The result was redirect to Primeval. I never close on 1 !vote but A) as noted below (and at the prev AFD) there's absolutely nothing on her notability wise(The sources below are poor in terms of notability her), and B) It seems the obvious outcome to redirect to something she's known for and plus redirects are cheap anyway.

There are other articles on Wiki with less notability and less citations and yet no one is pushing for those to be deleted? This page was deleted originally on account of notability due to Ms Kearney having had less than two notable roles - at the time, Primeval and Tyrant. Since then, she has starred in series three of The Following in a major role as well as been confirmed as a regular in an upcoming production. Define notability, please, as am sure over 50% of actress/actor Wiki pages will fail compared to your definition also. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 109.176.104.122 (talk) 11:43, 21 August 2015 (UTC) — 109.176.104.122 (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.
 * Comment: Further to the above, may I request the article be secured if it is allowed to remain? It's been up less than 24 hours and already some 'anti-fans' have amended several times to reflect what they wish to be true. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 109.176.104.122 (talk) 12:00, 21 August 2015 (UTC)


 *  Keep Redirect to Primeval per Articles for deletion/Ruth Kearney (2nd nomination) . The other articles we have on similar actors indicate a consensus on notability. Based on that two full seasons on Primeval and most of a season on The Following are minimally notable enough to pass WP:ENT. However I can not find enough coverage in independent reliable sources to verify and sustain a free standing article. Note passing notability guidelines permit but do not require an article. In this case it is still WP:TOOSOON  J bh  Talk  14:25, 21 August 2015 (UTC) - Updated !vote.  J bh  Talk  20:47, 21 August 2015 (UTC) Updated rational.  J bh  Talk  16:21, 26 August 2015 (UTC)
 * Keep I admit to being biased as I've been working on this for almost a year and will keep it updated as and when new information and sources become available. As stated above, there are articles on similar subjects where notability has not been an issue. Updated to add: We've now got confirmation she'll be in all 8 episodes of the new Netflix show 'Flaked' & will be the female lead AlexaP-83 (talk) 17:44, 21 August 2015 (UTC) — AlexaP-83 (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.
 * Keep Actress is gaining in recognition as roles increase. Notability will no doubt increase as a result. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.17.8.180 (talk) 20:22, 21 August 2015 (UTC)  — 92.17.8.180 (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.
 * Keep Sources for The Following:   . Sources for Flaked: - show is in pre-production so more sources will become available. JustGR (talk) 21:03, 21 August 2015 (UTC) — JustGR (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.
 * Further independent sources (I haven't added these to the page as don't want to mess it up)      — Preceding unsigned comment added by JustGR (talk • contribs) 14:29, 22 August 2015 (UTC)


 * Comment I went through the referenced provided in the article, most were not RS or were inappropriate. TheCult TV Awards are not a major award. There is really no coverage about her and very little biographical information. After reviewing this material I am more solidly convinced it is WP:TOOSOON for this subject.
