Very limited to no notability. This is an autobiography by the artist themselves, and is purely promotional. Editor has created several different draft versions, which they attempted to put through AfC, but gave up after a single denial each time. I would normally say that if notability could be established, than this might be worth saving, but if you read the comment left on this article's talk page, and take it in light of the message left on my talk page (Request on 09:00:14, 21 March 2016 for assistance on AfC submission by Gwenwynne), it appears this person is more interested in using Wikipedia as a WP:SOAPBOX, and for self-promotion. She currently has two drafts pending in AfC. If she is truly willing to work on the article, delete this one, and let one of the drafts go through the AfC process. Although, my searches turned up virtually nothing about them (one brief mention in a Huffpo blog). Without being able to verify the veracity of the citations in the article, and the promotional nature of it, I think that this article should be at least merged with either of the two drafts, and let an uninvolved editor take it over.

 * As a side note, I have offered to help this editor get an article ready, through the draft process, if they are willing.  Onel 5969  TT me 00:39, 22 March 2016 (UTC)

 * the backstory and presence of drafts is not relevant to this deletion discussion; in the future I suggest trying to be more terse and framing the nomination in the context of deletion policy. That said, the concern I raised when I proposed this article for deletion remains; the subject does not appear to meet the criteria listed at WP:BASIC. The sources so far presented mention the theatre troupe she co-founded and was the artistic director of, awards that actors in the films and plays won, etc but they have very little to say about the actual subject of the article. I have not been able to find anything better. So, delete. VQuakr (talk) 02:40, 22 March 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete. Basically self-promotional, and fails WP:GNG and WP:BIO. If she is notable then someone else can create an article about her, or take it over as has been suggested. This is Paul (talk) 17:58, 22 March 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete. Modest credits on imdb, no other serious coverage. Since the references are all off-line, I'm not in a position to see if they really back up her claim to notability, but what I could find on-line does not. ubiquity (talk) 18:16, 22 March 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete as certainly questionable for any applicable notability, nothing else better convincing. SwisterTwister   talk  06:05, 24 March 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete I only found one Huffington Post link which mentions her name in passing. Considering the lack of sources, I am not convinced that the article subject is notable enough. --Lemongirl942 (talk) 08:45, 24 March 2016 (UTC)
