- Keep: non-notable performer?! Have you googled "Sondra currie"? have you checked the huge list of appearances in IMDB on television and in movies? She had major roles back in the 70s and is still active even today in the 2013 movie "The Hangover III"! To me, that's far from being "non-notable". And BTW, what "s.p.a."? -- Lyverbe (talk) 00:12, 17 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Reply - the s.p.a. that brought her to my attention is User:Ajlscl14.--Orange Mike | Talk 18:22, 17 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- No, I mean what is the meaning of "s.p.a."? I realize now that I missed a "is" in my original question which made it confusing. I now assume "a" stands for "administrator" but I'd like to know the rest. -- Lyverbe (talk) 21:56, 17 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- A single-purpose account (s.p.a.) is a Wikimedia account which is clearly not there to improve the project, but rather to accomplish a single purpose, be it to bump up the visibility of a performer or to fill all feminism-related articles with scathing misogynist "rebuttals" of the errors of feminism. In this case, the only thing Ajlsc114 has ever done here is to alter articles to make Currie look more important. --Orange Mike | Talk 01:43, 18 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Ah, thanks for the explanation. I've looked at the list of changes and User:Ajlscl14 made relatively small changes to the article. I fail to see how it was "puffed up" by him. -- Lyverbe (talk) 02:03, 18 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

- Keep Looking at her credits on IMDB I can see she has had a long and notable career. She has started in some films as the main character even. Dream Focus 05:12, 17 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- reply - all the IMDb listing shows is that she has worked for a long while. There is no coverage in the article outside of databases to show that her work has ever attracted the attention of anybody who writes about television or film, in spite of almost forty years in the industry. There are bit players who never attract attention, who may be thought of well by casting directors, but who nonetheless fail our standards of notability; and the lack of sources implies to me that this is one such performer. --Orange Mike | Talk 18:22, 17 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- See WP:NACTOR. Its clearly met. "Has had significant roles in multiple notable films, television shows, stage performances, or other productions." Dream Focus 02:16, 18 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

- Keep per WP:MOVIE. Clearly meets the requirements. --Demiurge1000 (talk) 01:53, 18 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- huh? WP:MOVIE is for notability of films, not performers. --Orange Mike | Talk 02:01, 18 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- The first sentence of WP:MOVIE says "The notability guideline for film-related articles is a standard for deciding if a film-related topic can have its own article". --Demiurge1000 (talk) 21:29, 22 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

- Keep I'm surprised this debate is still open. Even though most of her TV work consists of one-time roles, the sheer volume of her TV work alone makes her notable, and that's without mentioning her film history. 64.201.173.145 (talk) 20:30, 22 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep Despite the verbosity of the nominator, who does bring up some good arguments, fundamentally this person clearly meets WP:NACTOR for her multiple roles in notable films. Mkdwtalk 22:38, 23 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
