A BEFORE identifies no reliable, independent sourcing in English or Bulgarian to establish notability for this person, and there isn't a particular claim beyond the JHU award Star Mississippi 20:43, 10 March 2022 (UTC)
- Keep. I have added a few Sources. Program director of a national TV station should be enough to jump over the notability bar. Arved ( talk) 11:08, 11 March 2022 (UTC)

- Delete, this lacks WP:SIGCOV basically. We need to pass basic criteria before applying any subject specific notability. ☆★ Mamushir ( ✉✉) 12:48, 18 March 2022 (UTC)

- Comment I did a little bit of work to the article, added passing mentions about award nominations, awards her show won, her 1996 arrest in Turkey. CT55555 ( talk) 23:47, 24 March 2022 (UTC)
- Delete for lacking of significant coverage. Stifle ( talk) 10:07, 1 April 2022 (UTC)
- Comment. If the facts in the article are correct, the subject may pass criteria 1 of WP:ANYBIO and criteria 2 of WP:ENTERTAINER for her award wins. Given that I don't read Bulgarian and am not proficient at researching in that language, I am hesitant to vote one way or the other, but it's plausible that she is notable based on the claims in the article. 4meter4 ( talk) 18:45, 1 April 2022 (UTC)
- Keep Winning an international journalism award is a clear sign of notability. Despite the nominator's statement that a before search indicates no sources, there are significant sources in Bulgarian under "Севда Шишманова" (15,000+ hits using the quotation marks over a significant period of time). The Bulgarian Media Academy lists a biography [1], and though this is a blog (but not likely to be one that would misrepresent facts to the community that it advocates for) these two articles [2], [3] indicate she was involved in improving technology for delivery of media to the hearing impaired. All would be clear indicators of notability. Though some of the coverage is sensationalist, much of it meets our RS criteria and clearly indicates notability, such as: [4], [5], [6], [7], [8]. Meets GNG, and both the criteria of WP:ANYBIO and WP:ENTERTAINER. SusunW ( talk) 19:58, 1 April 2022 (UTC)
- Keep The subject passes criterion 3 of WP:CREATIVE, as she was the program director of BNT (the national television broadcaster of Bulgaria) and has played a major role in the production and broadcasting of the award-winning TV series Undercover. She has also made a number of documentaries, some of which she was internationally recognised for ( [9]) ElementSix ( talk) 20:18, 1 April 2022 (UTC)
- Keep Significant amounts of coverage make for an easy pass. The quality of her work seems to attract both local and international attention and this has lead to being either nominated or being awarded. There is much more here than is needed to pass borderline. She is established journalist and well known internationally. scope_creep Talk 20:45, 1 April 2022 (UTC)
