I'm not convinced this person meets the notability guidelines for professors. For a start, all appointments listed seem of local or regional interest only, no prestigious positions in Wikipedia terms are listed, and comparison of her Google Scholar results with the archived list of her research publications doesn't show any heavily cited work.

Comment as creator: I'm currently WP:TBAN from BLPs so it would be inappropriate for me to comment in this discussion, but I am aware of it. Stuartyeates (talk) 04:29, 9 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Weak Delete but pending based on whether "New Zealand Federation of Film Societies" is a significant enough organization that Presidency is considered an acknowledgement of significant reputation in the field. The TEU meritorious service award is not sufficient in itself (Life Membership would definitely be, and the TEU Excellence Award might be, but the meritorious service award is for supporting staff at the branch level). On the other hand, not harming the encyclopedia and not overtly promotional, and in an area that we have systemic bias problems against (women in film), but there's just not enough here yet to override the WP:PROF or GNG guidelines against keeping. -- Michael Scott Asato Cuthbert (talk) 21:39, 10 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
- I'd be leaning towards no regarding the New Zealand Federation of Film Societies, per the description on its "about" page and the fact that its only other mentions on Wikipedia are in the article about the [[New Zealand International Film Festival, the Film society page, and the page about the playwright Campbell Smith, whose notability seems to rest on other things.

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

Delete. I'm not seeing anything that rises to the level of notability here. Certainly no pass of WP:PROF and we have no evidence of the kind of sourcing needed to pass WP:GNG. —David Eppstein (talk) 19:59, 16 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
