Delete. A dead link and and unreliable source (IMDB). Started by a blocked editor who seems to have been a Power Rangers fan with only a vague concept of notability let alone WP:NOTABILITY. Unless some WP:RS are found, fails WP:SIGCOV and WP:GNG. DerbyCountyinNZ ^{(Talk Contribs)} 02:46, 16 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Keep as the actress isn't entirely not notable. Started by a blocked user isn't a BIG problem since articles can always be improved. In view of the response of @DerbyCountyinNZ, IMDB isn't unreliable and dead link doesn't mean that the article doesn't have a way out. New sources can always be found :) .

- Wikipedia:Reliable sources#User-generated content lists IMBD as generally unreliable. DerbyCountyinNZ ^{(Talk Contribs)} 07:53, 16 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Keep thanks to the good work of User:Dnllnd. --Mr. Vernon (talk) 07:36, 18 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Significant roles in Power Rangers Jungle Fury, Underbelly NZ: Land Of The Long Green Cloud and Second Hand Wedding [1] satisfies WP:NACTOR. Also won a major award at the 2008 Qantas Film and Television Awards [2]. duffbeerforme (talk) 10:36, 16 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Duffbeerforme, how about the lack of sources? We could always dratify it. --Tyw7 (🗣️ Talk) — If (reply) then (ping me) 19:47, 16 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Why draft it, She is notable, We have sourcing that verifies that. The current lack of sources in the article. Look offline, big New Zealand libraries would be the best place to look. The expectation that sources must be able to be found easily online is not realistic. Sources can be offlne. duffbeerforme (talk) 05:33, 17 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - Agree with comments already made above. This is an example of nominating for deletion when flagging it for improvement would have been more appropriate. The dead link, for example, was easily replaced. I've also added text and refs to flesh out the lead.--Dnllnd (talk) 16:09, 16 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Keep as the article has been improved with the addition of multiple reliable sources such as New Zealand newspaper sources and the actress also has significant roles to pass WP:NACTOR and has won a notable award, passes WP:Basic as well, imv Atlantic306 (talk) 20:18, 16 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Keep thanks to Dnllnd's improvements. -- Toughpigs (talk) 23:13, 16 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Keep: There are plenty of New Zealand Herald articles out there (I'll add a few), so I think the subject meets WP:GNG. (Though WP:NACTOR wasn't invoked, I think the subject meets its requirements all the same.) Dflaw4 (talk) 07:34, 18 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: I've added some New Zealand Herald sources to the article and I've made some text and formatting amendments as well. Dflaw4 (talk) 08:42, 18 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
