Non-notable director, media coverage cited by the article is either from film festival listings (not independent), softball interviews for publicity (also not independent). Google searches through English and Hebrew media uncovered much the same, alongside some mere mentions in Haaretz and Mako for screening (but not winning) at Cannes. Does not meet general notability guideline. Meishar has won a "Spotlight Gold Award" from the Spotlight Short Film Festival, but this award does not appear to be notable and thus does not satisfy subject-specific notability guideline for creative professionals. Reportage in the Mako link above (not mentioned by the article) claims that her films have won some awards at Israeli film festivals which also appear to be non-notable. I had previously nominated the article for deletion by PROD but was blocked by the article creator, who then provided additional sources. However, these sources were more of the same sort of coverage in film-festival publicity websites and cannot be considered independent. I pinged the article creator on the talk page requesting better sources, and have not received a response. _signed,Rosguill ^talk 18:41, 20 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - her films pass GNG, she does not. LittlePuppers (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 00:07, 27 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Delete The article fails WP:GNG and WP:TOOSOON because she lacks WP:SIGCOV proving notability, but may become a notable director in the future. The sources in the article and found in a search I did are all either WP:ROUTINE coverage or are not independent of the articles subject. The possibility of her becoming a notable director, writer or producer in the future is pure WP:CRYSTALBALL and does nothing to help demonstrate her notability now.
