Roberta Hill

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

no claim to fame except as one of five characters in a documentary and present there merely for being some sort of cinema fanatic. No source establishing notability Sirlanz (talk) 15:21, 1 January 2020 (UTC)

 * Delete - As nom says has only appeared in one documentary, any sources I could find were related to that documentary, so doesn't pass WP:GNG, sufficiently covered in Cinemania (film). Achaea (talk) 17:17, 1 January 2020 (UTC)
 * Merge to Cinemania. Almost all sources relate to the film. There is more info about her in the sources which discuss the film - either reviews of the film or a couple of books (eg Guiltless Pleasures: A David Sterritt Film Reader, Magnificent Obsession: The Outrageous History of Film Buffs, Collectors, Scholars, and Fanatics ). They give her former employment (she was a mail carrier), and clarify that she was a collector of cinema-related ephemera. The article on the film has no references, so these new sources could usefully be added there. Apart from sources about the film, I found one other source - an article in the New York Daily News from 1997 about people who walk over the Brooklyn Bridge  - Roberta Hill was crossing it between 9.45-10.15 pm after attending an Asian movie festival at a Brooklyn Heights cinema.
 * The sources in this article provide additional info about this person, including that her grandfather was also a collector, so it would be useful to merge the info and sources. RebeccaGreen (talk) 13:59, 8 January 2020 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

 * Merge some of the content to Cinemania. She appeared in one documentary as a film fanatic. The current stand-alone biography article for her doesn't pass WP:GNG. Kind Tennis Fan (talk) 04:21, 9 January 2020 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Cinemania (film). The subject is not notable outside the context of the documentary. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 05:07, 9 January 2020 (UTC)
 * Merge per above discussion, but at least redirect it per WP:CHEAP. Bearian (talk) 01:07, 12 January 2020 (UTC)
