CitingWikipedia:Articles for deletion/Argiris Karras as precedent, actors who are only notable for their appearance on "Degrassi: The Next Generation", and have little (ie. IMDb) to none sources, should be redirected to List of Degrassi: The Next Generation characters. 117Avenue (talk) 22:06, 28 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy keep. The cited "precedent" resulted in a redirect without deletion; therefore, there is no basis for bringing the matter to AFD rather than pursuing normal editorial processes. Hullaballoo Wolfowitz (talk) 17:28, 2 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - As for the "speedy" keep, what are you talking about? Speedy has specific requirements, and in fact, I don't even think it's a keep. The argument is that she's not notable for being on Degrassi. The AfD supports that. That's a relevant reason. Would change if there's sufficient notability to meet bio notability otherwise.

- Comment. One basis for a speedy keep !vote is that the nominator "fails to advance an argument for deletion—perhaps only proposing a non-deletion action such as moving or merging." Here, the nominator cited a "precedent" resulting in a non-deletion action. QED. Hullaballoo Wolfowitz (talk) 17:15, 5 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

What more do you want me to say? I think that this person is not notable, and I have opened it for discussion so that I am not accused of a mass deletion. 117Avenue (talk) 19:22, 5 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Keep and redirect - no reason given for deletion, this should have been handled through editorial processes rather than here. ~~ GB fan ~~ ^talk 18:14, 5 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Second relist rationale. The article is a BLP. --Ron Ritzman (talk) 00:11, 12 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Keep – Multiple reliable sources report on her role in Degrassi, for which she is well-known, and for which she won an award as part of the ensemble of actors. I added a citation to the Toronto Star just now, as just one example of brief but non-trivial coverage. It's acceptable that some of the article is sourced to her CTV bio (non-independent sources can be used to verify non-promotional info), though the article does need some neutrality cleanup.

I don't see how that makes her more notable than other actors who don't have an article. 117Avenue (talk) 23:57, 14 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Weak keep -- more notable than some other DeGrassi actors.[1][2]
