Its been 7 months since this was last discussed and there are still no reliable sources out there. Google is a bunch on unreliable sites, google news [1] has 3 hits none of which discuss her in any detail, and google books appears to be someone else. So we still have nothing verifiable about her. Her best part is a made for TV movie and I am not persuaded that we will ever be able to produce an article that is a proper BLP.

Keep. Invalid GNews search, which covers only the last 30 days. Recurring roles in multiple TV series. No reason to delete in haste, even though nonprint sources may be difficult to turn up quickly. Hullaballoo Wolfowitz (talk) 20:44, 19 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Did you find any sources yet or are we still assessing notability by assertion here? Spartaz ^Humbug! 05:50, 20 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Keep in agreement with User:Hullaballoo Wolfowitz. Actor's career seems to push nicely at WP:ENT. I further note that cleanup and improvement through regular editing are surmountable issues and no one having done so is a reason to do it... not delete it.

its been over 6 months and still no sources and I see that neither of you are able to offer any either. This is a BLP and it needs to be sourced. Something will turn up is not an acceptable argument if there are no sources out there. Spartaz ^Humbug! 05:36, 20 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
While acknowledging the importance of a proper BLP, I do not think my suggestion toward regular editing is any less useful than yours of "delete per WP:NOEFFORT". It is not entirely unverifiable... as her career meeting WP:ENT can at least be verified through the programs and films themselves... nor is it completely unsourced or unsourcable, else it would have been gone. User:Hullaballoo Wolfowitz did make a valid point that your proffered G-news search only covered the past 30 days... but yes, the Find sources gives many false positives because of her common name. Barring other coverage, failing GNG does not invalidate meeting ENT... specially if meeting ENT can at least be verified. I suppose I can spend some time sifting theough the 80 news hits[2] and 45,00 G-hits[3] to see which is she. Schmidt, ^{MICHAEL Q.} 07:30, 20 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so consensus may be reached.

Keep. While I understand Spartaz's frustration, past precedent here has been to keep TV personalities with a long record that can be verified, even if they are BLPs without proper sourcing, see e.g., Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Pete_Williams_(journalist).
