Per WP:BIO and WP:COI. The page was created by the subject's husband, as someone pointed out and the husband confirmed on the talk page. This is his only contribution. Previously {{{prod}}}ed by User:Calton, husband removed {{{prod}}}. No doubt the subject is a talented writer, but the sole claimed reference to notability is in being part of a 17-member writing team that won an emmy award. This AfD is not meant to disparage the subject but WP:BIO has not been met and the page most probably wouldn't be present in the first place without WP:COI.

Keep There is a pretty solid profile piece at [1] as an additional source. I would think being the only female on the writing staff at TDS would also meet WP:NOT, but I would feel better with more sources. Jim Miller (talk) 22:31, 4 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. Good find, but that is a college newspaper article from the school that she apparently went to. Speaking at your college and having the visit covered by the student newspaper in my opinion do not meet WP:BIO. I agree that being the only female writer at TDS could possibly be notable, but that fact is not true, according to the IMDB credits [2]. The only sourced claim is that she was the only female writer when a particular emmy was awarded, but IMDB says TDS has had other female writers, even earlier than she. I do not think having a job on the large writing staff of TDS is enough for WP:NOT alone. I find the COI significant here also. ~ Antiselfpromotion (talk) 22:51, 4 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Subject falls behind line of notability IMO: Emmy and other noms were for the entire writing staff, not her alone; she was part of a 17-person team and it's not as if she has any individual credits such as in a serial or sitcom. Having said that, I don't see COI coming into this because AfD's not for cleanup - how hard would it be to do a little rewrite? —97198 talk 13:27, 8 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
