Ellie Darcey-Alden

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

An actor with 3 bit-parts in film and four TV episodes. Fails WP:NACTOR. No independent, reliable references that are about her. Her brother's article is also up for an AfD. Prod was contested for unknown reasons. Bgwhite (talk) 05:48, 7 January 2013 (UTC)

My only reason for updating this existing wikipage with more detail about Ellie was that it existed purely as a redirect link to her role on the List of Harry Potter cast members. With a page already existing I thought I would add additional information regarding her acting career and background. If it is appropriate for a wikipage to exist purely as a redirect then I will be willing to undo the additions. Davesewell (talk) 00:20, 8 January 2013 (GMT)
 * Delete fails WP:RS & WP:NACTOR. Яεñ99 (talk) 08:36, 7 January 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete Just having done some professional work is not a justification for a BLP on a minor. --AJHingston (talk) 12:11, 7 January 2013 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Welcome to the Punch (if that's the most recent film of hers on which we have an article) per WP:NACTOR and AJHingston. This would be an updated equivalent of the previous redirect to List of Harry Potter cast members. -- Trevj (talk) 14:19, 7 January 2013 (UTC)
 * Comment She isn't listed in the cast of Welcome to the Punch so the role, at best, would be minor and insignificant. Sticking with delete until something significant occurs later in her career. Яεñ99 (talk) 04:08, 8 January 2013 (UTC)
 * The subject could be listed at Welcome to the Punch, per the ref I included above. And if not, why not reinstate the previous redirect (previous incarnation was BLPPRODed, with a redirect left in place)? -- Trevj (talk) 08:38, 8 January 2013 (UTC)


 * Redirect (I was asked my view of this on my talk page because I had been the deleting admin for the previous BLPPROD, and had introduced the redirect referred to above.)   I tend to "work from the sources", and as far as I can see, the available non-trivial secondary sources are two articles from the Oxford Times, , and one, possibly reliable, from the Hollywood News.  Two of the three refer to the Harry Potter role, so if we were to redirect, that seems to me to be the logical target.
 * One could make a WP:GNG argument for keep here based on the Oxford Times, and I would normally not be reluctant to do so, but some combination of specifics of the sources and the age of the subject leaves me feeling as if there's not quite as much solid information as we might want to really pen a biography. On the other hand, it would allow us to mention other verifiable roles, such as "The Snowmen".
 * When we don't have a clear target for a redirect there's an argument that can be made for delete as well, and I don't choose that here because I feel that the HP role is still relatively primary in terms of reader's mindshare, based on the apparent distribution of occurrences in unreliable sources. --j⚛e deckertalk 18:22, 8 January 2013 (UTC)
