Delete - As the nominator for PROD. Even though most of her work is for theatre, and IMDb isn’t a great indicator for that, it’s clear that her theatre career has not generated sufficient substantial coverage to meet WP:GNG Cardiffbear88 (talk) 08:53, 12 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Keep: I've added a number of references and a few more roles; she's received a number of good reviews for her mostly leading roles Piecesofuk (talk) 10:17, 12 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The citations that are accessible mention subject only in passing, and include primary sources (thisistheatre; a cast listing; and the EvStandard article merely a show announcement) and one permanent dead link. Not enough to establish notability. sixtynine ^{• whaddya want? •} 20:54, 12 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I reviewed the sources. It is inaccurate to say that the reviews that talk about Gibb's performance and include a quote from her mention her only in passing. DiamondRemley39 (talk) 21:40, 12 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Keep as meets WP:NACTOR #1 for various theatre roles. I checked out some of the sources listed by another editor and found some of my own. There is this significant coverage in the article and more. DiamondRemley39 (talk) 22:09, 12 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Keep as the article has been significantly improved since its nomination when it was unreferenced with the addition of multiple reliable sources references that confirm that Gibb has had a number of leading roles in notable theatre productions and therefore passes WP:NACTOR and deserves to be included, in my view, Atlantic306 (talk) 21:09, 13 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Keep: I looked at some of the sources that have been added, and Gibb is often singled out as the lead actress in a play, even when no other actors are mentioned. — Toughpigs (talk) 19:02, 15 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Notable actress who has had several significant roles in West End productions. -- Ssilvers (talk) 05:19, 16 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Multiple leads in multiple West End musicals. Softlavender (talk) 11:45, 16 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. As an actor, she's had significant roles in high-profile musicals and the linked sources seem to be on the up and up. EverybodyEdits (talk) 22:38, 16 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per WP:NACTOR - multiple leads in film and stage. Bearian (talk) 21:12, 17 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
