WP:BLP1E; WP:ONEEVENT . Article created on the day the news broke about her death. While I am sure the women in red gang would disagree, to my mind, from the body of her article it's not evident there are any achievements in her life for which she would have been notable for wikipedia had she not been killed by Baldwin.

Redirect to Rust (upcoming film)#Shooting incident, as that's the only thing she's known for (if a separate article for that incident gets create, redirect there instead). But clearly fails WP:ONEEVENT, and she wasn't notable in her life. Joseph2302 (talk) 10:53, 22 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to Rust (upcoming film)#Shooting incident. Only really notable now because of the shooting, prior to this I never heard of her. JMHamo (talk) 11:44, 22 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Multiple accomplishments as a cinematographer are enough to establish notability. Eastmain (talk • contribs) 11:50, 22 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. After her death, media have been covering her life and work in detail, including BFMTV ("Qui était Halyna Hutchins"), and BBC ("Halyna Hutchins: Rising star of film industry was 'an incredible artist'"). Even though occasioned by the shooting, this coverage is about more than that, avoiding ONEEVENT problems. Reducing an acclaimed artist's work to a redirect covering her being shot by somebody else would be demeaning. Sandstein 11:52, 22 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - if not, Redirect to Rust (upcoming film)#Shooting incident. The assertion that there were not to be enough notable achievements in her life had she not been killed is pure WP:CRYSTALBALL. How does the nominating editor know how little (or much) significant work was to come from the subject in later life? That part of the editor's argument makes me think the slim notability to be even bigger, and the manner of her death requires some acknowledgement, even if that is by redirect.

Keep for now. It is too soon to tell if enough information can be found to create a good wikipedia article. if not perhaps making a page specifically about her death ,following investigation and possible legal proceedings (assuming there is any)
Keep I would have assumed with her film industry credits it was note worthy enough for a Wikipedia page. The manner of her death is very significant. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Knockdomney (talk • contribs) 12:33, 22 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Keep for now. To contrast the very first argument given: this article is not even a day old. While most editors might be quick to look at her tragic death as one event, her article has yet to be improved sufficiently to warrant deletion. Give it a month.

The onus is on the article creator to demonstrate it passes WP:GNG, not the other way round. They haven't done that, and doesn't look like she does. If in 1 month, 6 months or a year's time, she does for some reason, the article could be recreated at that point. But this is an article created in reaction to her death.
