Procedural nomination. Bump from speedy. Neutral. —Quarl (talk) 2006-12-24 08:44Z 
 * Weak Delete - Although she has won an Acadamy Award, I don't think that makes her notable enough (per WP:BIO) to have an article. Jayden54 15:04, 24 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep. Winning an Oscar ought to qualify her under the WP:BIO provision for "other professionals whose work is widely recognized (for better or worse) and who are likely to become a part of the enduring historical record of that field." --Metropolitan90 17:54, 24 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep, as an Academy Award winner. Nationalparks 18:05, 24 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Strong Keep Per everybody above that recognizes the notability of winning an Oscar. Drew30319 18:27, 24 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Strongest possible keep She's got a f***ing Oscar! Who would try to speedy this? -- Kicking222 19:36, 24 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Added comment I left a message on User:Kintetsubuffalo's talk page- I am amazed that someone would put a speedy tag on the article of someone who has verifiably won the biggest award in a major industry (and, aside from a Nobel Prize, Olympic Gold, or World Cup championship, perhaps the most well-known award in the world). -- Kicking222 19:41, 24 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep and let's assume good faith, I get a bit peeved when people fly off the handle on AfD debates that are not obviously bad faith nominations (and even then, fauxfanity is not necessary, IMO).-- Dmz5 *Edits**Talk* 23:09, 24 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment I don't feel strongly about this entry either way, but I just wanted to point out that the Academy Of Motion Picture Arts & Sciences gives out about 80 Oscars every year (and this year will be the 79th Academy Awards ceremony).  The Oscar-winners club is fairly exclusive, but I can conceive of Oscar-winners who would not be considered notable per WP:NOTE. TruthGal 03:45, 25 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep For the above cited reasons. And I have to disagree with TruthGal, even if a lot of Oscars get handed out each year, winning one of them indicates that the winner is very important in their field and are notable enough for an article.  I, personally, feel that winning an academy award is enough to meet notability requirements. --The Way 19:43, 25 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment The only reason this article was created is because of the subject's appearance on Identity. There's nothing here beyond what was announced on that show. Lambertman 05:25, 26 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete, I don't feel an AA automatically makes one notable. CRGreathouse (t | c) 09:22, 28 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep. Winning an Academy Award and the sources that creates clearly meets WP:BIO.  If this is not so, can someone explain why? Vegaswikian 00:11, 29 December 2006 (UTC)
