Removed PROD per WP:PROD. Reason was Does not meet the criteria for WP:NACTOR Oddly, the original AFD was closed twice - once as delete and once as keep. Illia Connell (talk) 07:42, 31 December 2012 (UTC)

This article is needed as a reference. I noticed it was deleted because I was trying to cross check information on the TV show "Unfabulous" and she is the only regular cast member that is missing. Wikipedia is less useful when it is incomplete. 99.129.133.9 (talk) 16:28, 31 December 2012 (UTC) It appears that the article was only a stub when it was previously nominated for deletion. I have updated the format to make it more in line with wiki standards and have received permission to use an image to balance the appearance. I plan to increase the biography once I have confirmed additional details. TigerPaw2154 (talk) 17:02, 31 December 2012 (UTC)
 * "all the other kids got articles, so she should have one too is not a valid rationale. -- TRPoD aka The Red Pen of Doom  13:06, 4 January 2013 (UTC)
 * Keep for now Delete with no prejudice towards a future article. It seems she has been more active with theatre productions than television and film as Google News found a recent result for a Christmas production in which she sang here. It seems she received good attention for a 2007 production, 13, with results here, here, here, here and another production, Gyspy, with results here (third result from the bottom, the second from the bottom is also for 13). In 2010, she starred in a Huntington Beach production Dark of the Moon with a result here. I also found this which mentions her guest role for Samantha Who. In 2007, she participated in a cancer fundraiser here and Google Books found few results here and here (both for 13) and here (fourth from the top, for Unfabulous). Honestly, she gained a lot of attention for 13 which seems to near the beginning of her career so I attempted to search for any awards for both Emma and the production itself but found none and it seems there have been other productions of 13 with one here. I think she's slightly under the bar notable and she hasn't been very active in the past two years aside from this Christmas production. However, it seems her Twitter profile suggests she is attending UCLA so she may be taking time for that. SwisterTwister   talk  21:14, 31 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep From all those internet hits that SwisterTwister was able to find, an article can be maintained using those hits as references. I am willing to cleanup the article to make it look more presentable. QuasyBoy (talk)  04:15, 3 January 2013 (UTC)
 * comment someone can be named in passing as appearing in many many many productions which verify their existance as a person and an actor, but without actual significant  content about the actor themselves, they still fail all the notability guidelines. for example the Variety review of 13, all you have is that she plays the "school princess " - and not a damn word about how well she performs it or any other actual content. And the Playbill coverage is even less, it doesnt even identify her role, just lists her as a cast member-- TRPoD aka The Red Pen of Doom  13:04, 4 January 2013 (UTC)
 * Keep The actress in question passes notability guidelines. I am surprised Swister Twister voted delete. They provided various sources to indicate some notability. She is taking a break. Big deal. There are several actors out there on hiatus who may come back into the field, but have left an impression of notoriety. Tinton5 (talk) 21:47, 3 January 2013 (UTC)
 * Comment - Very well, I will improve the article later tonight. I actually thought of voting keep but I thought the work was still insufficient but I do recognize the significance of her 13 work. SwisterTwister   talk  23:29, 3 January 2013 (UTC)
 * Note: This debate has been included in the list of Actors and filmmakers-related deletion discussions. — Frankie (talk) 17:06, 4 January 2013 (UTC)


 * Keep per meeting WP:ENT (IE: major recurring character in 32 episodes of Unfabulous for which she received a 2005 Young Artist Awards nomination). While certainly she has done many minor roles (as has all actors), we do not judge actors only by the least of what they have done. Article state is poor but addressable and an encyclopedic article can be built and mainatined.  Schmidt,  MICHAEL Q. 23:07, 5 January 2013 (UTC)
 * Comment - I have significantly improved the article and believe this should hold until she continues acting again. @MichaelQSchmidt - it actually seems she was nominated for two Young Artist Awards. SwisterTwister   talk  03:31, 6 January 2013 (UTC)
