Related to some notable people but not notable herself, only minor acting career. PatGallacher (talk) 12:23, 28 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Actors and filmmakers, Women, and England. Shellwood (talk) 13:59, 28 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
If not found notable, redirect to Barry_Humphries#Personal_life. PamD 07:19, 29 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Keep I think she's notable enough for Wikipedia: actress and writer, some example sources: Five page article in House & Garden August 2015, article in Sunday Independent (Dublin) - Sunday 25 September 2005, Daily Mirror - Tuesday 28 February 1989 and Sunday Telegraph August 28, 2005 Piecesofuk (talk) 15:51, 29 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
- It would help if these sources were fully integrated into the article. PatGallacher (talk) 19:59, 29 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per sources identified by Piecesofuk. pburka (talk) 17:50, 29 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Agree with Piecesofuk. Jaireeodell (talk) 00:11, 30 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Agree with Piecesofuk. Why are some editors against pages on women? An Encyclopedia should be inclusive. This actor may not be an A-lister but has appeared in some major films and the article has plenty of references to back that up. Brian R Hunter (talk) 19:59, 5 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Also, I am not convinced that the page should have been renamed. As a notable person, the page title should be her professional name and not her abbreviated name, Lizzie is only used in links relating to her personal life. The BFI page [1] uses Elizabeth Spender.

- fyi, from WP:AFDEQ:
  While there is no prohibition against moving an article while an AfD or deletion review discussion is in progress, editors considering doing so should realize such a move can confuse the discussion greatly, can preempt a closing decision, can make the discussion difficult to track, and can lead to inconsistencies when using semi-automated closing scripts.
