Was recently undeleted after a PROD, but I see no coverage anywhere in RS's. Based on my read of her IMDB page, I'm not sure the "significant roles" of WP:NACTOR is met. Alyo (chat·edits) 23:51, 23 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. I did go over her IMDb credits. She is a veteran British actress with leading roles in numerous TV series, which the article in its present state only mentions one. The problem of finding references in 2022 is that most of her roles happened pre-Internet and so there may be many newspaper, magazine, and TV interviews from back then that have not made it online. You would have to delete the Wiki bios of many otherwise famous character actors of old Hollywood for the same reason of limited references. Her article needs a table list of her credits, which could help and inspire researchers in the UK to find references. 5Q5|^✉ 10:39, 24 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Seems to have had some significant roles, eg in Coronation Street; replaced Julie Walters in the title role of Education Rita on stage. Some more details at the British Film Institute, Theatricalia and Who's who on television Piecesofuk (talk) 15:32, 24 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Article has been updated considerably to show many TV roles, notable ones being in soap operas and sitcoms. Newspaper references have been added regarding theatre work (Educating Rita, replacing Julie Walters). Better than what it was before.Silurian25 (talk) 07:36, 3 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Delete I did an in depth search of newspapers.com and found no significant coverage in reliable sources. Coverage was limited to tabloids and one line mentions even for British print media of the 1980s and 1990s. W 42 21:31, 4 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Keep: The newspapers.com hits would seem to indicate there was significant coverage of the subject in the 1980s and '90s—more than merely listing her name in credits. For the reasons above, I believe this article should remain. Dflaw4 (talk) 17:29, 8 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
