Amy Stiller

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Previously put up for PROD but removed without explanation by an IP. Subject fails WP:GNG. The only reference used is an obituary on her grandfather, which only mentions Stiller herself briefly. IMDb is listed in external links, but cannot be used as a citation per longstanding consensus that it isn't reliable for sourcing information. Should be deleted as no reliable secondary sources give much attention to her, and I can't think of any good target for redirecting the article. Snuggums (talk / edits) 04:50, 9 April 2015 (UTC)

 * Delete. Her brother (Ben Stiller) and parents (the comedy team of Stiller and Meara, for those who remember The Ed Sullivan Show) are notable. She isn't. Fails WP:NACTOR. Clarityfiend (talk) 02:13, 10 April 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete. Does not meet the general notability guideline. --Inother (talk) 11:01, 14 April 2015 (UTC)
 * Keep - Being in a hugely famous entertainment family doesn't hurt her notability, plus she seems to have a long resume herself. I don't think the "yoga instructor" should be in her lede as that is not notable. —Мандичка YO 😜 23:34, 16 April 2015 (UTC)
 * The problem is that despite any appearances in movies, there is very little (if any) discussion of Amy herself in reliable sources. Her family has nothing to do with how notable she is; being Ben Stiller's sister and Jerry and Anne Stiller's daughter is entirely moot. Snuggums (talk / edits) 23:52, 16 April 2015 (UTC)
 * Being related to someone famous sometimes increases the likelihood someone will make a Wikipedia article about you (see: Jim and Mary McCartney) and it will also increase the likelihood people will demand said article be deleted. I'm sure in the actor-stub category there are less notable actors. —Мандичка YO 😜 01:28, 17 April 2015 (UTC)
 * Please see WP:OTHERSTUFF, which states you cannot make a convincing argument based solely on whether other articles do, or do not, exist. Articles on other subjects are irrelevant to this discussion. Also, notability is not inherited; the "Invalid criteria" and "Family" sections of WP:Notability (people) indicate that being related to someone famous does NOT automatically by itself make someone notable.

 * It's not about "Otherstuff" - the point is people are more eager to delete her article because she's related to famous people. She's had many roles over many years and I don't agree there's not enough coverage about her. Did you bother to actually look her up?  —Мандичка YO 😜 01:45, 17 April 2015 (UTC)
 * Yes, I searched and found very little coverage on Amy herself within reliable, secondary sources. Therefore, she doesn't meet notability criteria. <b style="color:#454545">Snuggums</b> (<b style="color:#454545">talk</b> / <b style="color:#454545">edits</b>) 01:51, 17 April 2015 (UTC)

<div class="xfd_relist" style="border-top: 1px solid #AAA; border-bottom: 1px solid #AAA; padding: 0px 25px;"> Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.
 * Delete There are not enough reliable sources that talk about this person to make her a notable person. Likeminas (talk) 15:48, 21 April 2015 (UTC)
