 * Comment Just because people often make the mistake of putting the reference as an external link doesn't mean we should ignore it. I see a link to the Internet Movie Database here. Polargeo (talk) 17:01, 22 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete unreferenced blp. No sources establishing this minor actress passes bio, creative, etc... (IMDB is not a reliable source to hang a whole blp on).Bali ultimate (talk) 17:15, 22 January 2010 (UTC)
 * It may not be a source to hang a BLP on but it does mean you are incorrect about it being unreferenced. Polargeo (talk) 17:20, 22 January 2010 (UTC)
 * So does being Dracula's wife in the hit film Dracula mean she is non-notable. Maybe it does but it shouldn't be dismissed because you think the source is a bit weak. Polargeo (talk) 17:23, 22 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Jesus, IMDB even got that wrong. She played one of the brides, who if i recall had 10 minutes of screen time between them and little to no dialogue. No, mere appearance in a notable movie doesn't make someone notable.Bali ultimate (talk) 18:23, 22 January 2010 (UTC)
 * I am not claiming she is notable, please note I have not posted a keep vote. I realise what the role entails. However, there is no excuse to argue lack of sources, there are plenty of sources that back up the main claims in the article which are very easily found. Polargeo (talk) 16:11, 23 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Doesn't seem to be a major role per ARTIST. Pcap ping  18:27, 22 January 2010 (UTC)


 * Delete. Fails general notability guidelines, and IMDb is not a reliable source for BLP articles to begin with!  JBsupreme (talk) 18:32, 22 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete unless Romanian Wikipedians can find sources.  Schmidt,  MICHAEL Q. 06:07, 23 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Well, she doesn't even have bio on the ro wiki. She seems to have simlar carrer as Michaela Bercu, another wife of Dracula from the same movie. She's definitely not Romania's Monica Bellucci. The only new piece of info from the Romanian press is that she's the wife of the president of Romanian International Bank; her full name is Florina Popa-Kendrick these days.

 * Presenting sources to inform the debate. Apart from Bride of Dracula she also had a named role as Rebecca Costanzo in the 1995 film "With Criminal Intent" in Romanian translation, IMDb. More sources to confirm she was a bride of Dracula on google news here. Romanian source mentioning specifically she is married to the Bank director and her full name here. Details about her from a Romanian news source in 2005 at HotNews.ro, translation Polargeo (talk) 07:30, 24 January 2010 (UTC)
 * We already knew all that. Still doesn't pass WP:ARTIST, so I felt that adding the refs to the article would be pointless. This article on her marriage has a fair bit of biographical information, but it's reproduced from a local newspaper, Ziua de Cluj (not the same as Ziua). It mostly covers the pinnacle of her career: being selected out of 15,000 candidates to play one of Dracula's wives, and that she wasn't scared of real snakes. She also appeared in Castle Queen, and (as I suspected) was a model for Texaco and Channel, but she switched to a business career afterwards. Similar career with Michaela Bercu (except for being on the front-page of Vogue). The Romanian newspaper also says that while she was in the USA she wrote the screenplay for A Man, a Woman and Her Foton, but that movie really is called A Woman, Her Men, and Her Futon, and IMDB credits Michael Sibay with the screenplay, although ghost writing is common in Hollywood. There are very few sites in Romania that even mention her, see these searches:    YMMV if an article is warranted. By the way, I as unable to confirm that she appeared in With Criminal Intent from a source that's not IMDB or a Romanian clone of IMDB, NYT doesn't list it . Weak delete.

 * Delete It shouldn't be this difficult to find significant coverage on a notable individual. However, I will note that if she had appeared in similar roles in 2009 I predict that she would instantly have had an article, such are the idiosyncrasies of the internet.
