The result was delete. Not the clearest of consensuses (consensi?) numerically, but apart from Megalibrarygirl's, the "keep" opinions merely assert notability rather than discuss why it might exist here, and are therefore assigned less weight.  Sandstein  20:23, 12 October 2015 (UTC)

I doubt notable here. Being producer of a film is much less significant as a creative act than directing or writing it, and does not usually lead to notability unless its part of a substantial career. The refs are about various minor projects and some barely mention her.  DGG ( talk ) 04:15, 20 September 2015 (UTC)

 * Keep Most of the references profile her. Not only was she a producer of films (one of which was significant and shown at Cannes) but she's been a creative director as well. Her work has won awards and been covered by Australian media. As a person involved with a well reviewed film and someone with coverage in national news, she's obviously notable. Megalibrarygirl (talk) 05:09, 20 September 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete I see no significant coverage of this person in independent, reliable sources. The New York Times reference, for example, is a passing mention, not significant coverage. The assertion that an animated cat film she produced was nominated for an Academy Award appears false. There was speculation but no nomination. Being a member of a team of filmmakers whose work has won a few awards does not confer notability on the team member, nor do assertions that a person is "obviously notable". Nothing is obvious to me unless good sources are provided. Significant coverage is needed to show notability and I do not yet see it. Cullen328  Let's discuss it  05:48, 20 September 2015 (UTC)

 * Comment the Academy Award nomination was reported by Sydney Morning Herald. Do you have sources saying it's false reporting? Megalibrarygirl (talk) 05:24, 25 September 2015 (UTC)
 * Reply Here is exactly what the Sydney Morning Herald said on the matter: "The award comes as other Australian film-makers wait to hear whether they will be nominated for Academy Awards. While the great streak for Australian actors at the Oscars looks likely to finally end - after nods for 11 consecutive years, including four wins - there is the intriguing possibility of an Australian first in the announcement early on Wednesday, Sydney time." That is speculation about a nomination, not confirmation of a nomination, and not "false reporting". The only thing that is false is the claim that this reference verifies an Academy Award nomination. Please link to the actual nomination on the Academy Award website, .

 * Comment Good catch, . I had to re-read the article a few times, but you're right. I need to rewrite that area on the article. Megalibrarygirl (talk) 19:19, 27 September 2015 (UTC)
 * Weak Keep I can see the notability as well as professional growth but the article needs a re-write.  Heyyouoverthere (talk) 20:20, 27 September 2015 (UTC)

 * Delete and perhaps userfy. Might be a case of WP:TOOSOON, but at the moment searches don't turn up enough to show they pass WP:GNG or WP:NACTOR.  Onel 5969  TT me 13:10, 11 October 2015 (UTC)
