Janus Cercone

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Promotional article, written like an advertisement for the subject. No evidence of passing WP:CREATIVE or WP:GNG, and no evidence of sufficient biographical reference material for a WP:BLP. The article was put up with approximately this content in 2016 by an SPA. Of the six references, two are dead and only two even mention the subject of the article. WP:BEFORE shows zero coverage of the subject's supposedly notable stage and film career, and a tiny amount of coverage of real estate properties she and her husband try to sell. For this BLP to remain, we need solid, in-depth sources that show clear notability, and sufficient biographical coverage to base an article on. PROD removed claming an "award", which turns out to have been a single nomination in 2012. David Gerard (talk) 14:48, 12 February 2021 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus. Relisting comment: Consensus unclear, especially with the two comments appearing to support retention
 * Delete Most of the sources in the article are pretty bad, with little more than passing mentions. At least one is dead. I did some looking online and didn't find any significant coverage in trade magazines or any news sites. ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 15:31, 12 February 2021 (UTC)
 * Comment I think her screenplays would make her notable, but this flowery language ("a true hyphenate?") has to be changed. Oaktree b (talk) 16:50, 12 February 2021 (UTC)
 * You sure? I couldn't find any evidence they'd achieved note. An award nomination isn't nothing, but it's not a lot. What sort of criteria do we have for screenwriters? But really, the main problem is that I'm having trouble finding just WP:BASIC - David Gerard (talk) 23:41, 12 February 2021 (UTC)
 * Comment. Her real-estate business seems to have attracted some attention in reliable sources, e.g. Variety and Forbes and there's some bio info in this piece in Broadway Buzz about the musical adaptation of her screenplay. pburka (talk) 15:50, 17 February 2021 (UTC)
 * The Forbes is a contributor blog, so not usable for notability. I'm not convinced the others swing WP:GNG and don't seem to meet WP:CREATIVE at all - David Gerard (talk) 17:59, 18 February 2021 (UTC)

 * Weak keep. The Leap of Faith screenplay and musical, combined with some reporting on her real-estate career, seem like just enough to scrape by. The article is highly promotional, and, if kept, I'll give it a trim and remove the puffery. pburka (talk) 22:37, 24 February 2021 (UTC)

 * Redirect to Leap of Faith (film). All sources that I found effectively mentioned her in passing, like "Janus Cercone of Leap of Faith fame". I don't think outright deletion would be correct, but redirecting with the possibility of reinstating it with better sources should they appear down the line seems like the most suitable outcome.
