Try and stick with me on this one as it might get a bit hairy. I don't believe this page passes WP:BIO. The sources given are only links to the specific festivals, none of which seem to be very notable in themselves. Also, the "gay twist" presents a bit of a NPOV problem in the beginning of the article. Her albums are non notable as they are not connected with a major company so that fails WP:BAND. Her written works have recieved little to no coverage so the article fails in that aspect too. There are no citations given too. Delete Undeath (talk) 21:08, 6 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep: Has written plays, received awards, released records &c. "Her written works have received little to no coverage": Coverage of Clean Irene and Dirty Maxine, Coverage of Francis Mathilda & Tea I don't suppose she is a major figure and the article is badly written but no reason for deletion.

- Keep. I immediately recognized the name. Has won non-trivial awards and is widely known. Article needs some revamping, but that's a content issue. 23skidoo (talk) 14:15, 7 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

- Keep. Article does need some cleanup, certainly, but valid sources are available. Bearcat (talk) 23:51, 7 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- The nom did not make clear what search strategy was used for researching in advance of this AfD. There are articles in The Georgia Straight [1] Vue Weekly [2] Xtra! [3] the Edmonton Journal [4] the Toronto Star [5] – all found with a quick glance at Google News search results. Keep per WP:N, or WP:BIO#Basic criteria.
