Elizabeth Jenns (actress)

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Minor actress that fails to meet notability threshold WP:ENTERTAINER. No indication of having a significant following nor having made significant or lasting contributions to the field of entertainment. - Barek (talk • contribs) - 21:00, 16 April 2014 (UTC)
 * Keep at least a year or so. I created the page as a stub in hopes of attracting others who know more about her, i.e., stage experience, etc. Tertius51 (talk) 22:04, 16 April 2014 (UTC)

 * Comment I managed to deduce from marriage records that she married Harold Evans in 1929 in Kidderminster. She then remarried "Henry Joseph Crocker of Beverley Hills, California" in 1936 ([ref](society) Marriages. The Times (London, England), Friday,  Oct 16, 1936; pg. 17; Issue 47507.  (680 words) [/ref]).  She might still be living - she'd be 103 now, so getting on a bit but not impossible. In the absence of confirmation of her death we have to assume that WP:BLP applies.  I'm leaning towards delete unless additional sourcing can be found; I found some photos in Life Magazine from the 1930s (via Google Books) but they are hardly in-depth sources and do little more to confirm that she existed.  Other than that, she appears in various long lists of actors, which are film credits, I think. Barney the barney barney (talk) 10:19, 17 April 2014 (UTC)


 * For photos, the article originally contained a series of links, although some contained near-identical images. Here's that list:

 * I had removed these links as they contained no coverage other than the photo itself; but someone could review to see if copyright still applies on all of them or if one is potentially usable here.
 * As to being in films, she may have been in films, but I see no evidence that they were significant roles. The notability threshold of WP:ENTERTAINER is meeting one or more of these criteria:
 * Has had significant roles in multiple notable films, television shows, stage performances, or other productions.
 * Has a large fan base or a significant "cult" following.
 * Has made unique, prolific or innovative contributions to a field of entertainment.
 * While she had been in films, they appear to have been minor roles. --- Barek (talk • contribs) - 16:10, 17 April 2014 (UTC)


 * I concede her notability may be questionable, at least as a film actress. It's only that having her info in one place may bring forth more. In the end, much more is forgotten about any life, that matters to other people, than is remembered. Tertius51 (talk) 14:28, 18 April 2014 (UTC)


 * Keep She was discussed in the LA Times quite a bit for a year or two there. I think she passes the GNG.  I've expanded the article somewhat to reflect this.  It's not much, I know, but I believe it's enough for a keep.  It was Harry Crocker she married; can it be that the Times itself made an error?&mdash; alf laylah wa laylah (talk) 18:16, 18 April 2014 (UTC)
 * Harry is an alternate form of Henry. It's perfectly possible that he was given the written name Henry but called Harry as with Prince Henry of Wales. Barney the barney barney (talk) 13:19, 19 April 2014 (UTC)
 * Thanks for clarifying. Nicknames are so weird, eh?&mdash; alf laylah wa laylah (talk) 15:42, 19 April 2014 (UTC)
 * Keep and improve, if possible LucyLucyLucyLucy1 (talk) 21:10, 22 April 2014 (UTC)
