Subject does not appear to meet WP:GNG. The article has many references but they boil down to her university's website, her personal website, a blog post, websites for various local awards she has won, and a distribution website for her films, which in sum do not establish notability.

~~Comment~~ Keep The Gemini award for Made in China appears to be the Canadian equivalent of a BAFTA at the time. It is possible the award may be enough. It did validate at their website. PainProf (talk) 00:56, 10 July 2020 (UTC) Amend comment to Keep, the substantial improvements to the article and the apparent consensus that a Gemini is a notable award mean this artist passes WP:GNG.

Delete not notable as a filmmaker or an academic.John Pack Lambert (talk) 13:01, 10 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete A Gemini is a notable Canadian award, but she hasn't really done much else, it would be better to create an article on the film that won the award and mention her there. Oaktree b (talk) 02:58, 11 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Comment I've attempted a major overhaul of the article, with reliable sources. - MapleSoy (talk) 06:13, 16 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. With the additional details and sources, the article now meets basic notability.--Ipigott (talk) 09:50, 16 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. WP:ARTIST 4c reads :"The person's work ... has ... won significant critical attention". The Gemini award seems to me to have the qualities of significant critical attention. I would expect to be able to read about Bafta winners in an encyclopedia. I think Canadians (and indeed the curious rest of us) would expect to be able to read about Gemini Awards winners in an encyclopedia. It's a pity that, having honed an articulation of notability requirements over the years, we find AfDs where the thrust of the exercise appears to be finding reasons why we are not willing to adhere to those articulated requirements. --Tagishsimon (talk) 12:24, 16 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. If I understand WP:WDAFD correctly I can't withdraw the nomination as there have been several Delete votes. However I'm convinced by the argument that winning a 2001 Gemini Award is sufficient to meet WP:GNG. --Iafisher (talk) 15:52, 16 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

Weak keep based on the Gemini Award. -Kj cheetham (talk) 08:21, 19 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per WP:ANYBIO #1. I echo the comments of Tagishsimon regarding AfD discussions. DiamondRemley39 (talk) 11:21, 19 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Keep: I'm not sure why this was relisted; the nominator agreed that the nomination was incorrect, and the Delete votes have no real content (per nom, non notable). — Toughpigs (talk) 16:52, 19 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
