 * Delete: I found only one potentially WP:RS online, but that is not enough to establish WP:GNG. The actress is also not eligible for any of the WP:NACTOR criteria (no significant roles in notable films or significant contributions to the field).

 * Keep: at least 2 significant roles in notable productions. The page needs improvements, though. - My, oh my! (Mushy Yank)  16:15, 20 May 2024 (UTC)

 * Isidingo/Maggie Webster; The Story of an African Farm/Tant Sannie. - My, oh my! (Mushy Yank)  16:28, 20 May 2024 (UTC)
 * There is nothing to suggest that her role in Isidingo is significant, it is one of many small parts. Theroadislong (talk) 16:34, 20 May 2024 (UTC)

 * Delete: The South African article above was written by a creative content writer with a versatile writing background and is a promotional fluff piece with claims like her talent transcends borders, artistic prowess extends beyond acting and multifaceted career serves as an inspiration to aspiring artists. Creative writing indeed. The others are mentions and the ones used in the article are WP:UGC. S0091 (talk) 16:01, 22 May 2024 (UTC) S0091 (talk) 16:01, 22 May 2024 (UTC)
 * @S0091 GPTZero finds that at least sections from https://www.thesouthafrican.com/lifestyle/celeb-news/breaking-karin-van-der-laag-maggie-from-isidingo-where-is-she-now-20-september-2023/ were written by AI. 🇺🇦 Fiddle Timtrent  Faddle Talk to me 🇺🇦 16:52, 22 May 2024 (UTC)
 * @Timtrent doesn't surprise me. This is the third or so article I have come across published in The South African that was promo, with the others being written by marketing/PR professionals so likely paid for.  S0091 (talk) 17:12, 22 May 2024 (UTC)
