Unremarkable person, minimally sourced, WP:BEFORE turns up nothing substantial. —S Marshall T/C 20:41, 12 September 2020 (UTC)

 * Delete per WP:NACTOR and WP:GNG. Google, JSTOR, ProQuest, Gale and NYT searches did not yield WP:RS that showed WP:N. Z1720 (talk) 23:05, 12 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Weak keep. Just barely passes WP:NACTOR#1 as she had starring roles in two marginally notable TV shows: The New Gidget (2 seasons, US broadcast) and Hollywood Safari (3 seasons, Animal Planet). pburka (talk) 23:26, 12 September 2020 (UTC)
 * According to which sources, please? If you've been able to find something independent, substantial and reliable then I will need to withdraw this AfD with apologies.—S Marshall T/C 12:57, 13 September 2020 (UTC)
 * "WP:V doesn't require "substantial" coverage. It doesn't even require independent coverage for certain things. Unless you're claiming that these shows were elaborate hoaxes, they're easily verified. i.e. I can demonstrate that she starred in two or three notable productions, but I can't demonstrate that she passes GNG. pburka (talk) 14:00, 13 September 2020 (UTC)
 * NACTOR isn't an alternative to the GNG. It says someone is "likely" to be notable if they've starred in notable productions: it doesn't say that they "are" notable if they have.  In other words, I feel that the point of NACTOR is to allow time for sources to be produced.  I emphasize that this article has existed for fifteen years and was first tagged as an unreferenced BLP ten years ago.  In the circumstances, I feel that adequate time has been allowed, and I put it to you that this biography of a living person should now be either sourced properly or deleted.—S Marshall T/C 16:25, 13 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Keep I agree that she clearly passes WP:NACTOR #1 based on the Brady Bunch sequels, the New Gidget series & TV movie, and 71 episodes of the TV show Texas. --Krelnik (talk) 14:47, 13 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Keep There is a lot of mentions meaning lots of details. Very long career. Passes WP:NACTOR, WP:SIGCOV.   scope_creep Talk  21:24, 13 September 2020 (UTC)
 * You seem very confident! Mysteriously, I still don't seem to see any sources in the article?—S Marshall T/C 21:26, 13 September 2020 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus. Relisting comment: To discuss the relevance of Pburka's sources.
 * Keep per Pburka, passes WP:ENTERTAINER, so it can stay. -- ☆★  Mamushir   ( ✉✉ ) 20:05, 15 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete Wikipedia requires actual sources, not IMBd which is not realible. We cannot keep an article on a living person without any reliable sources at all.John Pack Lambert (talk) 20:49, 16 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Would you change your !vote if we added some references to demonstrate the verifiability of her notable roles, e.g., , and ? pburka (talk) 21:12, 16 September 2020 (UTC)

Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks,  Sandstein   10:20, 20 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Keep: It was very easy to find sources on Newspapers.com, which has lots of articles specifically about Richman and her work. "Gidget's giggly comeback" (Honolulu Star-Bulletin, 1987) is about her Gidget role, "Texas actress a singer, too?" (Rock Island Argus, 1982) is about her role on Texas, and "Caryn Richman enjoys her move from Tuxedo Junction to Texas" is about her singing career. I would recommend that everybody in this discussion register for the Wikipedia Library, where you can get access to Newspapers.com for free. It can solve a lot of heated AfD discussions. — Toughpigs (talk) 17:26, 20 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Keep and improve. Subject had a lead role in the portrayal of an iconic character. BD2412  T 20:03, 22 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Keep I believe she meets NACTOR for the roles mentioned above (as well as Grease since she was in the original on Broadway) 1 and the GNG for the sources referenced above. GoldenAgeFan1 (talk) 15:30, 25 September 2020 (UTC)
