Keep I disagree that there is a lack of independent content as the majority of the references are sourced from independent and reputable New Zealand newspapers or news websites. Also, given she's starred in Shortland Street, one of New Zealand's most high profile television programmes, as well as the fact she has won awards at one of New Zealands top Theatre Awards ceremonies (both as an actor and director), in my opinion she has met the notability guidelines for an actor. In light of this I am in favour of keeping this article. - Ambrosia10 (talk) 05:26, 4 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - I disagree that there's a lack of independent sources. Several articles listed are from the NZ Herald, which is a leading NZ newspaper and its articles are independent. I also disagree that the subject doesn't meet the notability criteria, as per Ambrosia10's statements above. MurielMary (talk) 08:37, 4 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Keep I've had a look at the news sources. What we've got is an almost complete set of the main New Zealand outlets: The New Zealand Herald (four, but we can discount one as she was the author), Stuff (two), Otago Daily Times, Radio New Zealand and The Spinoff. The only major outfit that is missing is Newshub. One of the NZ Herald articles ("Life after Shanti") deals with her in depth. Most have a photo of her. So without even looking at the awards that she has won, news coverage alone shows that WP:GNG has been achieved. Schwede 66 17:57, 4 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Keep: Clearly notable and cited to independent sources. Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 20:07, 4 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Keep: The additional references and content added since the stub was created yesterday mean that the article clearly meets the requirements for independent sources. The notability of the actor is established through her significant role over three years in the long-running, well-known and popular New Zealand soap opera Shortland Street.Marshelec (talk) 21:43, 4 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Keep: This subject is notable as an actor with a fanbase and in the creation of new work as a director and creative as indicated in the article. She was identified for an article on the Wikimedia Foundation funded Performing Arts Aotearoa Wikiproject. Pakoire (talk) 21:59, 4 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Keep: Subject is notable and sources are independent. DrThneed (talk) 00:49, 5 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per WP:HEY, WP:BASIC, and WP:NACTOR; the article has been improved, there is in-depth coverage of her, her career, her fanbase, and biographical information, e.g. New Zealand Herald (2010), and multiple independent and reliable sources reporting on and reviewing other significant roles in multiple notable productions, e.g. Stuff (2012), Stuff (2015), Otago Daily Times (2015); additional support for WP:BASIC notabiity includes coverage of her work on Working On My Night Moves, e.g. Guardian (2019), The Spinoff (2019).
