Unsourced BLP, fails
WP:NACTOR. Green Cardamom(
tc) had nominated the page for A7, and I concurred and deleted the page, but the article creator contacted me to dispute my application of A7. I am bringing the issue here in lieu of sending it through DRV. —

Leaning delete. I agree that A7 speedy deletion wasn't the best choice here: recurring roles in two notable TV series are enough to assert "significance or importance", especially since her Nuzzle and Scratch role is apparently a starring one. However, I've so far found very little to meet the tougher notability standard that we're using here at AfD: best I can find are brief namechecks at
BleedingCool.com[1] and Digital Journal[2] mentioning her appearance on Doctor Who. That's not enough. Unless more turns up I'll have to !vote delete. --

Keep She did have a starring role in one significant TV series, and a significant role in a very well known series.

WP:NACTOR says "Has had significant roles in multiple notable .. television shows". Is 4 guest appearances on Dr. Who a "significant role"? There's a problem of lack of sourcing to pass
WP:GNG - we know she exists and was in two television shows. --

Delete I agree that this is a marginal case. But child actors fall into a special and difficult category because we do not know whether they will make a successful transition into adult roles even if they choose to try, and many do not. That is not to say that we should never have articles on the
Hayley Mills of this world but there is a consensus that having a BLP in Wikipedia is for most people a burden, and especially for minors and those who choose to have moved on to other things in life. If she carries on being successful in acting there is no prejudice against a new article, but at present there is insufficient to indicate that she will be remembered as an actress other than by friends and family. --

Delete TOO SOON. May be notable one day.

Delete per
WP:OUTCOMES. We usually have deleted
barely notable child actors, out of an abundance of caution. FWIW, she does not appear to be related to my godmother.
