WP:BLPs of three actors who have performed together as the cast of a children's show, not referenced to any reliable source coverage about them for the purposes of establishing that they pass WP:NACTOR for anything. As always, the notability test for an actor is not "has had roles", but "has received significant and substantial media coverage for the having of roles". But two of these three are referenced only to their IMDb profiles and the show's self-published website about itself, and the only one (Lisa Lennox) that actually cites any reliable media sourcing at all cites a single source which (1) fails to verify the claim that the footnote is actually sitting on, and (2) mentions her only in the caption to the photograph on an article that isn't otherwise about her at all, so simply moving the footnote somewhere else to eliminate problem #1 isn't the key to salvation. As always, actors are not automatically entitled to have Wikipedia articles just because they exist -- they have to be the subject of reliable source coverage for a Wikipedia article to become earned, but none of these three meets that condition.

 * Delete all No reliable sources support the notability of these individuals.John Pack Lambert (talk) 01:17, 26 January 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete all- Nothing to establish notability. And if I was any one of these people I'd want the article deleted too. This must be the most embarrassing acting role ever.--Rusf10 (talk) 06:55, 29 January 2018 (UTC)
