 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Comment. Here's one substantial source, anyway: Rick Kogan, "It's Mamet, As In Sister Lynn", Chicago Tribune, March 14, 1993. She's been nominated for a couple of widely-shared producer Emmys on Law & Order, and one Poe Award for TV episode writing; and a short film that she wrote was nominated for an Oscar . No award wins that I've found so far. Worth reading, although it doesn't directly contribute to notability, is this 1993 LA Times column she wrote about her efforts to separate her career from her famous brother's.   Would like to see if more shows up in this AfD. --Arxiloxos (talk) 20:11, 1 February 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete This page was created in 2009, if the above article in the Chicago Tribune is all you can locate 8 years later then sadly the page should go.Sgerbic (talk) 20:11, 3 February 2017 (UTC)

 * Keep She was a successful screen writer back in the 90s, I ran a news archive search, and lots of coverage comes up, profiles and news articles and reviews about quite a number of thinks she wrote, more than just name checking, discussions of her work and career. I added one or 2 sources before I concluded that there is more than enough to support notability.  Assessment of her notability is undoubtedly hampered by the difficulty of locating information about a career that flourished in the 90s; it really is necessary to search newspaper archives, and many editors lack the facility to do so.E.M.Gregory (talk) 11:06, 9 February 2017 (UTC)
 * Note that clicking HighBeam in the tool bar at top of page will bring up not only coverage of her as "sister of", and "daughter of", but also some coverage of her career.E.M.Gregory (talk) 11:11, 9 February 2017 (UTC)
 * Also note that article is linked from stuff (mostly TV episodes) that she wrote.E.M.Gregory (talk) 11:14, 9 February 2017 (UTC)


 * WP:HEY Did a very minor source, expand, using the first few sources that came up on a search. There are many more sources available.  I have the advantage of being able to use a paywalled Proquest news archive search. Mamet clearly had a moderately successful career as a writer.E.M.Gregory (talk) 20:56, 9 February 2017 (UTC)
 * Keep Thanks to more recent expansion and improved citations, there is enough to pass WP:GNG. Edwardx (talk) 23:27, 10 February 2017 (UTC)
 * Keep -- Expansion of article after nomination demonstrates enough significant coverage by independent reliable sources to pass WP:BIO and WP:GNG. — Cactus Writer (talk) 17:37, 17 February 2017 (UTC)
