The notability of the article subject, per WP:NACTOR, has been disputed multiple times by multiple users, leading to deletion proposals and redirection. We need consensus about this matter, through a proper deletion discussion. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 18:02, 7 May 2020 (UTC)

 * , you had redirected the article with the following edit summary: "BOLDLY redirecting to Rookie Blue - that is Ancheril only "significant" role to date (so fails WP:NACTOR), and the pathetic sourcing at the current article fails to pass WP:BASIC as well, so doesn't qualify for WP:BLP article." If this is this still your position, could you clarify your opinion about "Star Trek Discovery" and the "IGN award" nomination? ~ ToBeFree (talk) 18:54, 7 May 2020 (UTC)
 * , you had contested the proposed deletion in 2013, stating: "contesting prod. She appears to pass WP:ENT as she has had significant roles in multiple notable TV programs". I assume this is still your position? ~ ToBeFree (talk) 18:57, 7 May 2020 (UTC)
 * That was a lifetime ago. Don’t think I have a position currently :) TonyBallioni (talk) 19:02, 7 May 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete or redirect Draftify – My position in cases like these is always the same: write up a potential WP:BLP article like this up in Draftspace, and demonstrate that the subject meets WP:BASIC and WP:NACTOR first. My position has largely not changed – she is not main cast on ST: Discovery (in fact, it looks like she isn't mentioned at the TV series are article at all), and an "IGN Award" is not a notable award. My guess is that she doesn't quality for an article – but try to write up a proper article in Draftspace first to show us (one way or the other). --IJBall (contribs • talk) 19:01, 7 May 2020 (UTC) (Vote updated. --IJBall (contribs • talk) 02:12, 8 May 2020 (UTC))
 * Merge or delete- This article could be merged into a show she was on; she doesn't meet the notability standards.
 * 1) Has had significant roles in multiple notable films, television shows, stage performances, or other productions - No
 * 2) Has a large fan base or a significant "cult" following - She doesn't have a cult following or large fan base.
 * 3) Has made unique, prolific, or innovative contributions to a field of entertainment. - Not really, she only has limited roles in movies. Stay safe, EditQwerty   (talk) 19:40, 7 May 2020 (UTC)EditQwerty
 * Delete or merge, not notable for standalone article per above. → Lil- ℧niquԐ1 - ( Talk ) - 22:17, 7 May 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete as does not meet notability standards and I looked around for sources and found one. I see no reason to draftify or merge; it's mostly a list of her appearances and those can be recreated easily enough if she ever gets enough good coverage for an article here.

 * Keep: In my opinion, WP:NACTOR is indeed made out—the subject has had several recurring roles in notable TV programs. I do not subscribe to the belief that only starring roles are significant for the purposes of NACTOR. Dflaw4 (talk) 06:43, 8 May 2020 (UTC)
 * Well, that's great, but that is a significantly minority viewpoint on the question. The fact is, sometimes even more than one starring role is not enough to get some subjects past WP:BASIC... But the subject in question meets neither that or WP:NACTOR. And as per WP:INDISCRIMINATE, Wikipedia is not a platform to list every long-career journeyman television, movie and stage actor that has ever worked. --IJBall (contribs • talk) 02:13, 9 May 2020 (UTC)
 * Minority viewpoint or not, I believe WP:NACTOR is met, and I stand by my vote, IJBall. Dflaw4 (talk) 03:21, 9 May 2020 (UTC)


 * Strong delete Wikipedia is not a platform for self promotion. We cannot allow to stand articles created by processes of paying someone to create an article.John Pack Lambert (talk) 20:32, 8 May 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete. No matter how "significant" any role is or isn't, NACTOR is not passed just by stating that roles were had, or even by sourcing the having of roles to the shows' own self-published promotional materials or press releases — it is passed only by showing significant and substantial reliable source coverage in real media about her and her performances to demonstrate that the roles were as significant as you claim they were. If all you had to do to get an actor over NACTOR was to say the word "significant", then every actor could just throw the word "significant" into their article and no actor would ever actually be non-notable anymore — so, basically, an actor cannot pass NACTOR #1 if he or she does not simultaneously pass WP:GNG. So the only source here that's relevant to whether she passes NACTOR or not is the Globe and Mail article (footnote #4) — but that article isn't about her, and instead just briefly namechecks her existence as a person that the actual subject of the article once @'ed in a Twitter tweet. That's not enough. Bearcat (talk) 19:24, 11 May 2020 (UTC)
 * Weak delete. I feel like there might be a valid redirect target here. Maybe this actress is on their way to some more notable coverage. But the sources here are a press release, and a bare mention of her as the actress behind these characters. It's sufficient to keep her name at those main articles for now.
