Declined speedy, but I'm not convinced that the listed awards are sufficient to establish notability. Doesn't appear to meet WP:GNG otherwise. Sh i r ik ( Questions or Comments? ) 03:27, 2 December 2013 (UTC)


 * I think the declining administrator should read up on the CSD a7 criteria . There is no credible claim to notability and no sourcing that is reliable to back up any of the claims here. Three cheers for wasting everyone's time here! The user formerly known as Hell In A Bucket (talk) 03:56, 2 December 2013 (UTC)
 * I wasn't aware that bashing other editors was a valid rationale for deletion. Regardless, I believe there is a claim to notability, and given your tone, I don't feel the need to waste my time justifying myself. -- Sh i r ik ( Questions or Comments? ) 04:14, 2 December 2013 (UTC)
 * I was commenting on your content contribution. I do hope you spend the time you aren't using to back up the legitimate concern made by reviewing the A7 criteria. I'd also suggest rereading the rationale "There is no credible claim to notability and no sourcing that is reliable to back up any of the claims here" ergo it fails to pass GNG.

 * The article is badly organised, does not present enough material for notability, lacks proper referencing and is badly written. It should be removed. The editor who made it obviously put little to no effort in presenting his/her findings in a way acceptable by Wikipedia. If in the future someone can actually develop an article for this subject in their sandbox that fits the criteria and adds it to Wikipedia, that would be more than perfect, at the moment even as a stab this article should not be publicly part of Wikipedia. For what is worth, that's my take on it. --Tco03displays (talk) 04:08, 2 December 2013 (UTC)

 * Comment. First of all, the administrator was clearly correct in declining speedy deletion under CSD#A7; an article does not require any showing of "notability" to survive an A7 speedy, only a "credible claim of significance or importance even if the claim is not supported by a reliable source or does not qualify on Wikipedia's notability guidelines"; "It is irrelevant whether the claim of notability within the article is not sufficient for the notability guidelines."  The subject has starred in multiple notable productions and has received multiple award nominations, and this is certainly enough to pass the A7 threshold.   Whether it is enough to survive AfD is a more difficult inquiry.  Arguably she passes WP:NACTOR because she "has had significant roles in multiple notable films, television shows, stage performances, or other productions."  But what's missing here is any significant coverage of the subject in reliable independent sources.  Given that she had both a featured role in the series Blossom and a starring role in the 1995 Johnny Depp feature film Nick of Time (as well as other roles), one might have expected to find at least a little bit of press surrounding those appearances.  But I've found very little beyond bare mentions of her name in reviews: best I've found so far is one paragraph in a 1995 entertainment Q&A column  and an even briefer paragraph in a news article focused on Depp's performance in the film . --Arxiloxos (talk) 15:47, 2 December 2013 (UTC)
 * Weak Keep While the GNG offers little hope for this article, the actor notability guideline says, in part: "Has had significant roles in multiple notable ...television shows..." She has appeared in 21 episodes of Blossom and 25 episodes of Dan Akroyd's Soul Man series. >20 appearances says "significant role," and both series are notable enough for their own articles. I think this qualifies. --Eggishorn (talk) (contrib) 15:25, 9 December 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete per WP:BASIC (it's possibly too soon). The subject may meet WP:NACTOR but I found no sources discussing her. Highbeam seems to be overloaded ATM but I see that Arxiloxos only found a couple of refs there - and they apparently weren't strong enough to confer notability. -- Trevj (talk • contribs) 01:56, 10 December 2013 (UTC)
 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.
