Lynn Hershman Leeson
Previously deleted under the A7 criteria. Apparently it now has enough to barely survive that, but I still don't think this person deserves an article. Her only claim to fame is that she wrote, directed, and produced the independent film Conceiving Ada. The film received no awards according to IMDb - and in fact, it doesn't even have any box office information listed there, which seems to indicate it never had any kind of real release pattern or distribution. --Hetar 04:31, 4 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep - When one has to revert to Google testing for something written, you suspect it is a slim topic; I began this originally with a delete. But Goggle shows 39,000 hits, many of which show some merit. Someone needs to beeef this article up. But she passes WP:N. Keep it - Williamborg (Bill) 04:50, 4 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Weak Keep - Her movie does actually look like a major production, with stars and everything. I like the user review on IMDB; it said in part: "The only good thing I can say about this film is that Tilda Swinton was in it. I have no idea why an actress of her caliber consented to appear in such a dud, but she most likely regrets it now." Nonetheless, it was apparently distributed in both US and Germany.  --Brianyoumans 05:45, 4 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep. Conceiving Ada was reviewed in the New York Times, San Francisco Chronicle, and San Francisco Examiner, which suggests some kind of release. And the fact that Swinton starred in Leeson's next film, Teknolust, suggests that she didn't regret making Conceiving Ada. --Metropolitan90 07:10, 4 September 2006 (UTC)
