No claim of significance per WP:GNG. Sheldybett (talk) 02:41, 18 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. More than sufficient notability. The 23 inline cites appended to the article confirm that subject enjoyed celebrity status in her time as a performer and received considerable coverage in the press. Roman Spinner (talk • contribs) 03:04, 18 November 2018 (UTC).[reply]

Comment I noticed that this article had been PRODed, and started trying to find and add more references that provide evidence that she was famous in her time (WP:NTEMP), intending to remove the PROD after that. I have added references as I find them, and will prune to the most useful (in case anyone thinks WP:CITEKILL). Now it has been AfDed, I hope it has enough to meet WP:GNG, but will continue to work on it. RebeccaGreen (talk) 03:22, 18 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Keep nice sourcing, RebeccaGreen. I found her obituary and an article about her from 1975 which I added. She passes GNG. Megalibrarygirl (talk) 17:58, 18 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Keep As per improved article and referencing. Looks like insufficient WP:BEFORE. Aoziwe (talk) 04:21, 19 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Keep as per WP:HEY, many additional references have been added to the article to show that the subject has received significant coverage in multiple reliable sources so that WP:Basic is passed, thanks Atlantic306 (talk) 17:45, 24 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
