[edit] Elle Travis

Elle Travis (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

Non-notability per WP:BIO. Minor director and actor. She directed two non-notable films and has had a number of small roles on television shows. Of the films she has appeared in, only the unreleased Dead Air has a Wikipedia article. The film’s website does not list her in the credits of the film, and IMDB list her as playing Screaming Hottie.

  • Delete without prejudice (for recreation or undeletion). I don't see anything here that asserts notability except "award winning" - but there is no such award. Sources are quite sketchy - even the reliable ones don't establish much notability. In fact, I'll just run through them one-by-one:
  1. Unspecified NPR source, substantiating a minor quotation
  2. The daily program of the Cannes festival - not a publication with real editorial review, and it's only substantiating a meaningless nickname
  3. Her résumé. Yeah right.
  4. LA Times review of a theatre show she was "credited" on. Speaks little to her notability.
  5. listal.com - not a reliable source, I'd say
  6. The listing of a DVD at a foreign-language DVD directory/store (I can't figure it out)
  7. An obituary of a friend of hers
  8. This isn't a source, actually, it's just the date of one of her television appearances.
Based on all of this, I'm going to say that there is no real assertion of notability, and that she isn't notable. IMDB confirms this - she has no really important looking roles. If some third party source is published or found to establish notability, the article should be recreated - otherwise though. --Cheeser1 (talk) 05:07, 10 January 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete According to Wikipedia:Generally notable people we would expect to see, for Entertainers: actors, comedians, opinion makers, models, and television personalities:
  • With significant roles in notable films, television, stage performances, and other productions.
  • Has a large fan base or a significant "cult" following.
  • Has made unique, prolific or innovative contributions to a field of entertainment.
I couldn't find evidence that she had a significant role in even a single notable film. Since her credits as listed in the article include so many minor items it is hard to filter out what might be important. Her lack of mention in the web-findable credit list for Dead Air makes it difficult to consider that one seriously. EdJohnston (talk) 05:23, 10 January 2008 (UTC)
