Katie Garner

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  Stats )

An actress that does not meet the notability requirements for actors and entertainers. She has only had very few, bit roles, as indicated by the filmography, most of which were uncredited. Most of them are as extras (IE "football fan", "Fashion Show Guest" and other unnamed background characters), and the two roles listed as being in films are greatly exaggerated. Her role in "Teen Spirit" was not a "featured role". In fact, her role in the movie was so minor that she was not even mentioned in the article for that film until the author of this page added her into the credits section. Her role in Piranha DD was an uncredited minor role as well. There are also no reliable sources discussing this individual in any meaningful way as well. The PROD was removed by the page creator with the argument that "she needs a page", but I'm going to have to disagree and say that no, she doesn't. Rorshacma (talk) 07:34, 23 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete. I did a search and the only coverage I found was an article about her joining a news station team, but it's by the actual channel that hired her. This makes it a primary source and therefore unusable as far as showing notability goes. Even if it wasn't, this is just one source and one source doesn't show notability. As far as her acting or news careers go, neither has been extensively reported on in reliable and independent sources. Notability is not inherited by performing in a notable movie or a music video by a notable group. You'd have to have at least a few sources talking specifically about Garner's roles in order to show that her acting was notable outside of the bounds of the movie or music video. There are no such sources covering Garner's acting roles. As far as her having significant roles, the roles seem to be of the walk on variety and aren't considered to be the types of roles that would allow her to pass that aspect of WP:NACTOR. A significant role would be if she'd played Mrs Lincoln in Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter and then played another high profile role. Playing a bit part and a few walk ons is not what is considered significant. As far as the other guideline, having a big cult following, that would require some proof via RS and I just don't see where she has the type of cult following to qualify. I've rarely see anyone pass this qualification without having enough RS to pass GNG or some other aspect of WP:NACTOR. Basically put, almost all of the qualifications for notability pretty much rely on having a reliable source of one type or another. They're just not out there.Tokyogirl79 (talk) 08:11, 23 August 2012 (UTC)
