[edit] Imelda Concepcion

Imelda Concepcion (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) - (View log)

Minor Filippino actress of the 50's (although that would be hard to figure out from the current sub-stub). Her career, as far as IMdB knows [1], consists of six films and only one where she has the lead role. No references are provided in the article and unless some reliable sources comes up, I believe she is way too obscure an actress to keep an article about. Pascal.Tesson 05:18, 22 January 2007 (UTC)

• Delete -- fails WP:BIO --Veesicle (Talk) (Contribs) 05:35, 22 January 2007 (UTC)
• Keep. Had lead role in a film. Hard to find sources on 50's actors, since internet did not exist then. -- Chris is me _(u/c/t) 05:39, 22 January 2007 (UTC)
• Keep due to lead role in film. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 16:31, 22 January 2007 (UTC)
• Weak keep - bad writing (or machine translation?) is not grounds for deletion. However, the article needs serious help. I'm not sure how notable even a lead actress in a 1950s Philippine movie really is - how many movies were made in the Philippines then, and how many people watched them? - but I'm willing to give the benefit of the doubt on this one.

Comment Actually, my worry is that we have absolutely no indication whatsoever about the notability of these 6 films themselves. IMDb now includes pretty much anyone that was ever released anywhere. In the absence of reliable third-party sources specifically concerning this actress, I'm not sure we can ever hope to avoid the concerns of verifiability. Pascal.Tesson 22:43, 22 January 2007 (UTC)

• Comment Not that I feel that strongly about the whole thing but am I the only one worried that this does not meet our threshold standards of verifiability and Wikipedia is not a directory? As far as anyone can tell, this is a very minor actress from the 50's who had one lead role in a film whose importance is not established. That's pretty much all we can say and it seems that this is just a directory entry. IMDb does that for you. Pascal.Tesson 17:08, 23 January 2007 (UTC)
