 * Delete being a wife to a somewhat notable person does not make one notable.John Pack Lambert (talk) 15:28, 4 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Keep. Misogyny is not (yet) one of the five pillars of Wikipedia. Dismissing nearly fifty years of a creative person's career because she was briefly married to a notable male singer is offensive, biased, and stupid. Her ex-husband had noting to with her starring as "Miss Julie" in a BBC tv production, writing a play staged in Manhattan, making documentary films, etc. This AFD is an embarassment and a waste of time. Stick a flute in it and close it; it's done. The Big Bad Wolfowitz (aka Hullaballoo). Treated like dirt by many administrators since 2006.  Fight for freedom, stand with Hong Kong!

 * Keep. She's not nearly as famous as her first husband, but she's sufficiently notable as a filmmaker and playwright. pburka (talk) 23:56, 5 September 2020 (UTC)
