Briana Roy

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Non-notable actress. Fails the three criteria at WP:NACTOR. VQuakr (talk) 03:01, 21 September 2014 (UTC)
 * Delete Too soon. The sources are pretty much nothing but trivial coverage. Orasis (talk) 03:19, 21 September 2014 (UTC)
 * Delete - It looks like it was written by a company .... Both The whole caps thing and the image all just seems odd!, Anyway per above Fails NACTOR. – Davey 2010 •  (talk)  03:37, 21 September 2014 (UTC)
 * Delete-Too soon, but I do find it amusing how it says she is perhaps best known for when she has only one role. Wgolf (talk) 04:31, 21 September 2014 (UTC)
 * Comment: If I can whip up a quick page for the film that would pass NFILM, we could probably redirect there since that seems to be all she's known for at this point in time. I'll see what I can do. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡)   08:02, 21 September 2014 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Reclaim (film). This is a case of WP:TOOSOON. The film itself is notable, but this wasn't the type of role where Roy would gain individual notability based upon her participation. That sort of thing is usually reserved for the extremely well-known films like The Hunger Games, where there are almost always a ton of articles that discuss the actor in detail apart from the film. Her other accomplishments haven't gained any true coverage either- not that they aren't impressive, but we would still require coverage of her roles and I just can't see where this is out there. If she does gain more coverage in the future, we can always un-redirect and flesh it out from there but for now she just doesn't pass WP:NACTOR. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡)   09:02, 21 September 2014 (UTC)
 * I'd also like to request that all of the SPAs that edited the account please read over our WP:COI guidelines. (Since there were four of them, not including the account named after Roy herself.) I get the impression that this was likely written by someone involved with Roy, such as her agent or perhaps some of her friends- although the writing gives off the impression that it was written by an agent, paid editor, or publicity company of some sort. If by some chance they are all from one company, I'd also recommend reading over WP:MEAT. If you were brought on to create the article or to edit it, you need to be very careful and ensure that you read over our guidelines for notability (WP:NACTOR), WP:NOTAVOTE, and sourcing (WP:RS). In particular I'm talking about the part of the article that discussed Roy's professional history. It's very, very common for people to come on and argue that because an actor modeled or was otherwise related to a notable person/organization/topic that they gain notability from that, but that just isn't the case- we would still require some sort of coverage that talked about this in depth. So far the only stuff I've seen about her really only discusses her in brief or in relation to Reclaim- it's just too soon. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡)   09:10, 21 September 2014 (UTC)
 * Oh- a note to closing admin: You may need to protect the redirect in order to avoid re-creation of the article, as this was already A7'd before. (It was originally a PROD, but was A7'd.) She didn't qualify for an A7 deletion, but it does kind of make me concerned about attempts to re-create the article. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡)   09:12, 21 September 2014 (UTC)
 * Looks like there was an attempt to blank the page and re-create a new article, so these concerns do seem to be valid. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡)   04:20, 22 September 2014 (UTC)
 * Second note: I did remove quite a bit from the article, as I wanted to trim it down to a more manageable article that better fit our basic style guidelines. You can see the original article here. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡)   09:44, 21 September 2014 (UTC)

 * Delete per Tokyogirl79. It's obvious that this and the IMdB profile were written by her parent or manager.  I'd be fine with a redirect and indef move protection. Bearian (talk) 22:02, 25 September 2014 (UTC)
