Film directors are not always automatically notable just because their films exist. There is no significant coverage in independent reliable sources and no evidence of satisfying WP:CREATIVE. GSS (talk |c|em ) 10:14, 15 September 2019 (UTC)

Keep - I agree with the fact that "film directors are not always automatically notable just because their films exist", but in this particular case, the young director who is the subject of the article did receive significant coverage, way beyond what other film directors who made a couple of shorts, have received. She was extensively interviewed on the BBC 5 radio show Up All Night (radio show), profiled in several publications associated with he University of California. She is at the beginning of her career for sure, but she's far from being the unknown amateur that the deletion proposal makes her out to be. PraiseVivec (talk) 13:46, 15 September 2019 (UTC)


 * All the sources you mentioned above are interviews that are not considered independent reliable sources as required by GNG and she has done nothing notable that make her pass WP:CREATIVE. GSS (talk |c|em ) 07:52, 16 September 2019 (UTC)

Keep subject appears to pass WP:GNG. Horse Eye Jack (talk) 04:53, 16 September 2019 (UTC)

Delete. Fails WP:GNG and WP:CREATIVE. The articles from university newspapers are too closely tied to the subject to be considered independent of the subject when it comes to evaluating notability. University publications often promote or review student work (such as music recitals and art shows by graduating students), and while this is verifiable, it is not notable. The Up All Night interview does lend some notability, but not enough to meet the threshold required by GNG. 4meter4 (talk) 05:19, 23 September 2019 (UTC) Delete fails WP:DIRECTOR - no awards of any significance, inclusion in a minor film festival, no *significant* coverage in WP:RS, quite possibly in future a film-maker of note, but not at present--Goldsztajn (talk) 12:36, 23 September 2019 (UTC).
 * Delete - I don't see the necessary sources to meet WP:BIO. WP:TOOSOON. 2A02:C7F:4481:8300:90DC:E235:5074:54B0 (talk) 12:45, 23 September 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete - the unreliable sources cover her deeply, but the reliable sources hardly mention her. Bearian (talk) 20:54, 23 September 2019 (UTC)
