[edit] Emma Lung

Nom. for deletion. Bit actor; the role in House of Wax was uncredited, and she has nothing else notable on her IMDB resume. --M@rēino 14:39, 8 April 2006 (UTC)

• Delete Non-notable biography, either as an actress or Olympian.  (aeropagitica)  (talk)  15:52, 8 April 2006 (UTC)
• Weak delete, she is a bit actor, but if she also was in the Olympics this might push her past the notability bar. However, I can't verify that she was in the 2000 Olympics but I'd change my vote if someone could back this up. --Deville (Talk) 15:53, 8 April 2006 (UTC)
• Obvious Keep. About a dozen IMDB credits, including a regular role in TV series. Passes the legendary Kadee Strickland test with flying colors, which means that she's not only notable, but FA-material. Monicasdude 19:45, 8 April 2006 (UTC)
• Delete per Deville. Harro5 05:48, 9 April 2006 (UTC)
• Obvious delete. Bit player, whose "best-known" role isn't even credited. What the existing-only-in-Monicadude's-mind "Kadee Strickland test" is, I dunno (though thanking mercies for small favors, he didn't bring up "Air Force Amy" again). A dozen roles on IMDB is nothing, and the "starring role" on the TV series? Here's what an IMDB reviewer said about that series:

The Cooks, based on Network TEN's low rating 2003 tele-movie/pilot "Temptation" was one of the lowest rating drama premieres and was quickly dumped in a late-night time-slot to waste away (TEN couldn't axe The Cooks as it would jeopardise their Australian content quota). --Calton | Talk 05:55, 9 April 2006 (UTC)

• Strong Keep. Even though I think is not a great movie, Peaches (2004) is notable, and though the charter that she plays is listed third it is a major part (pivotal) and a lot more than a "bit". Article needs a bit of a rewrite though, with a de-emphasis on the House of Wax and removal of the Olympics (unless verification can be shown).--blue520 14:35, 9 April 2006 (UTC)
• Keep, people will come to Wikipedia to look for information about her. bbx 05:18, 10 April 2006 (UTC)
• keep please this person is notable Yuckfoo 05:33, 10 April 2006 (UTC)
• Keep --Haham hanuka 14:38, 10 April 2006 (UTC)
• Keep -- She was a regular cast member in the Australian drama series, The Cooks and went onto to recently star opposite Hugo Weaving in the Australian film Peaches released in 2004. She is by no means a bit part actor. However, I would like to see both The Cooks and Peaches articles created.-- CHANLORD ^[T]/_[C] 04:40, 11 April 2006 (UTC)

UPDATE: I have made significant changes to the article. Please have a look. -- CHANLORD ^[T]/_[C] 05:08, 11 April 2006 (UTC)

• • Thumbs up to Chanlord for improving the article. I didn't realize that much of her work was Australian; I naively assumed that the shows were American-made, and therefore were flops b/c they never made it onto American TV. --M@rēino 13:55, 11 April 2006 (UTC)
• Weak Delete. Most of her roles are uncredited and/or in redlinked movies. Stifle (talk) 14:38, 11 April 2006 (UTC)

• Peaches and Garage Days were wide release Australian films and I'll be working to write articles about them as with the rest of the films/TV shows -- CHANLORD ^[T]/_[C] 14:42, 11 April 2006 (UTC)

• NOTE: Please also note that a google search for Emma Lung (without quotes) gets a lot of verifiable hits. She may be an Australian actress but she is still a feature film actress (and has been a leading one at that) and if Kevin Bacon's daughter, who's only claim to fame is having a famous dad and appearing in one film, can have an article, why can't Emma Lung? -- CHANLORD ^[T]/_[C] 00:46, 12 April 2006 (UTC)

• Keep as per the convincing arguments (and article improvements) made by both Chanlord and blue520. Can't sleep, clown will eat me 08:26, 13 April 2006 (UTC)
