WP:BLP of an actress and writer, making no substantive claim of notability that would satisfy either WP:NACTOR or WP:AUTHOR and citing no reliable source coverage — it just asserts her existence, and parks on her IMDb profile as its sole "source". And, in fact, if you compare the statement of who she is in the IMDb profile to the statement of who she is in this article, it becomes painfully clear that the creator directly imported the IMDb statement and rephrased it just enough to avoid a literal WP:COPYVIO, without actually adding anything else to it beyond a virtual replication of the IMDb profile. An actress does not get an automatic inclusion freebie on Wikipedia just because she exists — it takes reliable source coverage about her to get her in here, but none has been shown. Delete.

 * Comment. Well, she won the 2012 Funny Women competition: .  There are a few other hits on Google News, but most of them are kind of skimpy.  I guess one could make the argument that it's still a bit too soon. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 03:52, 31 August 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete or redirect to Top Coppers, although I do sympathise with NinjaRobotPirate's comments, I've found no substantial coverage about her. FoCuS contribs ;  talk to me!  22:52, 3 September 2015 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

 * Comment. Here's a review of her act from The List.  But that's about the best I've been able to find. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 04:20, 6 September 2015 (UTC)
 * Yeah, a single paragraph-long review doesn't quite cut the mark. FoCuS contribs ;  talk to me!  01:23, 7 September 2015 (UTC)
 * Nope, definitely not. Still trying different search terms, but I don't think I'm going to dig up anything else.  I'm not quite sure where to suggest a redirect, but maybe Funny Women or Top Coppers would be appropriate? NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 01:39, 7 September 2015 (UTC)
 * A redirect to Top Coppers sounds fine. FoCuS contribs ;  talk to me!  16:32, 8 September 2015 (UTC)


 * Redirect to Top Coppers or delete. It doesn't seem like there's enough coverage yet to warrant a biography.  The article can be recreated later, once she passes WP:BIO. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 17:10, 8 September 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete as per nom and above editors. Searches turned up nothing to show they meet either WP:GNG or WP:NACTOR.  Onel 5969  TT me 14:05, 13 September 2015 (UTC)
