The result was speedy keep. Closing, the nominator is a sock puppet and it's pretty obvious she's a notable figure given her award nominations etc. Missvain (talk) 02:15, 11 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Delete: Not a notable actress, winning minor Canadian awards is not the same as notability.--NL19931993 (talk) 23:31, 5 January 2020 (UTC) nom blocked for sockpuppetry[reply]
Keep. Both the Canadian Screen Award nomination and the VFCC award win are major, not "minor", awards which are notability clinchers for an actress; the Atlantic Film Festival less so, admittedly, but that's not her primary notability claim and the other two are most certainly more than enough. The Canadian Screen Award for Best Actress is a top-level national acting award, for which there can be zero people in that list who are somehow off limits for us to have an article about — if her name appears in that list at all, then an article must be unconditionally allowed to exist, and notability questions are automatically off the table forever. In the entire history of that award, there are just four actresses who don't have articles yet — and even that's only because nobody's gotten around to them yet, not because they're somehow not notable in the first place: everybody in that list must be either an existing article or a valid potential article topic, with zero exceptions. And furthermore, the article cites numerous reliable sources — the only one that's even slightly questionable is supporting the weakest notability claim (AFF), while the stronger ones are supported by the Halifax Chronicle Herald and the bloody mothertrucking CBC, so the sourcing is not a problem here.

Weak Delete: has only had one significant role (as far as I can see), so I don't think she quite meets WP:NACTOR at the moment. Dflaw4 (talk) 08:42, 7 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Except that she got nominated for a top-level national acting award for it, and won another notable acting award for it, both of which mean an article must be allowed to exist about her. Notable acting awards are, in and of themselves, notability clinchers for an actor regardless of how many other roles she has or hasn't had. Bearcat (talk) 16:26, 7 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Keep I think Bearcat has it right here. XOR'easter (talk) 19:37, 7 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Relisting comment: Following my speedy close of the DRV at Wikipedia:Deletion review/Log/2020 January 10 I am relisting this. Note that the nominator's opinion should be discounted, as they have been banned, but subsequent good faith !votes should be assessed as normal.

Keep per nom. Important to note the nom was blocked for sockpuppetry. ミラ P 20:37, 10 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
