[edit] Carol Potter (actress)

Carol Potter (actress) (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs)

Non-notable actress. Speedy was contested, but there's very little assertion of notability in the article. Subject fails WP:BIO. Valrith 21:44, 6 November 2006 (UTC)

  • Keep per WP:BIO. She was a regular on Beverly Hills 90210 for several years. --Metropolitan90 22:10, 6 November 2006 (UTC)
    • This is not a criterion for inclusion. There are no WP:RS written about her, which is why she doesn't satisfy any of the actual criteria:
The person has been the primary subject of multiple non-trivial published works whose source is independent of the person.
Multiple features in popular culture publications such as Vogue, GQ, Elle, FHM or national newspapers
A large fan base, fan listing or "cult" following
An independent biography
Name recognition
Commercial endorsements
  • On Wikipeida, decisions are by consensus. WP:BIO is not policy, but a general guideline not meant to automatically exclude subjects that might be notable. --Oakshade 22:29, 7 November 2006 (UTC)
  • Oh, and I forgot to add the other part of WP:BIO you left out:
"Notable actors and television personalities who have appeared in well-known films or television productions. Notability can be determined by: Multiple features in popular culture publications such as Vogue, GQ, Elle, FHM or national newspapers" Sorry 'bout that. --Oakshade 00:22, 8 November 2006 (UTC)
She did appear in a well-known television production and does have name recognition. I also found a newspaper article about her, which is now used as a source in the article as revised. --Metropolitan90 03:36, 9 November 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep The Speedy contesting was justified. Cast member of BH 90210 for eight years and numerous guest star credits on hit shows such as NYPD Blue. --Oakshade 22:17, 6 November 2006 (UTC)
  • Strong keep Five years in a co-starring role on an Aaron Spelling prime-time network series is enough to assert notability. Enough people would come here to find out "Who played the MILF on 90210?" to warrant its inclusion. Needs expansion, though. Caknuck 22:39, 6 November 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep — notability asserted.. looks notable enough for an article. MatthewFenton (talk · contribs · count · email) 09:23, 7 November 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep per previous arguments Optimale Gu 16:35, 8 November 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep since notability is asserted and meets our policies and guidelines. Yamaguchi先生 06:16, 9 November 2006
