Child actress with only one real role on Desperate Housewives, but I cannot verify that she’s actually been in 27 episodes. Other roles are 2 minor appearances and an uncredited extra. Does not meet WP:GNG. Most search hits/news are about her famous sister (teen actress Demi Lovato) and happen to mention her. Only one mention of her role on DH, and it deals with her weight. Without a famous sister, is she notable? Being related to someone notable does not warrant an entry. --Logical Fuzz (talk) 19:19, 5 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. In my view, having a credited role on Desperate Housewives for 27 episodes is notable. I note however that WP:ENT speaks of "significant roles in multiple notable films, television shows, stage performances, or other productions". Agree that having a famous sister does not establish notability. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Mkativerata (talk • contribs) 20:43, 5 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I question the accuracy of IMDB saying she's been in 27 episodes because she is definitely a minor character. The list includes almost all episodes in the last 2 seasons. (I can find many examples for other actors in IMDB where the # of episodes is inaccurate.) --Logical Fuzz (talk) 20:58, 5 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Her character was part of an recurring theme with child obesity, so it's not unlikely she appeared in two dozen episodes. See [1], which also mentions an article in US magazine from October 20, 2008. Gimmetrow 01:34, 6 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Had a significant role in a notable TV series, appearing in 20+ episodes over two seasons. Actors with a significant role in one show are typically considered notable, regardless of what WP:ENT may say about "multiple" shows. Gimmetrow 18:16, 15 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per meeting WP:ENT. Doubt IMDB is one wishes, but the show's own episode credits are acceptable for verifying her 28 episodes of Desperate Housewives. That the show and its actors are the center of a large cult following is a further meeting the criteria of WP:ENT. Schmidt, ^{MICHAEL Q.} 22:21, 17 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
