Work not widely known. Media coverage is only internet and the page subject is rarely the article subject. Still early in career. Seemingly no contributions to permanent collections. Style of article suggests potentially promotional intent. Cleoera (talk) 17:15, 3 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Seems notable with The Observer article saying "Frances Bodomo, the award-winning filmmaker behind Afronauts and Boneshaker" and The Guardian saying "The Ghanaian film-maker Frances Bodomo directed four episodes; the “tonality”, Nance says, of her short sci-fi film Afronauts (about the Zambian space program in the 1960s) is reflected in his own taste for the surreal". I'd say she is on the rise and deleting the article doesn't make much sense. One just needs to search Google News. --Gprscrippers (talk) 17:28, 3 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Basic Criteria in Wikipedia:Notability (people) demonstrates the two cited sources are not adequate. Both mention the subject in passing. "If the depth of coverage in any given source is not substantial, then multiple independent sources may be combined to demonstrate notability; trivial coverage of a subject by secondary sources may not be sufficient to establish notability." The typical amalgamation of minor sources in the establishment of notability does not seem to be present. Cleoera (talk) 18:41, 3 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Keep – Article needs work but subject present in multiple independent and notable sources for a variety of contributions. —Joeyconnick (talk) 00:55, 4 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
