Fails WP:GNG. Being the parent of a crime victim doesn’t confer notability. KidAd • SPEAK 06:15, 10 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. An article about the murder of Jeremy Guillory might have a case to make for notability, but an article about the mother of the victim does not. Surachit (talk) 23:49, 13 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Keep and move to Lorilei. She's the subject of a notable play (The Guardian (London), The News (Lahore), BBC (London)) and the page could be trivially rewritten to focus on the play. pburka (talk) 21:27, 14 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. @KidAd, Johnpacklambert, and Surachit: would any of you support renaming the article to Lorilei and changing the lead to focus on the play? I've already added relevant content about the play to the current page. pburka (talk) 20:37, 24 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Are there enough sources for the play to meet WP:GNG? I don't know if theatrical works have notability standards, but Loreli seems a bit obscure to have its own page. KidAd • SPEAK 20:50, 24 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

There are three independent reviews of the play referenced in the article currently (all from major newspapers), and its radio adaptation won a Sony Radio Academy Award in 2007. It was also reviewed in Dawn, The Express Tribune, The Nation (Pakistan) and The Theatre Record. I'm not sure that we have subject-specific guidelines for plays, but generally multiple reviews indicate notability for creative works (see WP:NFILM, WP:NALBUM and WP:NBOOK). I'm convinced these are more than enough for WP:GNG. pburka (talk) 21:12, 24 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Considering the whole focus is really on the play, and this is really a coatracking to get in information on the play, it would be better to rename the article.John Pack Lambert (talk) 12:04, 26 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
