Does not meet notability guideline WP:BIO Mathew5000 17:51, 1 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Should be a speedy as per WP:CSD  Chris DHDR 19:15, 1 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete While not a candidate for speedy (there is some assertion of notability IMO), her roles seem to be rather minor.--Sethacus 20:33, 1 September 2007 (UTC)

 * Keep She's played major roles in 2 films that satisfy WP:N, although nobody has written a Legion of the Dead article yet. Granted that one's most memorable for how bad it was, and how good Ms. Lynx looks nude. Still puts her at least borderline. Fairly long modeling career, which adds a little. Released 1 CD which it is claimed charted. Puts her at least 1/2 way to satisfying notability for music. and highlights the biggest problem with expanding the article. It's a Persian language music cd. She's only given 1 English language interview that I can find any reference to, in the June 2001 issue of "Fashion" magazine. She seems to have much better coverage in Persian. However, I think even what can be documented at least marginally meets WP:NHorrorshowj 10:27, 3 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment: More people saw her in the one episode of The West Wing (where she played "Miss World") than in Legion of the Dead. I'm not convinced that a long modeling career is any more of a claim to notability than a long career as (for example) a bus driver. At present the article mentions the CD she released but does not claim that it was for a major label, and does not claim that it charted. Also is there an article on her in the Persian-language Wikipedia? --Mathew5000 08:56, 11 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment: Is being a model less of a claim to notability than being a football player in a minor league? Look at the players for teams like Milton_Keynes_Dons_F.C., Wycombe_Wanderers_F.C. or similar teams. I love the sport, but not even I have ever heard about the teams, not to talk about the players. Claudia Lynx is much more well known than any of them.
 * Comment: If you want to list any of those football players for deletion I'd support you, but it isn't the issue at hand. --Mathew5000 12:27, 12 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment: According to Wikipedia policy, those footballers are notable. I find it strange and I'm glad you agree. As you say, that's not the issue at hand although few of them are as notable as Claudia Lynx. Just being any model is not enough for being notable, as I understand it, but she has had a reasonably succesfull career as an actress as well. Not that Legion of the Dead is a great movie, but landing the lead role in it is still more than 99% of all actors accomplish. This, together with more minor roles in other productions, such as West Wing and musical career with a following in the Persian diaspora makes me doubtful to deleting the article.

 * Strong Keep. Very surprised by the nomination. Has played the major role in two films that are notable, has had a minor role in a very popular tv-series. As Wikipedia lists footballers playing as low as in the fourth division in England, this nomination looks positively absurd in comparison. JdeJ 13:19, 11 September 2007 (UTC)
