Actress who I am trying to find notablity for. She was only in 5 films, which none of them even have a Wikipedia page for. Based off of the IMDB none of her roles seem that notable either (sole exception is Here Comes the Bridesmaid where she is the only credited person-then there is Crooked Dagger where the credits are in alphabetical order). (The most notable thing about her really is how long she lived and that is it) Wgolf (talk) 02:29, 21 April 2019 (UTC)Withdrawn[reply]

Comment She was not just in films - she was in Broadway musicals and on stage in vaudeville, with many write-ups in newspapers of the time. I will try to add more information, as well as references, to the article. (This article, like many others about performers, seems to have been created based on IMDB, and so is limited to screen performances, and to whatever information is on IMDB. It is not an accurate picture of her life, and is not adequate for assessing her notability.) RebeccaGreen (talk) 12:35, 21 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Comment-yeah I did find a stage actress with that name last night when I put this up, but I wasn't even sure if it was the same person due to the fact that the article made it sound like she was a film actress only. (Same thing happened a few weeks ago with a Finnish actor on a very old article I found from 2007 that made it sound like he was in 2 roles, one on film and a minor TV role when in fact he was a stage actor) Wgolf (talk) 20:55, 21 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Comment It was definitely the same person who was in those 5 films and on stage in vaudeville etc, but I don't know where the dates and places of birth and death that were originally in the article came from. She died in 1938, when her reported age was 41 or 42 - but a 1911 article says she had celebrated her 18th birthday the year before. So I have corrected the dates and added references. I am working on the article, so it probably seems rather disconnected right now. She definitely headlined shows, and was prominently named in news about the films, too.

Withdraw-thanks for finding all those refs. Goes to show what happens when the article isn't clear (yet another case where a AFD actually saved a article and made it notable), I looked earlier but I wasn't so sure and I was thinking that I'll just let others be the judge.
