Contested PROD. This lady has enough credits that I think we should get input before deleting. Can we hear from Canadians what they think? Richard Cavell (talk) 14:09, 17 June 2019 (UTC)

 * Subject is WP:ENT but doesn't seem notable. I can't find any deep RS coverage online. HM Wilburt (talk) 14:44, 17 June 2019 (UTC)


 * Comment I'm not sure why you would remove a PROD just to bring an article to AfD. Why not find and add sources? There certainly appear to be many sources over many years on Newspapers.com, and I am sure she would meet WP:NACTOR. I will try to add sources (and info - one of her shows, My Talk Show (1990) isn't even mentioned in the article). RebeccaGreen (talk) 16:25, 17 June 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete I don't think this really passes WP:NACTOR and she fails WP:GNG, since she is not really the subject of articles in significant reliable sources.--TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 03:39, 18 June 2019 (UTC)

 * Keep I have so far searched only under one form of her name, Debra McGrath, although she has also been credited as Deb McGrath and Debbie McGrath. It's clear that she meets WP:NACTOR #1, "Has had significant roles in multiple notable films, television shows, stage performances, or other productions." She has starred or had major roles in The Second City, Termini Station, My Talk Show, Getting Along Famously, Seven Little Monsters, Little Mosque on the Prairie, Single White Spenny and Women Fully Clothed . She had a major role in a film which does not yet have a Wikipedia article, Expecting (made in Canada in 2002), for which she won Best Performance in a Feature (Female) at the 2004 Canadian Comedy Awards. She has been nominated for other awards, which I will try to find sources for. I have added many references and more information to the article - more can be done, but this is a definite Keep.

 * Keep. Article certainly needed improvement at the time of nomination — it was a poorly written "actor who has been in stuff, the end" stub with just one source, which was definitely failing to properly demonstrate that she passes WP:NACTOR. But in its current state, RebeccaGreen has beefed and sourced it up a lot, so it now very clearly gets over the bar...exactly as any Canadian could have told you she would, if we'd seen it before Rebecca did.

 * Keep I am the original PROD nominator. I actually never wanted this to go to AFD. In it's original state, the article did not show only notability. However, I couldn't be sure because if she was actually notable she's done most of her work in Canada and I'm in America.I figured that if she was actually notable, someone would either remove my PROD before it got deleted or gotten it undeleted, and then hopefully improved the quality of the article to show notability. And that is exactly what happened. The current state of the article clearly shows notability. JDDJS  ( talk to me  •  see what I've done ) 21:00, 18 June 2019 (UTC)
 * Keep as per WP:HEY the article has been significantly improved including the addition of multiple reliable sources references showing the subject passes WP:GNG, thanks Atlantic306 (talk) 21:41, 22 June 2019 (UTC)
