While there's lots of citations provided, they aren't to independent, reliable sources, and thus this does not meet WP:GNG. Searching online didn't turn up anything better. Since the last nomination and deletion, the subject appears to have won an award at "Headwaters New Play Festival at Creede Repertory", which I don't think is enough for WP:ANYBIO. I chose to bring this to AfD instead of CSD because this was written as part of a university course, and thus is likely to be a substantially different article than the article previously deleted, although it ultimately seems to suffer from the same problems. signed, Rosguill talk 02:55, 12 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment I can't find much either, unfortunately. She certainly doesn't meet WP:NACTOR, as she's had no significant roles in notable shows. Whether she meets WP:AUTHOR or WP:BASIC would depend on if the sources where coverage is found are considered WP:RELIABLE, and I'm not sure that any are. Here's what I could find that is more than just "by Diana Burbano" or "Lullabelle (Diana Burbano)":
  • a one para review of a short play called Fancy (not in the article) which the reviewer "would love to see a fuller version of" [1]
  • a review of a play/performance piece called Señor Plummer’s Final Fiesta by Burbano and two others (also not in the article), which says "the writing by Diana Burbano, Tom Jacobson, and Chelsea Sutton is positively sophomoric, as if being made up on the spot (expect to hear “You see…” as the precursor to a lot of sentences). What’s troubling is that most of the segments are rarely funny and, worse, usually difficult to follow (to say the least), while others are knowingly illogical." [2]
  • a review of Silueta, which Burbano co-wrote with two others, in which the review was "enthralled by a story as provocative as [character] Ana Mendieta’s cutting edge work" [3]
  • a review of a performance of a Spanish version of Menopause the Musical, which just says all four actresses (one of whom was Burbano) did an excellent job [4].
I also found a source (the Hartford Courant) reporting the four winning women playwrights (Burbano was one) whose work would be presented in Festival51 in 2016 [5]. RebeccaGreen (talk) 05:12, 12 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
