The result was keep. Consensus, including from nominator, that she is presumed notable per WP:NACTOR - the support from other editors in this discussion transforms that presumption into actuality. (non-admin closure) —Ganesha811 (talk) 03:53, 17 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Once again, in the process of trying to verify biographical details, specifically her Watford origin, I was unable to locate any significant coverage about her. She has trivial mentions in reviews about her work (typically no more than one or two sentences), and in articles about her partner Mike Leigh. Again, I checked all the usual Google suspects, as well as WMF Library Oxford Dictionary of National Biography, and Newspapers.com and found nothing but trivial mentions or routine casting announcements. ♠PMC♠ (talk) 09:50, 9 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Well-known actress with appearances in notable films, shows and theatre productions. Played a major role in a very notable series (The Crown). Clearly notable. Sometimes common sense has to prevail. -- Necrothesp (talk) 15:26, 9 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. As stated above by Necrothesp, the subject has appeared in many notable films as well as performed in a major role in the series The Crown. Also, the subject was given a Screen Actors Guild award and was nominated for Supporting Actress of the Year by the London Film Critics' Circle Award, all of which are included in the subject's article. Meets WP:GNG and passes WP:BASIC. -AuthorAuthor (talk) 00:49, 10 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. As per WP:NACTOR criterion #1 Has had significant roles in multiple notable films which is clearly met as per the information in the first sentence of the article. I clicked through two of the films, saw she has a significant role in both of them. CT55555 (talk) 00:53, 11 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: Everyone arguing WP:NACTOR/existence of roles is ignoring the fact that NACTOR only suggests that a person is "likely to be notable" if they meet the criteria. NACTOR does not provide presumed notability or a pass from WP:GNG/the need for significant coverage. So far I have been unable to locate any significant coverage of the subject. If she is such an important and well-known actress, common sense would suggest that someone, somewhere, has written something significant about her. ♠PMC♠ (talk) 22:44, 11 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
