 * Comment – If I have time, I'll look into this one. My guess is that she may have gotten significant coverage in the U.S. soap opera press. (However, I bet that it was long enough ago that it's not available online...) In any case, if none of us find anything in terms of sourcing, I agree that it should be deleted as a completely unsourced BLP. --IJBall (contribs • talk) 21:05, 19 March 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete as searches simply found nothing better for WP:ENTERTAINER and there's nothing solidly convincing aside from the Ashley Abbott character. SwisterTwister   talk  06:18, 20 March 2016 (UTC)
 * Yeah, I'm not really finding anything. As I said before, I suspect it may actually be out there, but it would be in old print editions of things like Soap Opera Digest which almost nobody has access to. So, based on the sourcing that's out there and readily available today, there's not much at all... --IJBall (contribs • talk) 17:30, 20 March 2016 (UTC)


 * Keep I added multiple sources confirming her roles in various movies/tv shows, and I found 121 hits on Newspaper Archive. Currently, Newspaper Archive is undergoing maintenance and I can't view all of the hits. She passes WP:NACTOR and is light for GNG, but she has had coverage in People and a Christian news source. I'm going to ping since you seemed interested in this. Megalibrarygirl (talk) 21:40, 21 March 2016 (UTC)
 * On my end, I'm looking for stronger sourcing related to her acting career on Y&R. While the article is now sourced, alot of the additions look like passing mentions. Heh – I do remember Bug Buster though... --IJBall (contribs • talk) 22:15, 21 March 2016 (UTC)
 * There's plenty of sourcing in ProQuest. Examples:
 * Nancy Reichardt (1989), "Look-alike newcomer thanks fate for plum role" The Gazette (Montreal), 646 words entirely about her
 * Lilana Novakovich (1993), "Brenda Epperson heads for Metro," Toronto Star, 381 words about her
 * Lilana Novakovich (1995), "Brenda Epperson has much to be happy about," The Record (Kitchener, Ontario), 470 words about her
 * The previous article notes that her wedding was covered in People magazine. That citation is: "One night to cherish," People Weekly 42.4 (Jul 25, 1994), pg. 95, but the actual article isn't in my Proquest subscription.

 * Does the People cite really help – do wedding annoucements help to establish notability?! But these new sources look promising – I'll try to look at these later... --IJBall (contribs • talk) 22:43, 22 March 2016 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 *  Keep as significant indepth reliable sources coverage has been found. I don't have access to Proquest but exercising wikipedia good faith I trust Jahaza's judgement that there are significant articles about the subject in Canadian RS such as The Gazette (Montreal), The Toronto Star, and The Record and thats not including the wedding info.I think WP:BASIC is passed.
