Non-notable comedian. Did not win any awards; the one award for which she was nominated was not an individual award, but rather one shared with 10 other people (nor was she the head writer), and she did not win. RJC ^Talk 02:51, 14 January 2008 (UTC)

• Keep. Emmy award nominations, worked on Roseanne, apparently actively working in a play according to her web site. Article does provide some references. Satisfies WP:BIO. Redfarmer (talk) 03:13, 14 January 2008 (UTC)
• Keep might be early for this person by some standards, having an Emmy nomination does indicate she has talent that is recognized within her industry. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Stevethompson76051 (talk • contribs) 03:17, 14 January 2008
• Speedy Keep. Delete Per above - this certainly meets WP:BIO. Emmy awards, published books etc..etc... A more elaborate google search turns up mostly primary sources and no significant secondary coverage. Wisdom89 (talk) 04:08, 14 January 2008 (UTC)
  • Bio covers winning awards, not just being nominated. TJ Spyke 04:36, 14 January 2008 (UTC)
    • Very true, that much the better as support for keep. Wisdom89 (talk) 05:44, 14 January 2008 (UTC)
      • I meant that just being nominate for an award doesn't make someone notable, and she was only nominated (didn't win). I'm not voting, just pointing out that she doesn't pass that part of WP:BIO. TJ Spyke 06:04, 14 January 2008 (UTC)
      • I would also add that she was not individually nominated: the writers of the Rosie O'Donnell Show were (it seems there was a team of eleven). I think that the fact that she was not the head writer lessens the importance of this nomination: it wasn't an industry recognition of her particular talents. The fact that she is still active and has a play doesn't make her notable unless she is creating some significant media attention. RJC ^Talk 06:11, 14 January 2008 (UTC)
• Keep She has written for at least two major shows, that along with the award and being part of the team that was nominated for the Daytime Emmy (sure it was a team of 11, but that makes the team significant, so adds to her significance). Random Fixer Of Things (talk) 01:52, 15 January 2008 (UTC)

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so that consensus may be reached.

• Keep It's a little out of context, but if you look at WP:MUSIC as having similar notability requirements to general entertainment ones, just being nominated for a major award counts for notability. A logical translation of that to television implies that she should meet notability. matt91486 (talk) 00:05, 21 January 2008 (UTC)
