DePRODed by creator. Concern was: ''Bit part/voice actor in animations. No in-depth sources in mainstream media. Fails WP:NACTOR''. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 08:24, 29 December 2017 (UTC)

 * Keep, original PROD rationale was incorrect, there are a number of mainstream sources on the page, not all film credits are from animations, either. I would say it passes point 1 of WP:NACTOR in part, the multiple films however is an issue, which I am looking to resolve. Dana has recently been on stage but I'm struggling to find any sources.

 * Delete only one significant role, and that is as a voice actress, which just does not bring the same level of attention to the performer as live roles do.John Pack Lambert (talk) 14:40, 29 December 2017 (UTC)
 * Keep Hmmm. I guess one could make the argument that she has "only one significant role, and that is as a voice actress", but it's both blatantly not true and it's a featured role in the Despicable Me (franchise), described as "the highest-grossing animated film franchise in box office history, and the 12th highest-grossing film franchise of all time." Again, the rush to deletionism leads editors to arrogate the role of deciding that notability is based on what they think is unimportatnt. Just because I'm uninterested in country music and have decided that being a country music performer "does not bring the same level of attention to the performer" of other forms of music (the ones I like, of course) would be a piss-poor argument for deletion of an article about a country music performer and it's equally invalid here as an excuse for deletion. The claim for notability is strong and the sources here and those available elsewhere establish that claim. Alansohn (talk) 16:37, 29 December 2017 (UTC)

 * Keep per rationale of Alansohn. The Drover&#39;s Wife (talk) 11:00, 31 December 2017 (UTC)
 * Weak Keep I'm not convinced being in multiple films in Despicable Me (franchise) meets significant roles in multiple notable films for WP:ENT, and her other roles are not notable. However, the coverage of her appears to meet WP:GNG (in addition to coverage already in the article, there is this student newspaper interview). power~enwiki ( π,  ν ) 18:18, 4 January 2018 (UTC)
