Keep and Move: clearly a major figure in both religious and film circles as well as an academic. I see nothing "very promotional" about the article. It was clumsily written but I've tweaked it somewhat. PamD 12:17, 2 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Correct title appears to be Dominica Dipio: would have moved but for moving during AfDs being deprecated. "Dominica" is used in uni staff page, vatican announcement, and all her publications. Possibly accounts for failure of WP:BEFORE: see Worldcat. PamD 13:33, 2 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, searching on right name finds a Fulbright scholarship, and a research fellowship at Cambridge, for starters. PamD 13:33, 2 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Along with the potential pass of WP:GNG outlined above, I found multiple published reviews of her Gender Terrains in African Cinema [1] [2] [3] and her co-edited East African Literature: Essays on Written and Oral Traditions [4] [5] giving her a borderline case for WP:AUTHOR. I think together they're enough. —David Eppstein (talk) 21:10, 2 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Aside from meeting our WP: GNG, her appointment as a consultor for Pontifical Council for Culture also satisfies WP: DIPLOMAT So, the article has exhibited enough relevance to enjoy a standalone page on Wikipedia..Olaniyan Olushola (talk) 09:31, 6 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Keep A significant figure across a range of sectors as highlighted above. The article is not 'very promotional' — Preceding unsigned comment added by Rkoala (talk • contribs) 22:49, 8 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
