Outstanding notability concerns have been on this article for years, and after reviewing it I'm inclined to believe the article should be deleted. Her only major role to date was as a regular on Cyberchase. All other roles have been in commercials or small parts on other shows. In my view, this fails the notability guideline for entertainers.

In addition, sourcing for this article has proven difficult, as the only attribution existing is to IMDB, which can be considered unreliable for biographies. A cursory check for sources found nothing usable for the article. This raises concerns about the verifiability of the article as well, which on BLPs is a particular worry. (It already had incorrect information on it, which I removed.) elektrik SHOOS (talk) 02:03, 24 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - her show and a spot in a few commercials aren't enough to be considered notable and there is a distinct lack of significant coverage as a result. Does not meet WP:GNG and as a BLP should be deleted. Cheers, Stalwart111 (talk) 03:11, 24 September 2012 (UTC).[reply]
Delete - I am familiar with her career and, yes, unfortunately, her only major appearances were Cyberchase and this is evident by Google News results. Although the first result (Herald-Journal) provides a brief biography, it would be insufficient for a Wikipedia article. Google Books also found minimal results with this book mentioning a play.

Redirect to List of Cyberchase characters#For Real segment characters, the role in the one series for which she has sourcability[1] and for which she won a shared Daytime Emmy award. Apart from that series, her other works have not received notice. Schmidt, ^{MICHAEL Q.} 19:50, 28 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
