WP:BLP of an actress, with no strong claim to passing WP:NACTOR as nearly all of her listed roles have been commercial voice-overs and/or foreign language dubbing. This is formatted very much more like the kind of performance résumé that one might see in her own EPK than like an encyclopedia article, and cites no reliable source coverage to properly verify any of it. Actors and actresses do not get an automatic inclusion freebie just because they exist; RS coverage, supporting an actual claim of notability as an actor, must be present for the performer to earn an article.

 * Hmm. So the IMDB isn't a reliable source? Is it not reasonable to think that in Belgium, if indeed it is accurate that she was the voice actor for those foreign films, her acting is notable? JMWt (talk) 21:23, 11 November 2015 (UTC)
 * Per WP:IMDB/RS, no, it isn't. It's acceptable as an external link on the article of an actor or actress who already has enough reliable source coverage in the article that her notability is already covered off, but it's not appropriate for use as a reference, and cannot confer notability in and of itself. And what makes an actress notable is the presence of reliable sources in her article, not the simple assertion of any number of roles without verification in RS.

 * OK, that seems clear. Seems to me we'd need someone with access to a catalogue of the films in Flemish/French to be sure if she was the actor. Is there a specific policy on notoriety of foreign language dubbing actors? JMWt (talk) 22:00, 11 November 2015 (UTC)
 * It seems I was wrong, the dubbing was in German. de.wiki has these db for the actress - filmportal.de and Deutschen Synchronkartei - although these may have the same problems as suggested above re using IMDB. JMWt (talk) 22:09, 11 November 2015 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Delete this unsourced BLP, unless somebody can rescue this hot mess. Acting in a series of commercials could confer notability, but it does not appear to be so in this case. Bearian (talk) 17:21, 17 November 2015 (UTC)
