Subject does not appear to meet GNG. None of the article's current sources contribute to notability, all being interviews, promotional pieces about the subject's work, or passing mentions. I was unable to find any independent significant coverage in a BEFORE search. Perhaps a small amount of the content could be merged into her mother's page (Janey Godley) but most of it is off-topic there. CodeTalker (talk) 22:40, 7 November 2024 (UTC)

- The subject of the article is notable, and has been in the public eye with cocomitant media attention for decades. Youngest Edinburgh Fringe performer with her own show, BBC presenter, co-creator and star of a BBC television show. The article should be retained.
- @CodeTalker has admitted on the article talk page to not knowing who the subject is -- all the other editors of the page at least know that -- and the amount of effort he (it just has to be a he) is expending here is concerning. Lloyd Wood (talk) 23:11, 7 November 2024 (UTC)
Comment - The article was originally a redirect to Godley's page. Part of why I never actually finished drafting the article was because pretty much everything I was finding was interviews and the likes. Also @Lloyd Wood:, please bear in mind WP:CANVASS. Posting heavily-worded comments on other Wikipedias as ye did here tends to be frowned upon CiphriusKane (talk) 23:35, 7 November 2024 (UTC)
Delete based on source analysis. Her being the youngest Edinburgh fringe performer (what an obscure claim to notability), alongside hosting a BBC tv show does not create notability, sourcing does. Also @Llyod Wood I advise you to keep discussion focused on the subject and her notability. Traumnovelle (talk) 00:15, 8 November 2024 (UTC)
Keep, the table indicates three sources which the nom has grudgingly labelled 'partial' when it appears to be 'yes', has dismissed three as non-independent due to containing content of an interview but are actually standard articles focused purely on the subject over which she presumably had no editorial control, and has misrepresented one on 'an award won by a show that the subject appears in', it was actually a nomination but in fact three nominations as writer, actor and for the show itself. Crowsus (talk) 00:40, 8 November 2024 (UTC)
Keep The Edinburgh Fringe example was just to show that the subject has been in the public eye for decades. The subject has hosted multiple BBC radio shows and has starred in multiple BBC television and radio shows, so @Traumnovelle's description was misleading. Speaking of accuracy, @Traumnovelle do note your typo of my name. Lloyd Wood (talk) 00:49, 8 November 2024 (UTC)
