Meaghan Jette Martin

Minor (in more ways than one) actress, whose only significant role was a made-for-cable movie, 5th-billed. Calton | Talk 12:38, 12 July 2008 (UTC)

 * My view - if we are an IMDB clone then Keep, if we are an encyclopedia with substantial biographies then Delete. I won't rule one way or another unless I'm convinced which of the two Wikipedia is. Ottava Rima (talk) 21:10, 12 July 2008 (UTC)

First of all, this "made for cable movie" had 24.5 million viewers in the premiere weekend. It will be premiering WORLD WIDE over the next 2 months. It was not MINOR in any way. There are already talks for Camp Rock 2 and a Camp Rock 3. Second of all, if you took the time to WATCH the movie, you would see that she is 3rd billing NOT 5th. She is the movie's antagonist. I believe that you have not done YOUR research and need to leave articles alone unless you really know about the subject. Third, she has two songs on the soundtrack, which went GOLD in just 4 weeeks. She had a song on the top 100 on itunes for a month. She also sings backup on two more songs. Please research thoroughly before you make statements about a subject!!! Perhaps you have no kids or are a cable snob, that does not make a subject insignificant to other people. WEML Watch the movie if you don't get that reference! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.234.104.132 (talk) 01:03, 14 July 2008 (UTC)

Keep Meaghan Jette Martin! Her portrayal of Tess was the whole plot of the movie. If her character had not been in the movie there would have been no plot. That is why she was billed as third lead. Her two songs were the most elaborately choreographed of any of the songs. One has to wonder how someone could think, if they watched the movie, that Meaghan's character wasn't third lead. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Bayardxyz (talk • contribs) 03:41, 14 July 2008 (UTC)

This cable movie will be a part of pop culture for some time to come. It is known worldwide. It's ridiculous to delete an actress that has had that kind of exposure. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.234.104.132 (talk) 05:33, 14 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep, notable actress in a fairly big Disney movie. Stifle (talk) 10:26, 14 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Very Weak Delete I hate to disagree with Stifle but, I'm not seeing reliable 3rd party sourcing speaking about her to provide notability. The references in the article don't do it (she isn't even mentioned in one of them) and G and GNews seem to only have mention in passing in a number of places (and a video somewhere on Access Hollywood of an interview with her and a couple others).

Keep Meaghan! Yes it is true that this young actress is definitely newer on the scene, but in no small way. Meaghan has many credits to her name and third billing in the latest and possibly biggest (as yet) DisneyChannel Original Movie, which to me is not MINOR in any way. It is obvious that this is an actress who has worked hard for most of her life and is now an established actress on her way up! 76.4.251.182 (talk) 14:27, 14 July 2008 (UTC)

 * Meaghan Martin's character is comparable to the "Sharpay" character in High School Musical one and two this character is certainly not minor. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.91.31.189 (talk) 16:38, 14 July 2008 (UTC)

Keep - This was a very large production by Disney Channel, anticipated for months and watched by millions. This particular actress had a very large supporting role in the movie! Whoever marked this article for speedy deletion should know the background of the material before making such hasty claims. Rswfire (talk) 17:41, 14 July 2008 (UTC)


 * weak keep These made-for-TV Disney movies are getting a lot of response, which often has the effect of creating a lot of sources for the actors themselves. I don't like the idea of keeping things out of popularity, but this is a case where it's not the popularity itself, but the results it had (the additional interviews, bios, etc). -- Ned Scott 02:46, 16 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep in mind, my comments here are giving the benefit of the doubt based on past similar experiences. I have no objection to re-reviewing this after a little bit of time, to see how things really turn out. -- Ned Scott 02:48, 16 July 2008 (UTC)

This performer has sold over 90,000 singles in the month since the CD premiered. There are others on the cast list who have fewer credits, but are not targeted for deletion. Why is this performer being targeted for deletion? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.215.19.149 (talk) 16:14, 17 July 2008 (UTC)


 * Strong Keep: I don't even understand why this was put up for deletion. She is a notable performer now, and if this article would be deleted, several other perfomer's pages on Wikipedia should go also, because this gives more information than a lot that I encounter. AND SHE IS NOT 5th BILLED!, She is 3rd, and the main (arguably only) antagonist in the film.Candyo32 (talk) 19:42, 17 July 2008 (UTC)
