Wow. This is arguably a WP:BLP violation, and it deals with a 12 year old. Wow. In any case, definitely not notable. Lacks non-trivial coverage from outside/third party publications. JBsupreme (talk) 19:05, 13 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Being on a game show doesn't make you a child actor, we don't have articles on every child who was on Kid Nation or Double Dare. None of the film credits are sourced (in fact the film titles themselves are redlinked) and there's no coverage in third party, non-trivial sources. - 2 ... says you, says me 19:24, 13 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Well, being a one-off contestant on a game show is different from being a panelist who appears across the whole of a season. 68.249.0.104 (talk) 20:29, 13 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Weak delete Actually, all the kids on that show are actors, and many have been in film and television before being chosen to be the "Fifth Graders". The films themselves can be sourced... so a "redlink" simply means that someone might decide to write an article... however, I have not found enough true coverage of her in reliable sources to indicate she might merit her own article... only a lot of WP:V that she is an actor. Does she have a cult following? Schmidt, ^{MICHAEL Q.} 20:41, 13 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. I know that this isn't actually written in policy, but I think that we should set a much higher notability bar for articles about children than for those about adults. The subject, as she grows up, may well decide that she would prefer not to be a public figure, and we should not prevent her from making that decision by maintaining this article. I would also suggest that this discussion be courtesy blanked on completion. Phil Bridger (talk) 16:25, 15 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Delete While I don't see anything that violates WP:BLP, this kid isn't notable per WP:N or WP:BIO. An appearance on a gameshow isn't grounds for notability in itself, yet if that appearance generates publicity, that could lead to notability. I haven't found the publicity and/or commentary on her necessary for inclusion. Them From Space 03:42, 16 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
