, 16 April 2016 (UTC)
 * Keep. The major-media news obituaries noted above (there's also this in The Independent) and other coverage such as  establish her individual notability both for her role within the Gershwin family and for her own activities as a painter and performer. --Arxiloxos (talk) 17:16, 16 April 2016 (UTC)
