The article in its current state conflates three distinct individuals; Miller the British actress, Miller the casting director on ER and the West Wing, and a third individual who went missing in 1989. There aren't enough sources outside of IMDB to support to first two, and the third has news coverage but doesn't seem to be notable enough on the disappearance alone.
If someone can find RS for the British actress (presumably the original subject) that would be ideal otherwise I think deletion would be the least confusing move that maintains sourcing standards. Qzd (talk) 18:09, 3 October 2018 (UTC)

- Comment Barbara Miller the casting director appears to be notable; 4 Emmy wins, obituaries such as [1], and a published interview should be enough. This article was created as a composite profile of multiple people; a WP:TNT deletion and replacement with a set-index page may be needed. power~enwiki (π, ν) 02:03, 4 October 2018 (UTC)

- Delete. This article is so confused that it has Barbara Miller going missing in 1989, dying in 1990, and yet winning Emmy Awards for casting The West Wing, a TV show that debuted in 1999. This isn't an example of later contributors building the Frankenstein; the very first edit creating this article had this confusion. I recommend deleting the article and starting over due to the severe confusion here. This deletion would be without prejudice to the creation of an article about the casting director, who apparently did win 4 Emmys in her own right. (It would also be without prejudice to the creation of articles about the other two women, but I'm less certain that they are notable.) --Metropolitan90 (talk) 02:56, 10 October 2018 (UTC)
