Nikki Blonsky doesn't deserve her own article. Try including some info about her in the Hairspray page. Malan89 22:28, 15 June 2007 (UTC)

• Delete for unencyclopedic content. Reads like a fluff human interest piece. Maybe self-aggrandizing. --Nonstopdrivel 00:14, 16 June 2007 (UTC)
• Speedy Keep An article with ample demonstration of notability! An unknown plucked from obscurity to play a starring role in a major motion picture! Three dozen articles at Google News and over 80 more at Google News Archive! A nomination that doesn't even bother to mention Wikipedia policy once! All that and the claim that someone's personal pet peeve she "doesn't deserve her own article" is supposed to convince us to delete the article in defiance of Wikipedia policy! That and some of the best arguments for why there need to be far stricter limitations on the ability to create AfDs! Alansohn 03:06, 17 June 2007 (UTC)
• Speedy Keep - definitaly notable. Why not get rid of every actors page and include them in the article on the movie they were in? -- Chrislk02 (Chris Kreider) 14:25, 18 June 2007 (UTC)
• Keep - agree with the two keep reasons above --Mikecraig 03:15, 19 June 2007 (UTC)
• Weak keep. Although the individual is set to star in her first role, I agree that there is potential for more references and definitely a fair amount of publicity. Although I can understand the lack of notability on the individual, and WP:CRYSTAL is in play, she will satisfy most of the criteria at WP:BIO for entertainers, including having "significant roles in notable films, television, stage performances, and other productions." Many first time actors have had articles made; just look at how Jennifer Hudson turned out. ;) On a side note, I've edited the article somewhat to better wikify it, and have integrated the trivia.

• Keep - satisfies WP:RS, and being cast in the lead for the Hairspray remake is notable despite the lack of any previous significant roles. -- Whpq 17:10, 19 June 2007 (UTC)
