BLP about an actress that has only had one minor part (nonstarring role in a Canadian production in only the most recent of seasons - buried way at the bottom of the 'list of insignificant characters in this show' article) and a rumored part (announced through Twitter) in a YTV sitcom that's not out yet. That's it. Does not rise to the level of significance required by WP:ACTOR at this time. DreamGuy (talk) 00:30, 26 June 2009 (UTC)

Comment I couldn't find anything at WP:ACTOR, but WP:ENT says "Has had significant roles in multiple notable films, television, stage performances, or other productions." She is in the eighth season of Degrassi: The Next Generation, and is a top-billed cast member - not a minor part. Additionally, what does the fact that it's a Canadian production have to do with anything? Are Canadian productions somehow less notable than American ones?

 * It all goes toward "significant" roles -- but then they need multiple significant roles, and she doesn't have that even if we generously extend significance to that role. DreamGuy (talk) 23:39, 28 June 2009 (UTC)

Keep She is a top billing cast member as said above. I even watch Degrassi and see her credited on the opening credits. And she has also appeared in multiple films, stage performances and other productions, (as said above) She will even play the lead role in an upcoming show How to Be Indie. She is a notable actress.

 * Delete - No significant roles, unsourced BLP. - SummerPhD (talk) 12:49, 29 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Weak Keep Delete First role on a show that has 161 episodes in which she appeared 8 times but appears to have top billing for her current series. In addition to researching current series, it appears the show is catered to her (based on her heritage) though there is no publication that I have found that states length of series or success of series.  However, I'm not Canadian so I cannot vertify publicity, notability for her role, media coverage and impact. BioDetective2508 (talk) 19:09, 29 June 2009
