Doesn't pass WP:NACTOR and WP:GNG. At best may be a redirect to Years and Years (TV series) ☆★  Mamushir   ( ✉✉ ) 22:20, 23 January 2021 (UTC)

 * Keep: see Wikipedia article It's a Sin (TV series) broadcast from 22 January 2021; in which Lydia West plays one of the two leads. If Lydia has played a leading role in two major TV drama series; she wouold appear to pass the tests for WP:NACTOR and WP:GNG.  In my view. TomHennell (talk) 22:28, 23 January 2021 (UTC)
 * I see she hasn't played any lead role yet, so not passing NACTOR. She isn't one of the lead actors if what I see in It's a Sin (TV series) is correct. ☆★  Mamushir   ( ✉✉ ) 22:33, 23 January 2021 (UTC)
 * She absolutely is one of the leads in It's a Sin (TV series). She is billed as one of the leads in the main titles. I'm watching it now. It's about four gay men and a woman living together, and she plays the woman. In fact, she probably has more screen time than any of the individual men. She was also definitely one of the leads in Years and Years (TV series). That miniseries was a larger ensemble piece, but she has as much screen time there as any of the more well-known lead actors.Jamesluckard (talk) 09:40, 24 January 2021 (UTC)

 * Delete Per WP:NACTOR. No major leading roles and a lack of coverage in reliable secondary sources. Comatmebro (talk) 00:49, 24 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Keep, she is one of the five leads in It's a Sin (TV series) and she's described that way in the linked articles, of which there are many. Just look at the linked Elle article, where she's described as "the fifth main character." Jamesluckard (talk) 09:42, 24 January 2021 (UTC)


 * Keep, meets NACTOR per roles in Years and Years and It's a Sin. – DarkGlow (contribs • talk) 15:36, 24 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Keep, I think this article does meet the NACTOR guidelines for her roles in Years and Years and It's a Sin - In It's a Sin she is one of the lead characters and IMDB shows her in all six episodes. An article in The Express newspaper, features her as one of four actors who they profile as the cast . There is also an article from Grazia magazine profiling her as a break out star and she is profiled as a star of It's a Sin in this article in UK magazine Gay Times.

 * Keep as meeting WP:NACTOR and likely WP:GNG too. She's playing one of the leading roles in what's probably the most talked-about British TV programme of 2021. Cordless Larry (talk) 19:44, 24 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Keep I’m reading about her now in British Vogue and that’s good enough for me. Trillfendi (talk) 20:04, 24 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Keep As others have said - not only has she played a leading role in Its a Sin, but also in Years and Years which was broadcast in 2019. She recently had a write up in Grazia in which she is named as a "one to watch" and a "breakout star" and Elle similarly published an article calling her the "star" of the TV series Guyb123321 (talk) 21:44, 24 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Keep It’s a sin is getting major coverage and she is along with it. Added to years and years and her career is taking off — Preceding unsigned comment added by Datamgmt (talk • contribs) 23:02, 24 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Keep Obvious notability - why hasn’t this been concluded yet? Obscurasky (talk) 10:33, 27 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Keep per GNG. She's had two supporting roles in major TV shows. The coverage is on the celebrity side, but as long as it's siginficant it doesn't make about the tone. Bearian (talk) 19:25, 28 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Keep meets WP:Entertainer. Expertwikiguy (talk) 19:34, 28 January 2021 (UTC)
