The actress Natalija Nogulich is credited as a guest star in the episode, but as far as I can determine, she does not actually appear in the episode as broadcast. Nogulich's website's news page says that she plays "Madame Helen" in the episode, along with a picture of her presumably in that role, but I haven't seen her.
If she doesn't actually appear, is it appropriate for us to say she's "Natalija Nogulich as Madame Helen" if there is no Madame Helen? I believe it's appropriate to list her as a guest star, since the episode does, but I can't see naming a non-existent character. Thoughts? If no one objects, I plan to remove the character name.

The consensus is that the usage of the hatnote is not justified in this article.
Is the usage of the hatnote "For the calendar year, see 2009" justified in an article that is already disambiguated? © Tbhotch ™ ( en-2.5). 23:13, 9 January 2018 (UTC)
The article, which has the disambiguation term "(Glee)", currently includes a hatnote indicating that the term "2009 (Glee)" (somehow) can create confusion with people looking for the year 2009, which is not ambiguous. @ SanAnMan: insists to keep it. [1].
Wikipedia:Hatnote, specifically WP:NAMB, recommends to exclude hatnotes in terms that a) are not ambiguous (like "2009 (Glee)") and b) keep them if, and only if, there are reasons that can lead to confusion ( Hurricane redirecting to Tropical cyclone; Tree (set theory) vs tree (descriptive set theory); or like any Treaty of Paris (because years are not necessarily known and readers might confuse the 1810, 1812, 1814, or 1815 treaties easily, for example).
Also, WP:OVERLINK and WP:YEARLINK ask to not "[link] the names of subjects with which most readers will be at least somewhat familiar – unless there is a contextually important reason to link" and "year articles should not be linked unless the linked [...] year has a significant connection to the subject of the linking article, beyond that of the date itself, so that the linking enhances the reader's understanding of the subject." In other words, if the episode discussed the year itself it would have significant connection and would be linked in-text (not in a hatnote), but the episode isn't as it is not about the year 2009, but Glee's 2009 episode Pilot (Glee).
So, to reiterate, is the usage of the hatnote justified in this article?
I'm pretty sure Quinn and Santana only appeared in the archival footage of Don't Stop Believin'; why aren't Dianna and Naya listed as archival like Cory? Did they appear in non-reused footage in this episode but I just missed it?
