WP:BLP of an actress, not properly sourced as passing WP:NACTOR. As always, actors are not automatically entitled to have articles just because the article lists acting roles, and have to be shown to pass WP:GNG on reliable source coverage about them and their performances -- but this is referenced entirely to primary source directory entries that aren't support for notability at all, with no evidence whatsoever shown of any GNG-building media coverage about her career, and even the roles themselves are virtually all supporting or bit parts rather than "major" roles.
Further, she's so poorly sourceable that the article has bounced all over the place over its three years of existence, as editors have repeatedly disputed whether she's American, Canadian or South African by nationality without ever showing a shred of sourcing for any of those claims — even her birthplace has been editwarred between Durban ZA and Sheridan WY without ever properly sourcing either of those things, and while the article has never claimed that she was born in Canada there's been an unverified assumption that she must be Canadian because her earliest listed film and television roles were all in Canadian productions that would be profoundly unlikely to take on the expense of importing a foreign actress just for a tiny bit part. (That can happen for a leading role, but not for one five-minute scene as a waitress.)
Nothing here is "inherently" notable enough to exempt her from having to get over GNG on her sourcing. Bearcat (talk) 16:47, 19 February 2024 (UTC)

- Delete: "Mashed potato lady" in a Muppets movie isn't quite what we're looking for here... I don't see any sources talking about her. Even the Littlest Hobo part was a bit part... Oaktree b (talk) 20:35, 19 February 2024 (UTC)
