The result was keep. Most participants judge that her roles in multiple productions were significant enough to indicate presumed notability under WP:NACTOR. Since the arguments for deletion also focus on the same SNG (just making the opposite judgment about the significance of her roles), the majority judgment is enough for a keep result in this discussion.

Keep. The top 10,000 of the IMDb StarMeter is a good sign for notability, and she has been in the top 10,000 for much of the time over the last 20 years. I would give her the benefit of the doubt as to notability. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 06:51, 4 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Where in our notability guidelines does it say to use an IMDb ranking to judge notability? Also, IMDb is not considered a reliable source.--Rusf10 (talk) 14:35, 4 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Weak keep I found a number of pieces from reliable sources that talk about her film and theatre career. Her performances in certain stage productions have been noticed by the press. Yet not the greatest case for notability. Perhaps someone with theatre chops or who has Variety access could find and add more. --DiamondRemley39 (talk) 15:24, 4 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Extensive filmography Djflem (talk) 13:30, 5 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Keep: several main roles in notable films (Heat, Jaws: The Revenge, Criminal Law, among others). Meets WP:NACTOR. A definite keep, in my opinion. Dflaw4 (talk) 10:16, 6 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - lead roles on Broadway and several supporting roles in films. She was rated a top ten performer by the New Yorker. Bearian (talk) 19:45, 7 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Relisting comment: While an absolute numerical reading of the votes would make it a Keep, at least one Keep vote isn't policy backed, so a relist for a clearer consensus seems reasonable (particularly due to disagreement over specific SNGs being satisfied). If it becomes very obvious in a couple of days I'm happy to close it then, if preferred
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Nosebagbear (talk) 01:21, 11 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - as noted above, prominent roles in several notable films, including Heat, Jaws: The Revenge, and Daylight. Looking at this one, not sure why it’s subject to an AfD. Shelbystripes (talk) 05:40, 11 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Keep This is not really a WP:PILEON as I have conducted a minor WP:BEFORE and the person is clearly notable per WP:NACTOR. Lightburst (talk) 21:10, 11 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Per Lightburst. Funny enough, I've seen her in many movies and didn't know who she was until this AfD. Missvain (talk) 04:35, 12 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
