apparent lack of significant coverage other than her relation to Elliot Page. For example, a quick search of her name in Google adding "-Elliot" "-Page" shows mostly self-published in the top result and a series of pages that are not WP:RS. Dentren | ^Talk 17:19, 15 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Delete or merge to Elliot Page. Almost all the coverage out there is about her and Elliot Page. Try doing an image search for Emma Portner: 99% of the images returned are of her and Elliot Page. She is not independently notable.--- Possibly (talk) 18:53, 15 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Delete: not independently notable. St Anselm (talk) 19:16, 15 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Portner does not meet notability guidelines. Necessary information can be mentioned on Page's article, WP:GNG. Abbyjjjj96 (talk) 23:55, 16 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Delete: I agree with all the above, I think the article should either be deleted or do a Merge into Elliot Page. - 𓋹 𝓩𝓲𝓪𝓭 𝓡𝓪𝓼𝓱𝓪𝓭 𓋹 [user | talk] 12:01, 17 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Delete: Not independently notable, fails GNG. Setreis (talk) 17:29, 17 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Keep: Portner has choreographed major productions on Broadway and for music, including a Justin Bieber world tour, and has been written covered, independent of Page, in dance magazines. As choreographers go, she is high-profile. --Tenebrae (talk) 14:25, 19 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
- Dance Spirit (now Dance Magazine), noting her dancing for an Apple Watch campaign, calls her "trailblazing jack-of-all-styles" - https://www.dancespirit.com/emma-portner-2640322032.html
- Her work has been presented at the Guggenheim Museum, one world's top cultural institutions - https://www.dance-enthusiast.com/dance-listings/events/view/Works-Process-at-the-Guggenheim-presents-Emma-Portner-with-Hubbard-Street-Dance-Chicago-Third-Coast-Percussion-and-Anne-Pla-2018/
- Her work has been presented internationally, including at the major Swiss institutions the Beyeler Foundation - https://www.fondationbeyeler.ch/fr/emma-portner-filmpremiere-femme-debout-und-tanz-performance
- And anyone who knows dance knows that choreographing/performing at Jacob's Pillow is a big deal - https://danceinteractive.jacobspillow.org/playlists/embedded-trios/#4
- These are what I found in I think less than 10 minutes, hardly an exhaustive search. Portner was a star in the dance world before her being with a celebrity made her known to the mainstream. --Tenebrae (talk) 14:36, 19 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - No question she passes the GNG with these features about her that are already in the article. [1][2][3] Morbidthoughts (talk) 00:36, 21 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - Not the most famous of choreographers but notable enough, and likely to be erased or subsumed if incorporated into spouse's article. Rorybowman (talk) 05:10, 21 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - AfD nomination undervalues notability WP:PERSON per Tenebrae's summary. Adhib (talk) 09:23, 21 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Emma Portner is a current figure in popular culture as a result of her public divorce from her celebrity wife. What purpose is there in deleting this page when it is likely to be used? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Maxxy452 (talk • contribs) 13:05, 21 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
