BLP failing wp:bio: "A person is presumed to be notable if he or she has received significant coverage in reliable secondary sources that are independent of the subject.". Prod removed without adding significant coverage by user who doesn't seem to understand encyclopedic notability (see User talk:Paolina rosa). -- Jeandré, 2009-05-04t11:37z 11:37, 4 May 2009 (UTC)

 * Weak keep. WP:ENTERTAINER requires (rather ungrammaticaly) "significant roles in multiple notable films, television, stage performances, or other productions."  Do multiple episodes of _one_ TV series count as "multiple notable television"?  If so, she passes the guideline. Tevildo (talk) 17:24, 4 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep per WP:ENTERTAINER and significant role in notable television program. Significant coverage is not required since the assertion of a significant role in notable television is easily WP:Verified. Sources only need to be non-trivial when the mere existence of these sources is used to establish notability. That's not the case here. The claim to be one of leads of Sewende Laan is the claim to notability here and is easily verified.... and significant appearance in a notable series speaks for itself.

 * Comment. WP:ENTERTAINER requires _multiple_ roles.  It's not clear from the existing guideline that this includes appearing as the same character in multiple episodes of the same series.  Certainly, one _film_ appearance isn't enough; an example that comes to mind is Donna Lee Hickey - one major role (May Wynn) in one major film (The Caine Mutiny), and we don't have an article on her.  (I wouldn't put money on Robert Francis surviving AfD, either, but I'm not nominating his article myself.)  This is by no means a clear-cut case, unless the guidelines are made more explicit.

 * Reasonable worry, but multiple appearances as a major in a notable television series count. She was not background. She was not a walk-on. She was not an uncredited extra. Guideline allows and encourages looking at all factors... not just one thing. Those performance are verified, and she is being covered in the news . If I could read Afrikaner, I might be able to offer more. Hey, she even made the South African Top Ten Best Dressed for 2008...didn't even know it existed. And I have no idea that SA takes their sausage so seriously, but she was on-stage presenting awards, .  Schmidt,  MICHAEL Q. 02:54, 6 May 2009 (UTC)
