I could not find significant coverage searching under "Rosemarie Gillespie", "Rosemary Gillespie" and "Waratah Rose" in google news and google books. As well as Australian database trove. Fails WP:BIO. LibStar (talk) 23:16, 19 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Keep: I found coverage of her on news sites as an author and human rights activist for PNG, Fiji and Indigenous Australians and citations of her books and articles. I can show her notability by expanding her article and adding more references over the next week so please do not delete. LPascal (talk) 01:07, 20 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Substantial coverage in a range of sources, not least the parliamentary debate where the speaker says she " is well known to this country through her activism in the South Pacific and her current role in Bougainville, which has been going on for some time."

I note that the article has been substantially upgraded and many more sources added since the nomination, and invite the nominator to consider withdrawing the AfD now that Gillespie's notability is better demonstrated. PamD 08:26, 20 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. I agree. This article should be kept. Bduke (talk) 08:33, 20 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
