While she does have coverage, she doesn't meet WP:NACTOR. She is known for one thing and one thing only, being the Wendy's commercial girl. Not notable. Not enough for her own article anyway. I suggest redirecting to Wendy's. LADY LOTUS • TALK 16:45, 17 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Keep NACTOR doesn't come into play if she passes GNG, which I think is the case with her coverage in the The Birmingham News. SNGs only exist to assume notability when there aren't sufficient sources for GNG. Regardless, some of her coverage is for her other acting, so WP:BLP1E doesn't count.

But the only coverage on her is for her commercials. It's not like it's delving into her career, it's just talking about who that girl is from the Wendy's commercial. Hardly notable coverage if it's only covering her on one subject. LADY LOTUS • TALK 19:05, 17 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Keep as crossing the verifiability and notability thresholds. It's not true that all of the coverage is on one subject as the first article cited is about her theatrical work, not her commercial acting. Also, there are many more sources available from earlier in her career to expand this article, which is more than sufficient for GNG. - Dravecky (talk) 20:26, 17 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Keep It does meet the verifiability and notability thresholds. There are also more sources available from earlier in her career to expand this article, which is more than sufficient for GNG. She could even be added to the Notable People from Alabama page. --Phillipc69 (talk) 12:40, 18 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Not only does meet the verifiability threshold, but it meets the notability threshold for having a large fan base or cult following. She's appeared in more than 40 Wendy's commercials that have been aired over 120,000 times; there are numerous fan sites, fan club sites, and downright creepy stalker-ish sites. There are even I hate the Wendy's Girl pages. There are more articles written in the past week that could be used as references in the article as well. I think it would be a mistake to keep this as an AfD. Hairband304 ([[User talk:|talk]]) 07:44, 20 July 2014 (UTC)— Hairband304 (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.

Keep per above comments, especially that she's become a pubic figure. I'd be willing to delete a BLP of a child actor, if the subject or her agent directly contacted us, with the wish that the article be deleted, to protect her. However, she's now 28 years old, and has a family. Bearian (talk) 15:23, 21 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Per comments above. She IS notable IMO. Regards, Aloha27 (talk) 12:45, 22 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Keep: Holy Clara Peller, she meets GNG.--Milowent • ^hasspoken 16:25, 22 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
