Lacks evidence of notability. Owen (talk) 23:33, 3 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. WP:BLP, No sources listed other than an IMDB which cites one non-notable film and research gives no reliable source. JuliaCameron (talk) 00:16, 4 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete and redirect to She's a Boy I Knew. Filmmakers are not automatically entitled to Wikipedia WP:BLPs just because they exist, but the depth of reliable sourcing needed to get her in the door just isn't there. I searched both Google and ProQuest, and found only glancing namechecks of her existence rather than substantive coverage about her. There's actually a much stronger case for an article about She's a Boy I Knew itself (this article actually missed its biggest WP:NFILM slamdunk) than there is for a BLP of her as a person — and given that the film itself is an autobiographical documentary, an article about the film would already include a bit of biographical detail about her anyway without requiring two separate articles to coexist, and there's not much value in retaining the edit history of such a poorly sourced BLP.

• The person also did net solo coverage when Gwen chosen as grandmarshal of Vancouver's pride parade, as seen here. Shawn in Montreal (talk) 21:43, 11 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Being named grand marshal of a parade isn't really a distinction that clears the notability bar in and of itself, and that article isn't a particularly strong GNG pass either — it represents her giving soundbite about other things, rather than an article that's actually covering her as a subject of the piece, and it's pretty WP:ROUTINE since Vancouver's local media would be pretty much expected to be running articles like that just before Vancouver's local Pride.
