This article went through AFD a few weeks ago amid concerns of its notability, but was kept after a debate in which several people (myself included) successfully argued for its retention, and a significant number of news articles were collected to show ongoing coverage. However, since then new information has come to light which suggests a second debate is necessary. Most significantly, at least two users, Jayen466 and SlimVirgin have been contacted by someone with a connection to the subject who has indicated the article contains inaccuracies. I believe that information has now been removed, and although as far as I am aware, nobody has requested the removal of the article itself, concerns have been raised by SlimVirgin and Alison as to its appropriateness. I won't lose any sleep if this debate closes as delete, though I'd hate to be the cause of a shitstorm, so I'm presenting this again for the opinion of the wider Wikipedia community. Over to you.

* Delete I can see nothing that makes this event notable in any encylopedic sense. The woman went missing; her body was found; people have been arrested for fraud in connection with the murder.

For a "Death of X" article to be notable enough, there would normally be a public interest issue (public interest in the sense of public well-being), or such intense and protracted news coverage that it would be hard to ignore. The question is whether there is enduring notability – whether the death and its consequences will still be an issue for the public in several years' time. That doesn't seem to be the case here at the moment, so I would say the article fails WP:NOTNEWSPAPER. SlimVirgin (talk) 17:17, 6 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The result was keep. This is a tricky case because it involves the concept of inherited notability, which is usually frowned upon in Wikipedia. However, there seems to be a reasonable argument that inherited notability does apply, as both parent and daughter articles are notable. Additionally, there haven't been any deletion arguments advanced other than from the nominator, so "keep" seems a reasonable choice. This result should not preclude the result of future discussions of exactly how the notability of articles like these should be construed from the sources, however. — Mr. Stradivarius (have a chat) 10:15, 14 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I've watched this article develop, hoping that it would improve from being nothing more than a puff piece/homage to an acting coach, but that hasn't happened. As an actress, even the article admits most of her parts are very minor and often cut during the editing process. She simply doesn't pass WP:NACTORS. Her single attempt at directing involved a largely ignored film (limited release, grossing under $300K) and doesn't apprear to get her past WP:FILMMAKER. Her main claim to "fame" seems to be as an acting coach and the article extensively name-drops a bunch of notable people. The editor painstakingly lists the mentions of her name in the sources, however that is the problem, they are mentions. Admittedly I have not reviewed every single one of the sources, but every one I have reviewed is a mere mention. I'm not seeing the significant coverage required to get her past WP:N. While not a reason for deletion, this article, if kept, would need a complete overhaul to get rid of all the fawning and the overly promotional tone of the article.
