WP:NACTOR states an actress attains notability once she had significant roles in multiple notable films, television shows, stage performances, or other productions. The subject's only (arguably) significant role in a notable show is her role on Happy Town. I would assume one of those immeasurable number of TV movies on SyFy does not qualify as a notable film, especially as the particular one she's in has yet to be aired. Furthermore, every source just provides very brief passing mentions of the actress; none of them independently focus on the subject herself. Vanadus (talk | contribs) 03:27, 26 November 2011 (UTC)

 * Keep Though it is often difficult for a young actor to meet WP:BIO, this one does through WP:ANYBIO for her multiple award nominations, and yes.. for meeting WP:ENT. For someone who has a so-far short career, she's doing very well. And to the nominator, the GNG is not the only mesuring stick for determining notability... and as long as the articles do speak about her dirctly and in some detail, she need NOT be the main focus of such coverage, and what IS required in a BLP is verifability of her career and her awards, and such verifiability does not itself have to be significant coverage. Time to fix the article... not delete it.  Schmidt,  MICHAEL Q. 05:15, 27 November 2011 (UTC)
 * I didn't even mention GNG but it sounds like you think she happens to fail that too while acknowledging her lack of in-depth coverage (failing WP:BASIC). As an actress and only an actress, WP:NACTOR (or WP:ENT as you insist) would be a far more determining criteria than ANYBIO; that's why NACTOR exists. And she doesn't meet it until she appears in a second significant role. Regarding WP:V, there is no verifiability of her passing ENT. Just being able to confirm she's appeared in a slew of very minor roles does not establish notability even for a BLP. Furthermore, I cannot find any credible evidence of her Young Artist award nomination in 2010 for Best Performance in a TV Drama Series (for guest starring young actress as IMDB claims). A list of nominees is here since the Young Artist Foundation website for whatever reason decided to remove it. Even further, the YAA are of questionable notability, with yourself even commenting they should be merged into YAF. The prestige of awards are generally determined by the notability of the winners, not the other way around.


 * But importantly, even if 2 minor YAA noms do somehow qualify for ANYBIO#1, WP:BIO mentions meeting one or more [additional criteria] does not guarantee that a subject should be included, and in this case the combination of her complete lack of SIGCOV, her failure of ENT, and her relative obscurity (surely not significant, interesting, or unusual enough to deserve attention or to be recorded per BIO right?) far outweigh her marginal at best passage of ANYBIO.

 * Keep per Schmidt. Passes WP:ANYBIO#1 per award noms.--Cavarrone (talk) 09:40, 28 November 2011 (UTC)
