Josephine Chaplin

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Subject does not appear to have been the subject of multiple non-trivial independent secondary sources. Current references are non-existent, one external link points to IMDb which is not independent. Has won no awards nor had any staring role in a major motion picture. Google search turns up IMDb, Spokeo, Facebook, Amazon, Pintrest, Barnes & Noble, etc. Being descended from Charlie Chaplin does not by itself confer notability (per WP:NOTINHERITED).

I came to her page to see the actress Josephine Chaplin, so this must be Wikipedia perfoming the function it was meant to in providing information. The fact that she was actually in films that exist is a source of proof. I have seen the Jack The Ripper dvd with her on the front cover so at least there she had a notable role.

 * Keep She may have a famous dad, but she's credited with 26 different roles in film and TV. She has named roles in many of these. She passes WP:NACTOR #1. This isn't a case of WP:INHERITED., were you going to !vote Keep? Megalibrarygirl (talk) 00:07, 6 May 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete . Lack of independent sources and WP:NOT INHERITED. Xxanthippe (talk) 02:20, 7 May 2016 (UTC).
 * I just added several independent sources to confirm her roles and her parents. So there are independent RS in the article. This also isn't a case of of NOT INHERITED, she passes by WP:NACTOR #1. Megalibrarygirl (talk) 17:31, 7 May 2016 (UTC)


 * Redirect instead as imaginably best connected to Charlie Chaplin, article still questionable for solidity. SwisterTwister   talk  00:02, 8 May 2016 (UTC)

Yes keep for me. If I can go into a retail store and buy this http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/414J3M771YL._SY445_.jpg what on earth has Charlie Chaplin got to do with it? I think it's rude to keep refering to people with the Chaplin surname as some sort of appendage to Charlie Chaplin and not just the person that they are.

Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, North America1000 17:19, 8 May 2016 (UTC) Quick reality check: WP:NACTOR states that in order to qualify under those criteria the person needs to have had significant roles [plural] in multiple notable films, etc. [also plural]. Having had a single significant role in a single "Pasolini film" whose name is not mentioned does not qualify a person as notable; being billed in other notable films does not qualify a person as notable; thinking it is rude to refer to a Chaplin as some sort of appendage is not an argument for notability; being credited with 26 different roles in movies and television does not qualify a person as notable; being able to go into a retail store and see a DVD with her on the cover is not evidence of notability. Everyone, please, for God's sake, read Arguments to avoid in deletion discussions and then come back here and have another look at your arguments to Keep this article. The ONLY one that holds any water is the one claiming to have added new sources. KDS4444 (talk) 13:12, 10 May 2016 (UTC)
 * Keep. She had a significant role in a major Pasolini film and billed roles in other notable films. If her name wasn't Chaplin and her earliest credits weren't in films her father directed, we wouldn't even be having this discussion. Clearly meets NACTOR. The Big Bad Wolfowitz (aka Hullaballoo). Treated like dirt by administrators since 2006.  (talk) 23:31, 8 May 2016 (UTC)
 * Comment She has one of the main roles in Escape to the Sun, she had a starring role in Nuits Rouges , a starring role in Jack the Ripper , a named role in Docteur Françoise Gailland  , and a named role in Bay Boy . These roles all make her notable in addition to the Canterbury Tales film. I'm not even counting in her other roles or the ones for French TV which are difficult for me (since I'm not fluent in French). Megalibrarygirl (talk) 20:54, 10 May 2016 (UTC)

 * Keep, per Megalibrarygirl. In my view, this person meets the criterion of main roles in multiple notable films, as the sources listed above show. Would this be at AfD if WP:NOTINHERITED was irrelevant? Vanamonde93 (talk) 05:32, 17 May 2016 (UTC)
