Does not meet WP:BIO as no secondary references to importance given. Ctempleton3 (talk) 05:49, 1 April 2008 (UTC)

  • Weak keep, there are few sources online but most of her dancing career was in the 1980s, and artistic director at the National Theatre, Melbourne is probably one of the handful of most influential positions in Australian ballet. --Dhartung | Talk 06:38, 1 April 2008 (UTC)

  • Keep No reason to doubt that sources can be found. -- Mattinbgn\talk 19:59, 1 April 2008 (UTC)
  • Keep Google shows up a few potential sources. This is unlikely to become a complehensive bio, but there is info out there. -- Mark Chovain 00:41, 2 April 2008 (UTC)
  • Keep Am article author. I wrote this article after others had added her name to two other articles, so I was trying to eliminate red links. I'm sure other information will be added in the future by those with access to other, non-internet, sources. Notable because she danced the lead for the English National Ballet, in ballet terms the equivalent of a lead in a Hollywood film, and is now the artistic director of the National Theatre, Melbourne, a notable cultural institution. --Michael Johnson (talk) 00:46, 2 April 2008 (UTC)
  • Keep, a simple Google search shows a few promising leads for reliable sources. Lankiveil (speak to me) 11:12, 3 April 2008 (UTC).
  • Keep. The reference in the article provides verification, and it really makes me despair of Wikipedia when I see that that anyone could question that the artistic director of the National Theatre in Melbourne should have an article when we give notability to hundreds of articles about minor elements of the Star Wars Universe. Is this supposed to be a serious encyclopedia or not? Phil Bridger (talk) 20:38, 3 April 2008 (UTC)
    • In fairness, we really don't give all that much coverage to minor elements of the Star Wars universe. Or major elements. There are better notability grievances out there. -LtNOWIS (talk) 07:47, 4 April 2008 (UTC)
