The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's
talk page or in a
deletion review). No further edits should be made to this page.
The result was delete. The amount of sourcing in existence that mentions the subject's name in relation to their part in a show is irrelevant, the requirement (as noted at
WP:GNG) is whether or not those sources cover the subject "directly and in detail". As no sign of this being the case has been presented by the editor requesting the article's retention, it is found that this article's subject lacks the requisite notability for inclusion in this encyclopedia. —

Non notable actress, Found a few mentions about her role in Corrie but can't find anything substantial, As she played
Sarah-Louise Platt for the past 12 years it should probably be redirected to there however I'll let the community decide, Fails NACTOR & GNG, –

"There is a lot of where-are-they-now coverage on her" - I wouldn't call
one result from The Irish Mirror alot, Having looked through the searches again only result is actually about Lynsay with
the rest of the sources being about Tina O Brien so she fails GNG (I forgot to add above but there may well be sources offline however that's a wild guess but If I were to put money on it I would say there wasn't anything much better offline either)
NACTOR states the following: Has had significant roles in multiple notable films, television shows, stage performances, or other productions.
Has a large fan base or a significant "cult" following.
Has made unique, prolific or innovative contributions to a field of entertainment.
Well A) She's not been in multiple programmes (She's been in various Corrie spinoffs but you may aswell say that's all one programme), B) She doesn't have a fan base, and C) Not entirely sure how you'd prove C ... So she actually fails NACTOR & GNG
Ofcourse If you or anyone can find anything I'd be more than happy to withdraw but as it stands now she unfortunately fails both NACTOR and GNG. –

WP:GNG dos't make the requirement that a single source have extremely in-depth coverage, just that there is enough in-depth coverage available even if it's from a combination of multiple sources. That's why this topic passes GNG. Sometimes a person can just be notable for playing just one part, especially if the rold is very significant and spanning over a decade like in this case. Hanging on the one word "multiple" of a sub-guidline and sub-clause like WP:NACTOR is just a classic case of
WP:GAMETYPE. --

But that's the point there is no in-depth coverage .... they're all just trivial mentions (One source in the article is great however the article cannot solely rely on one source), I'm not trying to
Game the system here I'm simply going by what NACTOR explicitly says, Various actresses have been deleted due to the lack of coverage and the one role and being quite honest I'm not seeing anything different here, Ofcourse I have no objections to this being redirected but as it stands they're not notable (and it's highly unlikely they ever will be). –

The combination of the multitude of sources makes it in-depth. And sorry, but going by what NACTOR explicitly says is just ignoring
common sense and sticking to the letter of a cherry-picked buried sub-clause whilst ignoring the principle of the guidelines as a whole which is the definition of
WP:GAMETYPE.--

Except there isn't a multitude of sources ... there's barely sod all, Nope I'm going by a notability guideline which is followed by everyone on every single BLP AFD, She fails NACTOR as well as GNG. –

here you can use them with caution however I've been told more than once that that shouldn't be used full stop (I believe I asked at the help desk however that could've been this year, last year) , I personally still believe she does fail NACTOR & GNG but we obviously disagree so perhaps it's best we just move on otherwise we're going to be here forever debating this :), BTW I apologise for hatting this it's just usually long dicussions do get hatted, Anyway thanks, –

Delete - Fails
WP:NACTOR. Has played one character on television. Searches for "fans" turns up nothing to indicate a fan base. All searches for "Lynsay King" reference that she played the one character or "where is she now" type of articles mostly in tabloids. A search of the character she played "Sarah-Louise Platt " actually mentions another actor, Tina O'Brien, more frequently than the subject. Also appears to fail
WP:GNG as well. Limited coverage from reliable sources, none of which address the subject in much detail.

Delete. The main role she played was a newborn, and her main qualification for that role was that she had a twin sister, so they could alternate playing the role. But, more to the point viz-a-viz
WP:N, the sources just aren't there. --
