And we're back. Nothing has changed with this actress since the last AfD. A lot of trivial sources have been added to the article, but nothing of substance. Fails WP:GNG, WP:SIGCOV, and WP:NACTOR. Ref #1 is a promo. Ref #2, is not an independent source. Ref #3 is a listing, which shows she had minor roles on various tv series. Ref #4 is a simple listing which doesn't even mention the actress. Ref #5, shows that she had a significant role in a one-off tv production, which is like having a featured role on a single episode of episodic television, which never counts as per WP:NACTOR. #6 is a very brief mention, literally, she is simply listed. #7 is a character bio on a non-independent source. #8 is probably the briefest of mentions, simply mentioning her first name. #9 is a promo for the DVD of a show. #10 and #11 mention her as well, but the article claims this is a "lead role", however the imdb.com page doesn't even list her as a cast member; in addition, the similarity between these two refs would appear to indicate that they are based off a press release. And finally ref #12 is an ad for the blu-ray. All of these sources were available prior to the AfD. None indicate she has the prerequisite of more than one major role to pass WP:NACTOR, and the totality of the current sourcing doesn't come close to passing WP:GNG.

Keep: Sources #9 and #12 are not "advertisements" as much as they are news articles discussing the release of films and series. She had a leading role in Karas and has also appeared in multiple recurring roles such as Bakuryuu Sentai Abaranger and Threads of Destiny. And just because she was cast as a lead role in an episodic television series, that's still a lead role. She passes WP:NACTOR because she was cast in a lead role at least once. lullabying (talk) 16:44, 25 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per Lullabying. The statement that "Nothing has changed with this actress since the last AfD" is correct only with respect to her career, but some new info has surfaced to show she had more major roles long before that AFD. They were not brought up in the 2016 AFD so they were not discounted either. Oh, and @Lullabying:, you should remember to bullet your AFD votes. ミラ P 17:07, 25 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Agreed with the framing of the comments above regarding passing the actor-specific guidelines, but let me add I feel GNG is met here too. #10 and #11 conflicting with IMDB isn't a strong argument when we have independent sources indicating the article's subject appeared in major roles. That's significant coverage in a non-trivial manner. Lord Roem ~ (talk) 06:57, 26 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Inclined to Keep, especially if the alternative is a redirect to Ojamajo Doremi, which is a terrible idea and the previous AfD should never have been closed that way. —Xezbeth (talk) 07:42, 26 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
