The subject is quoted a handful of times in reliable sources, but nowhere is there independent coverage of the kind that would actually be something you could build an article around. Does not meet WP:GNG. Most of the article is original research, most egregiously the biography section which is entirely unsourced. It's also extremely promotional, although maybe not quite G11 level. _signed,Rosguill ^talk 03:01, 25 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Delete : I agree with Rosguill, the subject does not have enough independent coverage and fails to meet WP:GNG. - Tatupiplu'^talk 03:26, 25 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Not notable, and this is borderline G11 and likely UPE. Sulfurboy (talk) 03:44, 25 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete I was considering putting this up for deletion myself for these reasons. Mccapra (talk) 04:02, 25 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete The claim that this person was key to a major shift of medium use in the entertainment industry needs sourcing that is reliable and adequate to support that claim, that is entirely lacking.John Pack Lambert (talk) 13:29, 26 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Hi, I'm the author of this article. I am a journalist who was fascinated to learn that the subject was in fact a key figure in transitioning the entire cinema industry towards digital projection. Thank you for your feedback, as this is my first article and I interviewed the subject to find out some of her biographical information and current leadership positions. I can understand if this article needs to be significantly shortened and some of that original research be removed. But as for notability, I'd argue that she is an important figure in modern cinema history - industry folks would agree. Maybe you can help me understand, because I'm not sure why this particular point is at issue -- please see the first two references in the article. If we can get to a place of agreement on that (let me know what else you need), maybe you can help me trim this piece to get to an acceptable place?

Bikejournalist, the primary issue here is that having read through the provided sources and looked for more online, I wasn't able to find enough coverage to meet WP:GNG. If better sources can't be found, no amount of editing is going to rescue the article. The issues about neutrality and original research are secondary. _signed,Rosguill ^talk 00:16, 28 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Delete apart from the sources issue, this is a very promotional piece as per WP:PROMO that would qualify for G11 imv Atlantic306 (talk) 21:55, 31 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
