• Delete.Keep NZ Herald has dozens of articles that mention the subject: "Renae Maihi" site:https://www.nzherald.co.nz. But they are all about the defamation lawsuit, an issue that should be dealt with at

@Whisperjanes: Can you please point our those sources here and explain how they support notability? Thank you. GSS ^💬 18:43, 14 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

WP:SUSTAINED mentions "sustained coverage is an indicator of notability." She does seem to be notable in New Zealand for the Bob Jones events (which don't seem internationally notable, but seems to be notable in New Zealand, especially in the Maori community), so if one reason for deletion is that sources only cover her in that one event, then it's important to note that there has also been coverage of her film-making. She seems notable in New Zealand for not just Bob Jones, but also her work. -- Whisperjanes (talk) 21:30, 14 February 2020 (UTC)[reply

• Keep Honestly, neither the petition nor the coverage of her films would be enough on their own to support notability, but taken altogether she more than meets requirements for notability. IphisOfCrete (talk) 20:00, 14 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Adding to this thought, although it appears that her petition against Bob Jones and his subsequent defamation suit against her may have increased her profile, she has nonetheless received numerous awards and her films have screened at a number of international film festivals.IphisOfCrete (talk) 20:11, 14 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep I have to disagree with
  WP:WEIGHT, although I see another editor IphisOfCrete is in the process of expanding the film career of the subject. Maihi's career in combination with court case passes the notability threshold with ease. Should consensus fall otherwise (which I consider highly unlikely), we should turn the court case into a standalone article. Schwede66 20:36, 14 February 2020 (UTC)[reply

• Keep as per huge coverage across dozens of sources in New Zealand in the last eight weeks.

• Keep. Obvious to me after reading the article and seeing the comments above. I'm puzzled why, when 17 minutes after being created as a new article, this was moved to draft space as a "possible
  WP:TOU violation". I couldn't see a violation, but then.... Later after being restored in articlespace, the AfD tag was placed on it when [[expand]] could have been more useful IMMHO. No mind, it clearly justifies being kept.Moriori (talk) 22:56, 14 February 2020 (UTC)[reply

  • The original creation may have been as an auto-biography, and was an 100% an appropriate move (and infinitely preferred to deletion options). As for the current discussion, I invite
