I'm nominating this article for deletion due to my inability to find reliable secondary sources that establish the subject's notability. Additionally, the subject appears to fail WP:ENT, in that (1) she has not had significant roles in multiple notable films, television, etc. (appears her only major role was as Ling Ling in Drawn Together; (2) she does not have a large fan base or a significant "cult" following; and (3) she has not made unique, prolific or innovative contributions to a field of entertainment.

I will gladly support keeping this article if others can prove otherwise. I would also support redirecting the article to Drawn Together or something similar. Thanks everyone for assuming good faith and volunteering to review this article. Missvain (talk) 02:57, 29 March 2020 (UTC)

 * Delete article lacks the reliable sources needed for a BLP to exist.John Pack Lambert (talk) 12:08, 30 March 2020 (UTC)
 * Weak Keep: The subject's role in Barely Famous could also go towards WP:NACTOR. As for sources, there are actually quite a few recent articles from reliable news outlets, regarding her position as one of the writers on What Just Happened??! with Fred Savage. The problem is that the coverage is basically little more than mere mentions. Maybe others will be able to uncover something more substantial. Here are a few of the sources I found, and there are several others in this vein:
 * →https://variety.com/2019/tv/news/fred-savage-after-show-spoof-fox-1203200400/ – Variety
 * →https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/live-feed/aftershow-spoof-what-just-happened-starring-fred-savage-a-go-at-fox-1205186 – The Hollywood Reporter

 * Strong delete per Nom: We have policies that are actually community consensus mandates and the criteria is even higher for WP:BLP's. It might just be an accident or some attempt to prove that the state of an article is irrelevant, but we have sourcing criteria for multiple reasons. We also have essays like WP:SAVE and WP:Hey (essays on the deletion policy) for a reason. They are just essays but carry weight of community consensus. A problem is that when material is contested, along with notability because there are no sources, "policy" gives a mandate concerning the burden of proof that are all part of the "Responsibility for providing citations". When IMDb is used as an only source there are possible WP:YTCOPYRIGHT issues. Just adding some sources to the talk page does not in any way cover the policies and guidelines concerning an unsourced BLP. Such things as WP:CITE are important but pretty hard to follow when there are zero sources. Ignoring the rules is a possible rationale but requires consensus that inclusion is an improvement to the encyclopedia, in spite of policies and guidelines, and a closing admin will likely have to agree. If others think the article worth "saving" then ping me if improvements are applied and I may agree. My reasoning is that the extra sources above does not provide substance to prevent this from being a pseudo biography. Otr500 (talk) 02:30, 7 April 2020 (UTC)
