Apparently non-notable film producer. When I encountered this article, it was dominated by long promotional para about the author, which turned to be an apparent COI addition from 2013.[1] I removed that,[2] and began trying to rebuild the article,[3] starting with an Irish Times profile: Dwyer, Michael (7 June 2003). "Making it in the movies". The Irish Times. Dublin. ISSN 0791-5144.

However, I had little success finding other sources. So far, it's just

• selling a New York condo: Gould, Jennifer (March 29, 2017). "Ex-Tribeca Film Festival chief wants out of $4M Central Park condo". New York Post.
• wins court case against Dublin architect. Court report by same reporter in two Dublin newspapers:
  • Managh, Ray (1 November 2013). "Film producer Julie Le Brocquy awarded over €11,000 against architect". Irish Independent. Dublin. ISSN 0021-1222.
  • Managh, Ray (1 November 2013). "Film producer Julie Le Brocquy awarded €11,000 against architect". The Irish Times. Dublin. ISSN 0791-5144.

https://www.imdb.com/name/nm1385057/ gives her 5 credits as producer, but AFAICS the article's refs to those films don't even mention her, and her film company website http://www.lebrocquyfraser.com/ is dead. This looks to me like clear a fail of WP:FILMMAKER, WP:BIO and WP:GNG. Film is not my usual subject area, so I may have missed some stash of coverage somewhere.

• Weak keep - there are a couple of sources (I also managed to find this interview from Hot Press) and she does seem to have been nominated or won a few awards. And given that she seems to be most active in the early 2000s, there might some additional sources about her that aren't online? NHCLS (talk) 12:34, 1 September 2021 (UTC)
  • Good catch, @NHCLS. But the Hot Press article is paywalled, so I can't see how much the interview is about le Brocquy, rather than about the film. The intro pitches it as about the film. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 22:54, 1 September 2021 (UTC)

• Keep. I found a significant article on her in PROQUEST: Helen Boylan (February 8, 2004). "Producing the forbidden". Business Post. Additionally, she has produced multiple award winning films, and I was able to find significant coverage in encyclopedias and journals on those works verifying the content. I have added many high quality refs to the article. Clearly passes criteria 3 and 4 of WP:CREATIVE.4meter4 (talk) 19:29, 26 September 2021 (UTC)
