ProD was removed thus the next step => Another child actress failing our basic criteria for Notability, barely any real sources and the article looks like a resume as well, no awards nominations and is not really notable in any sense of the word..I get less than 700 hits on Google as well..

Delete: She has appeared on a few non-notable programs and has a column for "Notes" that is filled with non-notable information, like where she filmed and what the popularity in a certain country was, etc. DARTHBOTTO talkcont 11:55, 24 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep This page should NOT be deleted. It should be KEPT. Afton McKeith is a high profile teenage actor, singer and dancer. She is the daughter of a celebrity TV presenter and has also presented herself. She has appeared on multiple notable hit Television Shows, as well as theatre shows. She has worked in modelling for the likes of notable Getty. Afton has also been written about in multiple notable newspaper and magazine articles. She has also been photographed by paparazzi on countless occasions at high profile events such as movie premieres, as well as just as she was out and about at restaurants. Afton McKeith is on the list of the Top 10 Celebrity teenagers under 18 years of age on 'The Red Pages'/'Celebrity Intelligence' website; she was Number One in the under 18 celebrities for six months in a row. Afton McKeith is a well-known figure and should therefore not be removed from Wikipedia in any way. This is an objection to the proposed deletion of this article.

Being a daughter of a celeb does not make one notable, she has not appeared on any notable TV shows. There are basically no real source or news on her from any major or known media sources and also, creating another account to update her wikipedia page will not make her any more notable..The article looks more like a personal resume or an Autobiography than anything else--Stemoc 01:53, 25 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

*Keep I think this article should be kept. I have seen Afton McKeith in various Television programmes, which I know have broadcast worldwide. The notability of these shows are high, having been broadcast on networks like ITV and BBC AMERICA. Also, if you type her name on Google, there are a lot of newspaper articles from notable sources such as 'Daily Mail', 'Evening Standard', and 'TV3 Lithuania'. This article should definitely be kept.

  • Delete - the references say it all. A single word mention of a name in a Daily Mail piece and other similar claims to notability. No, this is not notability, this is vanity.  Velella  Velella Talk   08:54, 25 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

*Keep - The figure in the article is clearly involved in notable work and is written about in notable newspapers. I also know the TV programmes that the person has been in, and they are very notable shows. I have seen the person in the article in some very good roles, as well as pictured at high profile events.

  • Keep: Another example of an article that needs work (and proper inline citations) but given that she's worked not only in the UK but also Poland, Denmark and France, we have a pretty good set of credits for a teen actor here. Montanabw(talk) 06:40, 28 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

*Keep When you search 'Afton McKeith' on Google, there are a lot of results, thousands. The credits are international and highly notable. Even the referenced articles come from good sources, as well as from notable sources in different countries. Dontinoi talkcont 12:49, 29 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I struck out 3 votes from Sm2016 using sock accounts...--Stemoc 12:54, 29 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

*Keep This actress is on many notable television shows that are broadcast around the world. I live in the UK and definitely know who she is. I do not see why she should be deleted. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Londongirl100 (talkcontribs) 16:18, 31 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Where do they say this? 23:23, 5 June 2016 (UTC)
  • Delete and I likely would've explored deletion had I caught this for review (someone else clicked review in March), but my searches have found nothing better and this is not giving anything else better for actual independent notability for her own article at this time.

  • Keep as international credits, particularly leading theatre roles, foreign press coverage, passesWP:NACTOR Atlantic306 (talk) 18:58, 7 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep This actress has credits both in the UK and internationally. I even saw her on Polish television a few times. Her credits are notable and credible. As far as wikipedia standards are concerned, she fits the criteria and should be permitted to remain on wikipedia. 18:36, 9 June 2016 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2A02:C7D:51DA:4F00:4811:7CAA:8A3B:8697 (talk)

Delete. Half of her TV appearances look to be promotions for whatever she was doing at the time. The sources do not pass Wiki-standards. — Wyliepedia 18:49, 10 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
