 * The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review).  No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was no consensus. With little input, and opposing views against the nominator, I don't think there's going to be an agreement on what to do with this. Ritchie333 (talk) (cont)  16:02, 23 March 2023 (UTC)

Jin Na (screenwriter)

 * Leaning keep. In addition to her awards for Apart Together, I see some sigcov for her 2020 BBC collaboration Hear Her (China Daily), suggesting she may pass WP:CREATIVE as she has "created or played a major role in co-creating a significant or well-known work or collective body of work." I'm suspicious that a search of Chinese sources will be more productive, and hope that a Chinese-speaker might share their findings here. pburka (talk) 16:43, 16 March 2023 (UTC)
 * No it doesn't. That is an interview and passing mention at best. This is a WP:BLP. It needs to be real in-depth, significant coverage that is independent of the subject. Not passing mentions and being one of three people with an 2nd class award. None of this so far satisfies this. WP:THREE are the normal standard for this. Three decent WP:SECONDARY would do it.   scope_creep Talk  10:26, 17 March 2023 (UTC)
 * It is worth noting that this film was shown in the west. So if there was kind of significance constituting notability, it would be plaining obvious, but its not.   scope_creep Talk  10:28, 17 March 2023 (UTC)
 * Twice above it is said that the scriptwriting award was shared with 2 others. It was certainly shared with Wang Quan'an but I don't understand who the 3rd person is suggested to be - I think this is a misunderstanding? Anyway, as I said on the article Talk page, I am unconvinced there is enough to establish notability here, but for this discussion I will mention a Sina interview (23 Feb 2010) with the subject about the script that she developed with Wang and also some biographical information and mention of her previous work as a writer about films. (As far as I can see, and without having strong sources with which to expand the article, she appears to have been working predominantly as a TV and film producer in the years since.)

 * Interviews don't establish notability unless the person is a model. They are WP:PRIMARY at best. Your right, it was two people that received the award, I thought it was three, but it only a second class award. It is a silver bear award not a gold one. So apart from the award there is no other WP:SECONDARY coverage. Not a thing.    scope_creep Talk  11:02, 18 March 2023 (UTC)

Keep per the significant coverage in multiple independent reliable sources. The subject passes Notability (people), which says: "People are presumed if they have received significant coverage in  that are,  of each other, and .If the depth of coverage in any given source is not substantial, then multiple independent sources may be combined to demonstrate notability; trivial coverage of a subject by secondary sources is not usually sufficient to establish notability."  The article notes from Google Translate: "The reporter unexpectedly learned yesterday that Jin Na, the female screenwriter who left Berlin for Spain before the award ceremony and regretted missing the chance to accept the award, turned out to be the daughter-in-law of Shishiren from Fujian. She went to Spain to help her husband Cai Xiaosong prepare for his upcoming solo exhibition there. Yesterday, the reporter interviewed Ms. Jin Na by phone. ... In 2000, she interviewed the Berlin Film Festival for the first time as a film reporter, and in 2005 she attended the film festival as the editor-in-chief of the magazine "Film Story"." <li> The article notes from Google Translate: "Jin Na, producer and screenwriter. Her masterpieces include "Heard Her Talk", "Everyone Wants to Meet You", "Reunion", etc., and won the "Best Screenplay" at the Silver Bear Award at the 60th Berlin International Film Festival for "Reunion". ... Recalling the creative stage, Jin Na also called this work another "highlight moment" for herself. She has been immersed in the film and television industry for many years. "Reunion" written by Jin Na won the Silver Bear Award at the 60th Berlin International Film Festival The best screenwriter, as a producer, also has many masterpieces, but "Heard Her Talk" is still particularly special among them."</li> <li> The article notes from Google Translate: "Although Jin Na, the screenwriter of the movie "Reunion" and winner of the Best Screenplay Award at this year's Berlin Film Festival, left Berlin for Spain in advance, she still learned about the news of the award through the Internet, and expressed her gratitude for the award through the Internet immediately."</li> </ol>There is sufficient coverage in reliable sources to allow Jin Na to pass Notability (people), which says, "multiple independent sources may be combined to demonstrate notability". Through being the winner (with Wang Quan'an) of the Silver Bear for Best Screenplay at the Berlin International Film Festival for Apart Together, the subject passes Notability (people), which says, "The person has received a well-known and significant award or honor, or has been nominated for such an award several times".

 * That is exact same interviews that were detailed above along with the 2nd class award. You have not added a single thing to the discussion. Interviews are WP:PRIMARY and don't establish notabilty.   scope_creep Talk  10:08, 20 March 2023 (UTC)
