• Delete per nom and at least to me just a minor person no major roles found for this personOo7565 19:06, 20 April 2007 (UTC)
• Very Strong Keep Jaye Griffiths is one of the most high-profile black TV actresses in the UK. What's with the "no major roles found for this person"? Did you even look? The IMDb link in the article lists her many major roles. She has starred in the big-budget TV series Bugs for a start. This nominator has also prodded the clearly notable Joe Turkel - something is not right here. Masaruemoto 20:00, 20 April 2007 (UTC)

comment yes i did check the imdb just list roles not how big they are okOo7565 21:06, 20 April 2007 (UTC)

• Comment; No need to even check IMDb, you could have just looked at the article for Bugs, a Saturday evening drama series that ran for 4 years on BBC One, and Jaye Griffiths is listed at the top of the cast list. That's very obviously a major role, and you could have checked that article in less time than it took to set up this AFD. Masaruemoto 00:08, 21 April 2007 (UTC)

comment look i have never head of her i am not from the uk so i have no idel who she was the article was poorly writen in my openionOo7565 05:00, 21 April 2007 (UTC)

• Comment Notability has nothing to do with whether you've heard of a person or not. As other editors have noted here and on your talk page, you seem to be recklessly prodding and nominating articles based on a whim. I suggest you take a break from trying to delete articles until you understand what notability actually means. Masaruemoto 20:20, 25 April 2007 (UTC)

• Keep. I added some references. --Eastmain 20:01, 20 April 2007 (UTC)
• Keep Famous and notable in the UK. Jmlk17 21:04, 20 April 2007 (UTC)
• Ultra strong keep - she was a major or lead character in at least half a dozen major series, including the DI in The Bill, the MP in The Deputy and the lead character in Bugs, and was also the first black British actress to play leading characters in mainstream drama outside of the "minority programming" UK TV ghetto. I can understand why this was nominated as the article doesn't make that clear - from the tone, she comes across as a bit-part character actress - but there are no possible grounds for deleting this - iridescenti (talk to me!) 21:20, 20 April 2007 (UTC)
• Speedy keep -- notable British actress, particularly for her TV roles. -- The Anome 21:36, 20 April 2007 (UTC)
• comment i have a question someone added this to the article She is a member the world renowned theatre company - Cheek By Jowl. i check the check by jowl website but could not find her is she a part of that thanksOo7565 22:45, 20 April 2007 (UTC)

She was certainly Emilia in their 2004 Othello but I can't find anything to say whether she is (or isn't) still a member - iridescenti (talk to me!) 00:56, 21 April 2007 (UTC)

• Keep This is a ridiculous non notability. Lead roles in Bugs, The Bill and Doctors would seem to suggest she is well known even for somebody not from the UK. (Quentin X 19:17, 21 April 2007 (UTC))
  • Comment the nominator's edit history appears to consist of nothing but prods & XfDs, apparently chosen at random and all with the tagline "No assertion of notability" even when this clearly doesn't apply (eg [1], [2], [3] and most ludicrously [4] on the 2001 winner of the Booker Prize). Can I strongly suggest that the closing admin take an extremely close look at this user? - iridescenti (talk to me!) 19:34, 21 April 2007 (UTC)
    • Comment Good point, I can't work out any rationale for this user's nominations. Comments on his talk page from other editors confirm that this user is reckless in prodding articles. Masaruemoto 20:20, 25 April 2007 (UTC)
