Article created from a previously PROD'd version, fails WP:GNG and WP:BIO. Other than a geneology book full of names and birthdates, every reference is a primary source, either the subject's resume or the subject's website. The only exception is a very brief mention as part of a cast that won an award, but this brief mention does not convey notability, per WP:BASIC. SudoGhost 18:14, 23 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

- Delete - No signficant coverage in reliable sources. The article is full of name dropping. Notability is not inherited by graduating with well-known actors. -- Whpq (talk) 16:25, 26 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- keep - Not name dropping, she appeared in a major hollywood movie, "The Witches" two hole series of children television program wiz bang, from 1991 to 1993, including the critically acclaimed and award winning four part Channel 4 TV mini-series "G.B.H.", with Robert Lindsay and Michael Palin as well as other tv series such as "Bergerac", "Robin of Sherwood" and "Forever Green" — Preceding unsigned comment added by 188.29.8.87 (talk) 10:01, 29 March 2012 (UTC) — 188.29.8.87 (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.

- Can you provide a source for this? Because the article completely lacks any reliable sources that make even the slightest mention of this; the article fails WP:GNG. Simply appearing in a movie doesn't make a person notable, especially if no reliable sources can be presented to establish such notability. - SudoGhost 11:47, 29 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep - Compared to other articles of BLP, such as Liza Tarbuck and Mark Womack who are listed on her page, i think this worth keeping and given time to develope it could be a good article, also she is mentioned on IMDB, and to be honest there are far less notable Actors out there with articles on wiki. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Coltjonas (talk • contribs) 10:37, 29 March 2012 (UTC) — Coltjonas (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.

- The existence of other articles does not have any bearing on this article. IMDB is not a reliable source, having an entry there is not notable in any way, the requirements for inclusion on IMDB are much, much less than what Wikipedia requires. Having an IMDB entry does not come close to establishing notability for a Wikipedia article. IMDB also has no editorial oversight on the content itself, . The article has no reliable sources that establish the notability of the subject, per WP:GNG. - SudoGhost 11:47, 29 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep - Ive got the DVD box set of "G.B.H", and shes in it alright, she features quite significantly, in episodes one and two. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 188.29.50.168 (talk) 16:23, 29 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- That doesn't establish any notability, doesn't meet any of the requirements at either WP:ACTOR or WP:GNG. Please note that your IP geolocates to the same city and ISP as the other IP. If you are the same editor as had previously edited, giving the appearance of multiple "keeps" does not help, this discussion is not a vote. Unless the article can be shown to satisfy WP:GNG, the article has no place on Wikipedia. Saying someone was in a programme is fine, but without backing that up by establishing notability with reliable sources, it doesn't make for a convincing argument to keep the article. - SudoGhost 20:42, 29 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

- Delete barring sources which demonstrate notability under either WP:GNG or WP:ENT. I was unable to discover reliable, secondary sources which provided any in-depth coverage to demonstrate the former and the roles aren't evidenced by reliable sources to meet the latter.
Doesn't appear to be nearly as famous as the auctioneer of the same name.--joe deckertalk to me 01:33, 2 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]- Adjusted my rationale in view of MQS pointing out that "the auctioneer" is the same person. Whoops. Still not seeing depth in the sources, but MQS is correct that there is at least some WP:V value in those sources. --joe deckertalk to me 05:57, 3 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete there is only one 'keep' vote that has a valid argument, but I can't find anything to back up his/her claims. I personally can't find any secondary sources for this subject demonstrating notability. Fails WP:GNG and WP:ACTOR MisterRichValentine (talk) 15:55, 2 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete In looking at available sources,[1] it does seem that she and her auction house, co-owned with her partner Deba Gray, have turned up receiving auction-related coverage... some of which might verify earlier facts of her career. But for the most part, her work as an actress has not received coverage, and we rarely find those who create commercial advertisements or PSA's to have notability unless there is tremendous media impact or major awards for such... and if that were true, she might have a whack at hitting WP:ANYBIO or WP:CREATIVE even if weak on WP:ENT.

- Delete no evidence of meeting WP:ENT. LibStar (talk) 07:17, 4 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
