 * Her role in The Girl Next Door is significant. How did you determine her role in John Adams wasn't? It has potential and if it is significant it meets the first point cited by the nominator. --Mgm|(talk) 12:56, 5 May 2009 (UTC)
 * That would be two major roles which is why my !vote is a delete. Iowateen (talk) 16:00, 5 May 2009 (UTC)

 * In that case we disagree on the meaning of the word multiple. In my dictionary it means "more than one" for which two clearly qualifies. - Mgm|(talk) 09:37, 11 May 2009 (UTC)
 * The consensus seems to be that multiple is at least three. Only a few are insisting that "two" is what is intended by "multiple".  If "more than one" or "two" or "at least two" had been intended, the guideline would have been worded that way and I am sure it was well-discussed before implementation.  Rarely if ever do people refer to two of anything as "multiple".
 * The guideline is intended to exclude as well as include. It does give room for judgement on the part of the editors but forcing an uncommon meaning on one word in the guideline makes it difficult to achieve consensus on these AfDs. There are thousands of these unreferenced non-notable biographies and they harm the encyclopedia. Drawn Some (talk) 13:15, 11 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Guidelines are intended to be flexible., Whether multiple means two or three, depends on the circumstances. I am not necessarily talking about this article, which is not in my subject. Even if a guideline said that explicitly that 3 or more were required, it would still be interpreted to allow exceptions. DGG (talk) 22:04, 11 May 2009 (UTC) PS. I unindented this by one level. decltype (talk) 07:01, 19 May 2009 (UTC)

 * The normal meaning of multiple is "more than one". [Merriam-Webster's Medical Dictionary.][The American Heritage® Dictionary of the English Language, Fourth Edition.] decltype (talk) 07:01, 19 May 2009 (UTC)


 * Weak Keep per the guideline. Has had significant roles in multiple notable productions, assuming that her role as the daughter of John Adams was significant. decltype (talk) 07:01, 19 May 2009 (UTC)


 * Keep per meeting the WP:GNG. Her character of Nabby Adams, and she herself has been the foucus of several in-depth articles... Premiere Hollywood (more-than-trivial): "Review: “John Adams” - Episode 3" (paragraph 4), The News & Observer (in depth): "Local girl is in 'Adams'", Playbill (mention but in notable manner): "The starry cast boasts several theatre veterans...", Chapel Hill News (in-depth): "Girl relishes role in HBO series", etc. There are others.
