Zoë Gibney

 * – ( View AfD View log | edits since nomination)

Make-up artist, actress and stuntwoman. But she does not meet our notability criteria. As an actress, she's only acted in short films or has held very minor roles ("Pretty disco dancer" is my favorite). She's been on stage once but apparently, the critics panned her performance and that unflattering line should probably be dropped from the article if it avoids deletion. The current refs are almost all links to various databases (12 out of 17 by my count). Her best claim to fame is that she wrote and directed a short film which was shortlisted for a (not particularly notable) award. This leads to three references that simply mention her name. All in all, I see no significant coverage in reliable sources. Pichpich (talk) 19:21, 31 January 2023 (UTC)

 * Delete per nom. No indication of WP:SIGCOV. A search in mainstream national news sources (like in the Irish Times, the Irish Examiner, on RTÉ, etc) returns absolutely nothing. Not even passing mentions. The only mainstream media source in which the subject is seemingly mentioned even in passing is that theatre review in the Irish Independent. A search in industry news sources, like the Irish Film & Television Network (which will typically name-drop even normal jobbing actors in news updates), returns only two trivial/passing mentions. As noted in the nom, that we are relying almost entirely on ROTM database entries (and passing mentions) strongly suggests that WP:NACTOR and WP:GNG are not met.

 * Delete No substantive sources. This is someone who is credited on minor films with roles like "Additional Make-Up Trainee Zoe Gibney". The short-list for the Virgin Media award might indicate that Gibney may be on the way to greater things; then again, that might turn out to be the high point. In any case, notability has not yet been achieved. (p.s. I am unable to search on Irish newspapers, so will check back in case someone finds sources that I cannot.)
