Content of this article seem to be entirely school age vandalism/gossip. Falcadore (talk) 01:26, 16 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. This article appears to have a long history of vandalism and unconstructive edits. I deleted some seemingly irrelevant personal stuff, which leaves only a few of her credits. IMDb says she's had roles in four different Australian TV series, so it's possible she's a legitimate TV star down there, but I couldn't find any independent sources to back this up. Will be happy to !vote keep if some such sources can be identified.--Arxiloxos (talk) 06:31, 16 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete as essentially unsourced BLP of a non-notable actress. Carrite (talk) 18:57, 17 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

~~Keep~~ Comment Youth notwithstanding, her roles as the major characters of Brittany Flune in 25 episodes of the children's television series Mortified for Nine Network Australia, Disney Australia and the BBC, and Natasha Hamilton in 26 episodes of the Seven Network's children's teen drama Trapped can at least be verified. And as such would seem to have her meeting WP:ENTERTAINER. Do we toss any article because it is subjject to vandalism? Or might we assume a little good faith in the significant roles in multiple television shows and dig a little further ourselves? Schmidt, ^{MICHAEL Q.} 22:47, 17 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The lack of policing of such vandalism would suggest that notability is relatively low. There does not seem to be much attempt to expand the article to cover these performances. --Falcadore (talk) 02:16, 18 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

While there have been some minor instances of true vandalism, such minimal vandalism has been quickly dealt with and reverted... so there is no more "lack of policing" than there is for any other article. And in reviewing the history, it seems that the majority of the edits seem more to be more in the line of inexperienced editors trying to improve the article and is thus indicative that there is interest in the subject. That this one has not yet been expanded by experienced editors simply means it has not yet been expanded. Schmidt, ^{MICHAEL Q.} 20:56, 18 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

~~Keep~~ Comment - There is a point about this, while Mitchell lacks some degree of guest roles on other Australian television series, aside from her contract roles in three series; Mitchell's role as a series regular on three different series within the succession of five years would place some degree of notability, any vandalism of the article should not determine whether it is notable or not. My suggestion is that it should be expanded to feature a section with some minor information on her early life and more detailed resume information, similar to other actor biographies, and time should be allowed for users to find sources to back up the factual statements.

Keep not everything is posted online - ghits isn't everything - major roles in multiple significant children's series is sufficient. Suggest semi-protection or pending edit protection if vandalism is a problem, not deletion. The-Pope (talk) 16:20, 21 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Regular/recurring roles in multiple national TV series satisfies WP:ENT, an SNG enjoying broad consensus support. Hullaballoo Wolfowitz (talk) 01:57, 24 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
