[edit] Kimberly Lynn Cole
Doesn't seem to be a notable actor; only source is IMDb. Only roles are cameo appearances and/or red linked films. Ten Pound Hammer and his otters • (Broken clamshells•Otter chirps) 18:59, 7 May 2008 (UTC)

- Well I trust IMDB's accuraccy, and according to that she's played leading roles in several movies (albeit lesser-known movies). IMO that's makes her notable enough for inclusion. -Cheese Sandwich (talk) 00:40, 8 May 2008 (UTC)

- Has had significant roles or been featured multiple times 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
- The above points were taken directly from WP:ENTERTAINER which is a threshold for inclusion of actors. Which one of those points would you say the subject of this article satifies? SWik78 (talk • contribs) 13:49, 8 May 2008 (UTC)
- I'd say the first and second. As to the first, she's starred in several movies cataloged in IMDB = notable IMO. Also, a google search shows many articles about her. She stars in a DVD being sold on Amazon (here). Look, I understand you guys are determined to delete this article, but it won't be because she isn't notable enough for a wikipedia article (unlike wikipedia articles about these notable topics: Horcrux, Misty_(Pokémon), or Adam_Hart). —Preceding unsigned comment added by Cheese Sandwich (talk • contribs) 14:08, 8 May 2008 (UTC)
- I really don't mean to argue with you and I apologize if it seems as though that's what I'm doing but I just want to make sure you actually understand what notability means in Wikipedia terms. If you want to claim that the subject of this article meets the first of my above listed points of claimed notability, then the films catalogued on IMDB would also have to meet Wikipedia:Notability (films) since she's required to have had roles in notable films, not just films, and I can't find a single one of her films in which she has had a major role that can quialify under Wikipedia:Notability (films). Again, sorry if I'm coming across as overly polemic but IMDB ≠ Notability. SWik78 (talk • contribs) 14:19, 8 May 2008 (UTC)
- Duly noted, I'm just an inclusionist when it come to wikipedia, so my standards of notability are looser that others'. In my opinion (though not necessarily according to wikipedia official guidelines at the moment), published films sold to mass audiences = notable. Anyways, I've stated my reasoning behind my "keep" vote, and if I'm outvoted, then that's the way it goes. :) --Cheese Sandwich (talk) 14:38, 8 May 2008 (UTC)

- Weak delete. Only mentions in Google News archive is a couple of tangential mentions in UPI stories so she doesn't seem to be quite notable enough. [1]. Capitalistroadster (talk) 21:17, 7 May 2008 (UTC)
- Delete per Capitalistroadster, as I was about to say basically the same thing. Jakew (talk) 21:27, 7 May 2008 (UTC)
