Fails WP:NACTOR. The article's SPA creator is User:Rivamarie, which is the actress's name, so a likely COI issue as well. Clarityfiend (talk) 08:39, 19 June 2019 (UTC)

 * Delete. Actors do not get an automatic free pass over WP:NACTOR just because the article lists roles: the notability test is not just having roles per se, but the reception of reliable source media coverage about her and her roles. Virtually all of the roles in her filmography are uncredited extra walk-ons, one-shot guest appearances in TV series, or non-notable short films — and I can find literally zero evidence that Sun TV, Star! or Fashion Television ever aired even one episode of her "hit" series Crimes of Fashion, let alone that it actually ran for long enough to be deemed a "hit". (To be fair, that doesn't necessarily mean it didn't exist — but a central tenet of Wikipedia is verifiability, so things can exist but still not be notable if media never covered them at all.) And the references present in the article aren't reliable sources, either: three are primary sources that aren't support for notability at all, and the only one that's real media is a defunct neighbourhood hyperlocal that isn't archived anywhere for us to reverify what it did or didn't actually say — and even if we could recover that, it still takes more than just one reliable source to make a person notable enough. So none of this gets her over WP:GNG, and the list of roles doesn't hand her a free notability pass that exempts her from having to get over GNG on the sources.

 * Delete I cannot find any sources that demonstrate that she is even remotely notable. According to the article's table, over half of her roles are in non-notable works. The majority of the remainder are small roles. Furthermore, it appears that Riva Di Paola created her own article. If she is notable, then the article should be deleted so that it can be remade in a non-autobiographical form. &#8213; Susmuffin Talk 16:45, 23 June 2019 (UTC)
