Taylor Dooley

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Her only major role was in The Adventures of Sharkboy and Lavagirl in 3-D (all her other roles were either minor or guest roles or in short, non-notable films), which she was nominated for, but did not win, a single award and she has not contributed to the entertainment industry in any way. While she does have an official website and Twitter account, they are not being updated or referred to frequently, a good indication that she is not a mainstream actress (in fact, she has not acted in nearly four years), and cannot be used alone to determine her fan base. Any fan site I see are either Wikipedia mirrors or talk about her as Lavagirl only, the latter violating our policy of WP:NOTINHERITED as she is being liked only because her character or the film is popular (in fact, the article was created around the time of the movie's release), though this does not seem to be the case for critics and box office statistics. Clearly, she fails WP:ANYBIO and WP:NACTOR. The former states that an individual must have won a notable award or be nominated for several ones while the latter states an actor must have done significant roles in multiple well-known films and shows.

 * Merge (selectively) to The Adventures of Sharkboy and Lavagirl in 3-D. I can't find much in-depth coverage of her online, just this much-reproduced biography and a pay-to-view article I've not read. But the article on the film has a rather scrappy cast section that her basic bio could be included in. --Colapeninsula (talk) 16:26, 1 March 2013 (UTC)

 * Redirect to The Adventures of Sharkboy and Lavagirl in 3-D. Nothing to really merge (any article made up more gushing about an actor's friendships is content that needs to be removed), subject has starred only in low interest direct-to-DVD projects after Sharkboy. After eight years there's not really much here to justify an article for the subject.  Nate  • ( chatter ) 06:24, 16 March 2013 (UTC)

Comment - I don't think this person is notable; however, I don't know I'm allowed to make a vote here since I'm an IP. Am I? --24.145.65.56 (talk) 08:17, 17 March 2013 (UTC)
 * Of course, we don't disqualify IP's from voting in AfD's as long as they have good reasoning for their rationale.  Nate  • ( chatter ) 21:18, 17 March 2013 (UTC)

If that's the case then definitely delete - she was only in one major movie, everything else she's done is way low key. --24.145.65.56 (talk) 04:07, 18 March 2013 (UTC)
