Non notable actor. Some hits but nothing I could find that would indicate notability. Currently sourced with just IMDB. Cardiffbear88 (talk) 16:59, 7 April 2020 (UTC)

 * Delete does not meet inclusion criteria for actresses. IMDb is not a reliable source. We really need to make "IMBD only source" grounds for speedy deletion that can only be overcome if one reliable source is added to the page. The article should never have survided the prod back in 2008. That some of her roles were characters that had names and spoke is no where near the threshold for determining a "significant" role in a notable production.John Pack Lambert (talk) 15:09, 8 April 2020 (UTC)
 * Comment Speedy deletion is a serious process that usually requires egregious misuse of the encyclopedia or obvious rule-breaking. This is why insufficient sources is not usually enough to go straight to speedy deletion with no cleanup or oversight. In my experience, there have been many pages sourced solely with IMDb that turned out to more than meet notability guidelines with a bit of searching. The reason we have AfD is to weed out the articles that can be improved from the ones that just have to be cut.IphisOfCrete (talk) 21:09, 8 April 2020 (UTC)


 * Weak Delete Although it seems like there should be more coverage for such a prolific, if not starring, actpr, I only found a couple of sources, not enough to meet notability guidelines.IphisOfCrete (talk) 21:09, 8 April 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete No real sourced content WP:N, WP:ANYBIO, WP:GNG, WP:NACTOR.--TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 03:41, 9 April 2020 (UTC)
 * Weak Keep: I'm tentatively voting "Weak Keep" while I wait for some sources to come back from WP:RX. I think the subject has just enough supporting roles in notable films plus a main role in Joanie Loves Chachi to make a weak case for WP:NACTOR, and I've also been able to ascertain (via newspapers.com) that she's had some main roles in plays. My vote is ultimately going to depend on the quality of the sourcing. Dflaw4 (talk) 04:58, 14 April 2020 (UTC)
 * Here are the sources, two of which span over two pages: here, here, here, here, and here. Dflaw4 (talk) 07:38, 14 April 2020 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Keep per . She played a leading character in a TV show that pops up often in trivia contests and memes, a show everyone loves to hate that wasn't that bad. Bearian (talk) 00:51, 15 April 2020 (UTC)
