The result was   speedy keep per WP:SNOW. It is blatantly obvious that this article won't be deleted, given that she has been cast in one of the most notable television roles in the whole of Britain. Besides, she's notable for being the "seventh Python" of the Kevin Bishop Show (although, admittedly, that didn't get as popular as the Pythons).

Karen Gillan

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

Not yet a noteable actor by WP:ENT and fiming has not even started for the new 'Doctor Who' series that will apparently make her of note. As for now the BBC press release even accepts that: "Little-known actress Karen Gillan has been unveiled as the next assistant in Doctor Who" Little Known does not sound noteable.

 * Speedy keep. Obviously notable actress. Rebecca (talk) 10:54, 30 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Why is obvious? Oh and there is no such thing as 'Speedy Keep'Trevor Marron (talk) 10:56, 30 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Actually, there is - see Speedy Keep. I don't feel it's appropriate here, however, as this is a good faith nomination. Scog (talk) 11:13, 30 May 2009 (UTC)


 * Notable because associated with Doctor Who and its large obsessive fandom. They will want to read about her.Abigailgem
 * But still clearly fails WP:ENT, as it is about the actor, not Doctor Who. quote:

 * Actors, comedians, opinion makers, models, and television personalities:
 * Has had significant roles in multiple notable films, television, stage performances, or other productions.
 * Has a large fan base or a significant "cult" following.
 * Has made unique, prolific or innovative contributions to a field of entertainment.
 * See WP:MUSIC for guidelines on musicians, composers, groups, etc
 * Perhaps the article should be reduced to a stub for now. Trevor Marron (talk) 11:06, 30 May 2009 (UTC)


 * Keep notable as she has been cast in a leading role in a major TV series. Several news sources have seen fit to report this. All information in the article is well sourced and the article is linked from several Doctor Who articles. What is gained by deleting this article (and continuing to do so when it is recreated) until she starts filming (in July) or appears on TV (March/April 2010)?

 * Keep: we have several articles about her in reliable sources, which is sufficient to demonstrate notability per the Wikipedia general notability guideline, and now that she's joining Doctor Who, we'll undoubtedly have more information in the future. Scog (talk) 11:10, 30 May 2009 (UTC)
