Lack of notability Revirvlkodlaku (talk) 14:51, 18 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Keep While the article needs more references, even a cursory Google search reveals scores of reliable, independent, secondary sources that clearly demonstrate notability under WP:GNG and WP:GNGACTOR. This isn't a close question. Banks Irk (talk) 15:03, 18 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. I agree with Banks Irk, just typing "Anna Gutto" to the Google and there is a big list in the "News" section, seems to be pretty notable. @Revirvlkodlaku:, are you sure you've done a proper WP:BEFORE? Deltaspace⁴² (talk • contribs) 20:49, 18 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. This article is the most repetitive one I have ever seen on Wikipedia. -- Ssilvers (talk) 21:13, 18 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Some helpful rewriting has been done. The theatre section should be streamlined more, more dates need to be added everywhere, and it should be made clear that her film career is more noteworthy than her rather WP:MILL theatre work. -- Ssilvers (talk) 19:35, 19 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Lots of recent coverage about the feature film Paradise Highway she wrote and directed, which for some reason is only mentioned in the article as a screenplay (needs updating). Reviews include Variety (saying it "is a singularly promising debut for a first-time feature filmmaker") and mostly negative reviews from other notable outlets including NY Times and Rogerebert.com. My sense is that she meets WP:FILMMAKER; agree with others though that the article is in poor shape. Chocmilk03 (talk) 22:01, 18 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - A Google search shows this is a notable artist. The sources are out there, and need to be added to this article. I've done a few, but more is needed. The issue is not lack of notability, but adding the available sourcing to the narrative. — Maile (talk) 15:08, 19 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Keep: Per WP:NDIRECTOR and above replies.

Keep per WP:GNG and WP:HEY. Make no mistake, this article was in horrendous shape when it was first nominated for deletion, and much of the article needed to be cut as it was incredibly repetitive (per above comment) and many passages were unreferenced. Many editors have since contributed to improving the article, which easily satisfies notability criteria per sources now cited, such as this feature article in Norwegian newspaper Aftenposten; the Paradise Highway review in Variety (which discusses Gutto's direction); and the review on RogerEbert.com, which analyzes Gutto's writing and direction in detail. There are many other sources cited discussing other aspects of her multi-faceted career as a film director, writer, actor, and translator. Cielquiparle (talk) 20:21, 22 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Clearly has significant coverage in reliable sources. Recent edits by Cielquiparle have drastically improved the article. --Grnrchst (talk) 15:24, 23 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
