 * Delete per nom, nothing more than bit parts. Oaktree b (talk) 21:14, 2 December 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete no evidence of notability. Kolma8 (talk) 21:53, 2 December 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete per everyone above. No reliable sources found during a Google search, only the standard unreliable sites like databases and social media. Reliable looking sites did not return anything about her. As I see, she has entries on other WPs as well, but the sourcing isn't great in any of them, either. In fact, they are horrible, as most of the pages are sourced solely to IMDb, or IMDb and another database. The Russian article has the most sources of them all, but the presented sources there are all promo/gossip stuff. Some of them contain no sources whatsoever. Isn't it WP policy, be in any language, that articles on living people must be well-sourced? Yeah, actually, it is. But anyways, this is the English version, and she is not notable. The article was nominated for deletion back in 2011, but survived. Notability hasn't been proven ever since. GhostDestroyer100 (talk) 12:11, 3 December 2020 (UTC)
 * Keep If a search is done for News, there are quite a few reliable sources on this actress. The funny thing is that the main reasons I found for the notability aren't really discussed in the article, so the piece does need some work, but multiple sources could be added if Samantha Droke's history on the Disney Channel and her relationships with Vanessa Hudgens and Ashley Tisdale, amongst others, would be discussed in more detail.--Concertmusic (talk) 21:34, 8 December 2020 (UTC)
 * My searches on Google News are bringing up "Just Jared" which isn't a reliable source and tabloids....– Davey 2010 Talk 21:07, 14 December 2020 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Weak delete - although she's had a lot of roles, I'm underwhelmed with the sourcing. Bearian (talk) 22:39, 8 December 2020 (UTC)

 * Keep  This is poorly written and sourced. I hate to see these types of pages get deleted, so I am gonna improve it a little. There are a lot more sources such as Deadline, MTV, People, etc and subject meets WP:GNG. She also has been in several well known Tv Series, medium, CSI, Gilmoure Girls and Eastweak (3 episodes).   Peter303x (talk) 01:36, 10 December 2020 (UTC)
 * Personally I wouldn't say Deadline and MTV were enough to establish notability here, She's been in the TV/Film industry since 2005 and has won 2 awards yet there's nothing online confirming any of this. I would expect better for someone who's been in said idustry for 10-15 years. – Davey 2010 Talk 21:07, 14 December 2020 (UTC)


 * Delete - if this were a newer actor, I would say this might be a case of WP:TOOSOON, but she's been around a while. Fails WP:GNG and WP:NACTOR.  Onel 5969  TT me 21:10, 16 December 2020 (UTC)
