| Submission declined on 16 November 2023 by S0091 (talk). This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject (see the guidelines on the notability of people). Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia. This submission is not adequately supported by reliable sources. Reliable sources are required so that information can be verified. If you need help with referencing, please see Referencing for beginners and Citing sources.

Comment: Most of the content is unsourced and sources provided do not support notability. All the sources are the same review by Tom Titus so is a single source rather than multiple and none of the roles are significant and/or are not in notable productions.

- Comment: Her fan club and IMDb are not reliable sources. Theroadislong (talk) 14:16, 15 December 2022 (UTC)
- Comment: This page appears to have been written to praise its subject rather than to describe the subject neutrally. Wikipedia is written from a neutral point of view. If this draft is resubmitted without being reworked, it may be nominated for deletion. You may ask for advice about the tone of articles at the Teahouse.The title of this draft either has been disambiguated or will need to be disambiguated for acceptance.If this draft is accepted, an entry will need to be added to the disambiguation page for the primary name. The disambiguation page for the primary name is Norma Jean (disambiguation). Robert McClenon (talk) 17:32, 26 November 2022 (UTC)
- Comment: This is highly advertorialized and is referenced entirely to primary sources that are not support for notability at all -- so it will have to be massively rewritten for compliance with our neutral point of view rules, and referenced to proper WP:GNG-worthy media coverage about her in reliable sources, before it can be submitted or accepted.

Norma Jean Lowe (born on February 13, 1967, in Camden, New Jersey) is an actress and comedian.
Early life[edit]
Jean was raised in Watertown, New York. At four years of age, she had an accident that left her left eye nearly blind. In her early years, she studied dance, initially focusing on ballet, and subsequently expanding into tap, jazz, creative, and ballroom dance. She then studied music: piano, flute, and clarinet. During her high school years, she earned numerous United States Figure Skating Association (USFSA) badges.[citation needed]
Education[edit]
She pursued her education at Empire State College, Saratoga Springs, NY.[citation needed]
Career[edit]
Post-high school, Norma Jean commenced her acting journey at a Community Theater and gradually ascended to leading roles in four significant productions with the Little Theater of Watertown, New York. Her career also includes noteworthy supporting roles in both television and film. In the domain of comedy, she portrays "Smokin' Bev," a satirical character inspired by her own opinionated and occasionally provocative mother.[citation needed]

Stage[edit]
Blithe Spirit by Noel Coward “Dan Henry and Norma Jean play the writer’s guests, a doctor and his wife, the latter injecting hilarious traits (such as a raucous horse laugh) into her straightly written character.”[1]
The Book of LIz by Elizabeth Donderstock "Norma Jean beautifully elicits memories of rubber-faced TV comediennes past, from Imogene Coca to Carol Burnett. Her performance is alternately heartwarming and knee-slapping in a richly full-blooded interpretation."[2]
