fails WP:BIO and WP:CREATIVE as a journalist. yes she has worked for notable entities and interviewed notable people. but that doesn't make you notable. there is a complete lack of coverage about her as a subject. LibStar (talk) 06:52, 21 October 2011 (UTC)

 * Keep While some might question her as a journalist, it's a bit more difficult to dismiss her producing and starring in 46 episodes of CNN's World Beat from 1999-2001, among other things... and so can be seen to pass WP:ENT and WP:CREATIVE for her work as a director and producer. While the article requires cleanup though use of availabe sources, addressable issues do not always demand deletion.  Schmidt,  MICHAEL Q. 22:14, 21 October 2011 (UTC)
 * to me that's only one significant role. Perhaps a redirect to CNN World beat may be appropriate. LibStar (talk) 08:33, 22 October 2011 (UTC)
 * That my response picked an obvious highlight certainly does not mean there was only one. As the article itself asserts more, I always find it helpful before commenting to actually see if multiple assertions are verifiable.... and in this case they are.  WP:CREATIVE does not demand more than just one production, just so long as long as the production with which she created, or played a major role in co-creating, was a significant or well-known work which was subject of multiple independent periodical articles or reviews. As both producer of and actress in CNN WorldBeat (meriting an article itself) she qualifies as that production received such coverage, as also did her Spy School: Inside the CIA Training Program, and as did other works to a somewhat lessor degree. I see her body of work as verifiable, and both ENT and CREATIVE being met. It helped me to widen my search and eliminate false postives for other persons sharing that name, finding that she has herself also received coverage in relationship TO her works. To restate: while the article does require cleanup though use of available sources, addressable issues do not always demand deletion.  Schmidt,  MICHAEL Q. 16:47, 22 October 2011 (UTC)
