[edit] Sheila Callaghan

• DELETE Other than a review by the NY Times...I have a notability issue. The author says that she is respected in the industry - fine..but on a national/world scale, we have not seen this yet. just my 2c 4.18GB 12:33, 25 October 2006 (UTC)

• This AfD nomination was incomplete. It is listed now. DumbBOT 20:25, 25 October 2006 (UTC)

• KEEP There are a lot of reviews in a lot of newspapers. Some are online: http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?file=/c/a/2006/07/01/DDGL5JMVEL1.DTL&type=printable and http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/theaterarts/2002529273_dram30.html for example. At the subject's website I found quotes from dozens of reviews, and I'm going to go out on a limb and say she didn't make them up :) Felisse 21:45, 25 October 2006 (UTC) (Bwithh - Perhaps, but it was all I had to go on: the guidelines for People, notability, at time of me writing this says: "Published authors, editors and photographers who received multiple independent reviews of or awards for their work."

• Sheila in August 2006:"The woman even has her own Wikipedia entry.". It's not that hard, dahling... really, it's not that hard at all.... I'm neutral at the moment except to say that news coverage or published reviews - even in major publications - do not automatically make for encyclopedic notability Bwithh 01:23, 26 October 2006 (UTC)
• Keep. Passes the notability bar for me. Regional notability does not exclude someone from having an article, especially when said region is the 3rd or 4th largest city in the world. 23skidoo 05:16, 26 October 2006 (UTC)
