Fails GNG, etc. Four roles to date: Voicework in the non-notable short Friends of the Family, an apparently minor role in Hard Feelings (film), a minor role in City on Fire (a child in a family that is not mentioned in the plot summary) and, the most significant, voicework in the English dub for The Mysterious Cities of Gold.

WP:NACTOR calls for significant roles in multiple notable productions, which we do not have.

WP:GNG calls for significant coverage in independent reliable sources. The article currently cites only IMDb. Otherwise, I find the usual collection of Facebook, wikis, fan sites, databases and nothing else.

As it seems her work was entirely restricted to 1979-1983 as a child, I can't really call it WP:TOOSOON either. Sum mer PhD v2.0 19:50, 19 June 2020 (UTC)

 * Delete - Nothing found. IMDB is absolutely not a reliable source per WP:CITEIMDB, Google only gave me social media sites Google Books only gave me a bunch of passing mentions, and nothing more was found at all.  Kori das  talk?   18:10, 20 June 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete. Actors are not automatically notable just because they've had acting roles — having acting roles is literally the job description for an actor, so if just saying that they'd had an acting role was all it took to make an actor notable then no actor would ever fall below the notability bar at all. Rather, making an actor notable enough for Wikipedia is a question of showing external evidence of their significance as an actor, such as notable acting awards and/or sufficient reliable source coverage about them and their performances to get them over WP:GNG. But there's literally none of any of that here. Bearcat (talk) 16:12, 21 June 2020 (UTC)
 * Which is why I began to feel that "multiple" "Signiciant" roles in "notable" productions has been interpreted in a way that does not indicate actual notability.John Pack Lambert (talk) 20:39, 22 June 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete We really need to set things up so there is a way to flag articles sourced only to IMDb for deletion and the only way to stop a deletion per the flag is to add another source. This huge number of articles sourced to IMDb is a traesty, that so many of them have existed for well over a deacade is another travesty, and that they all get forced to AfD because people object to speedy deletions is an even bigger travesty.John Pack Lambert (talk) 20:36, 22 June 2020 (UTC)
 * This article only dates back to 2013 so it is not as bad as some of the articles we have seen, but it is still an aunacceptably long time for an article on a living person to exist with no reliable sourcing at all.John Pack Lambert (talk) 20:37, 22 June 2020 (UTC)
