MusicMaker5376 has suggested that this article fails to meet the notability standards for Entertainers. I was unsure this was true and declined to speedy delete. Rmhermen (talk) 20:37, 26 May 2008 (UTC)

  • Don't Delete: I have seen this girl she was a Guest Star, top of show on Drew Carey, Also she was a lead in Chicken Soup for the Soul in an episode entitled "Carries Gift" in which she played Carrie. These are more than "walk-on" roles. Spring Awakening is NOT her first "featured" (btw it would correctly be called Lead) role. In theatre you are a Lead, a Swing or an Ensemble. Les Miserables was a LEAD. She was a co-star in Angel, and Judging Amy, she was a supporting in Happy Endings and a Lead in Distracted. Additionally, This girl has three songs on a CD (when she was 12!) All this by the age of 16 seems pretty significant to me. Oh did I mention that she is a Lead in the Disney Animated film Tinkerbell? Disney...small potatoes? Do your research. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Balconygurl (talk • contribs) 23:35, 27 May 2008 (UTC)
  • Weak Delete: She has a modest resume, but only a modest one ... a few minor walk-on one shot roles in a few TV shows. She's autolisted in a lot of the "celebrity" databases that list anyone who's ever appeared in anything, but without anything in the way of genuine biographical information. When it comes down to it, what part of WP:BIO does she meet?  RGTraynor  20:53, 26 May 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete The Spring Awakening role is her first "featured" or "signfigant" role. In order to satisfy WP:ENTERTAINER, the subject needs to have "had significant roles or been featured multiple times in notable films, television, stage performances, and other productions." At this time, she does not satisfy those qualifications. —  MusicMaker5376 20:55, 26 May 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete, see also Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Matt Doyle (note creators were different, though Doyle's was an WP:SPA). Neither actor originated their role. I'm going to go look and see whether any of the actors have articles now. --Dhartung | Talk 21:20, 26 May 2008 (UTC)
  • Weak delete Its a 3 day old article on a fairly bona fide actress. She may be notable in future but not presently. Wikipedia is not a WP:CRYSTAL. Perhaps she will be notable in the future but not at present. Artene50 (talk) 05:20, 27 May 2008 (UTC)

  • Keep She has appeared in multiple stage performances as shown in these sources, Spring Awakening [1] and Les Miz [2], Distracted [3]. The article does need work but as it states in WP:DEL "If the page can be improved, this should be solved through regular editing, rather than deletion."--Captain-tucker (talk) 11:12, 30 May 2008 (UTC)
  • Update: I added the above references to the article. --Captain-tucker (talk) 11:22, 30 May 2008 (UTC)
  • "Regular editing" won't make her notable. — MusicMaker5376 13:09, 30 May 2008 (UTC)
  • Comment - My point was that WP:ENTERTAINER states "been featured multiple times in notable films, television, stage performances, and other productions", so if she has been in three (i.e. multiple) stage performances (all referenced by reliable sources) does she not meet that criteria? It does not state that they must be all on Broadway or that the actor must be the 'originating' actor in that role.--Captain-tucker (talk) 13:31, 30 May 2008 (UTC)
  • While I'm certainly not the arbiter of WP:ENTERTAINER, I don't think three is "multiple". Three is "a few"; three is "several". "Multiple" I would take to mean in the double-digits. — MusicMaker5376 14:28, 30 May 2008 (UTC)
