The article claims that this actor is a television star, but I can't find any reliable independent sources to verify that she meets the notability criteria. Since it's been speedied and recreated several times, and since it does technically contain an assertion of notability, I thought I'd run it by the community. Whad'ya think?

 * this is a genuine article about a young television actress it may be seen as un-important but as people keep adding it and it just gets deleted i think you should leave it on just for sakes otherwise you are just going to have to be permanetly deleting it ,which is a waste of wikipedias time beacuse at least the information on this page is true (well hopefully) and more reliable then on many other pages —Preceding unsigned comment added by Xxiccixx (talk • contribs) 20:29, 18 December 2007 (UTC)  — Xxiccixx (talk&#32;• contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.
 * Delete as non-notable actor; one single Google hit associates her with the show she apparently appears on, and there appears to be no other reliable sources available. Considering the statement of intent to keep reposting above, a dose of salt might be in order, too. Tony Fox (arf!) 20:43, 18 December 2007 (UTC)
 * WP:BLP seems to be the ruling guideline here. In short, we need to get this right, and if it might be the invasion of privacy of a young actress to research the material to expand the article, we should delete, and unless someone can dig up a published interview or the like about her, I'm going to presume that the invasion of privacy would apply, and vote delete. This is not meant, and should not be taken, as a slight to the subject of the article - we just don't want to get it wrong, and either invade her privacy or risk vandals coming along and hurting her reputation.

 * Delete. Searches of the BBC site (linked to in the article) give no information about her, and as Adam Cuerden says - it may not be in the young lady's best interest to have a page about her on wikipedia. --Paularblaster (talk) 21:00, 18 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete as non-notable actor. The article says "Wright has starred in BBC Children's show, Xchange", but checking that article brings up no mention of Wright, despite what looks like a comprehensive list of stars. If the author can come up with some reliable sources to demonstrate notability then that's fine, but otherwise, it should go. AlasdairGreen27 (talk) 21:01, 18 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete, non-notable actor, no sources to be seen. Possible hoax? Ten Pound Hammer  and his otters • (Broken clamshells•Otter chirps) 21:14, 18 December 2007 (UTC)
 * A search of the BBC web site yields 0 hits for anyone of this name at all. -FisherQueen (talk · contribs) 21:17, 18 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Well, there isn'tall that much information on Xchange up on the BBC site. However, an older revision gives her role in the Lion King musical as "a lion cub". This probably means that A. she's quite young, and B. "starring" is a bit of an exaggeration in at least that case. If she's as young as that makes it sound, I'm really uncomfortable with invading her privacy like that - it's all very fun for now, but bad things could come of it later.
