Sophie Turner (actress)

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Individual currently fails WP:NACTOR and WP:ANYBIO (the former states that an individual must have won an award for be nominated for several notable ones while the latter states an actor must have done significant roles in multiple well-known films and shows) as her only role is Sansa Stark in Game of Thrones, which she was nominated for, but did not win, a single award. She has also not contributed to the entertainment industry in any way and does not have a major fan base even if the show does. To say an actor is notable just because her character or the show she is acting in is notable violates WP:NOTINHERITED. While she is currently working on a film, we can't assume that it will make her "notable" for a Wikipedia article as we are not a crystal ball. The Legendary Ranger (talk) 01:59, 1 March 2013 (UTC)
 * Keep as she passes WP:GNG, and it isn't needed to pass both the GNG and the relevant SNG. Jclemens (talk) 05:02, 1 March 2013 (UTC)
 * Keep A search on my reliable sources search engine for "Sophie Turner" "Game of Thrones" results in approximately 85,000 hits (see my user page for link to search engine). I think 85 thousand sources is enough to establish notability. A Quest For Knowledge (talk) 05:58, 1 March 2013 (UTC)
 * Keep. While neither Google hits nor participating in a notable show convey notability, Sophie Turner has been the subject of sufficient coverage in media sources to pass WP:GNG, e.g., , . Although more (and more thorough) coverage would be preferable, we should also take reader interest into account.  Sandstein   07:10, 1 March 2013 (UTC)
 * Keep General notability provided by her ongoing role in Game of Thrones which leads to sufficient coverage in media outlets etc. Miyagawa (talk) 09:55, 3 March 2013 (UTC)
