Daisy Bates (actress)

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Non notable actress, All sources point to Daisy Bates (civil rights activist) however searching "Daisy Bates actress" brings up one mention, There's 2 sources in the article - One is IMDB and one is some CV, no evidence of notability, Fails GNG. – Davey 2010 Talk 20:21, 12 November 2016 (UTC)


 * Not sure - she was certainly quite well known at one time as a child actress, when her father was alive, but I haven't heard anything about her in recent years. Deb (talk) 21:15, 12 November 2016 (UTC)
 * But then wouldn't that be a WP:NOTINHERITED issue ?, If you take away her dad would she be remembered or even known ?, Anywho having relooked at the article I guess it could be redirected to Kavanagh QC as that's her most notable role, Thanks, – Davey 2010 Talk 21:45, 12 November 2016 (UTC)
 * You're correct in saying that she would never have been well-known if her father had not been a well-known TV actor. The places where she was mentioned would mostly have been places like TV magazines and other ephemera. I suppose it's comparable with someone like Brooklyn Beckham. So probably the best thing would be to redirect to Ralph Bates. Deb (talk) 22:07, 13 November 2016 (UTC)
 * I mean if substantial stuff pops up then the redirect can always be reverted :), I have no objections to that target either :), Cheers, – Davey 2010 Talk 22:15, 13 November 2016 (UTC)


 * Delete a career made up of one-pisode television apparances and bit parts in movies is just not enough to establish notability.John Pack Lambert (talk) 00:31, 13 November 2016 (UTC)

 * Delete.  I don't see significant coverage in reliable sources.  Her career apparently peaked before the internet became popular, but there are many sites that host digital archives, such as Google and Highbeam Research.  There doesn't seem to be anything there except coverage of the more famous civil rights activist.  If someone can locate offline coverage, the article can be recreated.

 * The problem is that we don't delete articles because they fail WP:GNG, and while the difference between WP:GNG and WP:Deletion policy can in some cases be implied; not only is this not one of those cases, consensus exists that non-notability is not a deletion argument here.

 * Redirect The evidence available at this AfD, which matches my own searches, is that the topic is not Wikipedia notable.  Further, the evidence available is that WP:Deletion policy is not applicable.  Unscintillating (talk) 13:58, 3 December 2016 (UTC)
