- Comment: It is pointless to re-submit with no improvement. Theroadislong (talk) 22:32, 7 August 2024 (UTC)
- Comment: There are 79 producers listed for the Outsiders musical! Theroadislong (talk) 21:04, 7 August 2024 (UTC)
- Comment: Not clear that she won the Tony Award herself there were a LARGE number of producers? Theroadislong (talk) 21:00, 7 August 2024 (UTC)
- Comment: May be notable under WP:NPRODUCER if she produced a Tony-awarded musical, but it doesn't look like she has won a Tony award herself which is a bit misleading. C F A 💬 16:26, 5 August 2024 (UTC)
- Comment: The Boston Globe article is good, but there doesn't seem to be much outside of that. The article doesn't have to list everything the subject has ever done, and it ends up looking like a résumé if it does. C F A 💬 16:25, 5 August 2024 (UTC)
