Doesnt seem to be notable by herself but more because she’s James Spaders girlfriend. She’s an extra at best, doesnt need her own page LADY LOTUS • TALK 01:35, 29 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

• Weak keep Borderline pass of WP:NACTOR for the title role of The General's Daughter (1999) and plot-significant roles in Beautiful (2000), The Stickup (2002) and Desert Saints (2002). Definitely not just an extra. XOR'easter (talk) 19:31, 29 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep There is sufficient coverage I think over a large number of years to establish notability per WP:NACTOR. scope_creep^Talk 22:37, 31 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • She doesn’t meet wp:BASIC, I’ve genuinely looked for significant coverage and could not find any. The articles from reliable sources that mention her are about her being James Spader’s girlfriend. LADY LOTUS • TALK 02:06, 1 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep Passes WP:NACTOR for the title role of The General's Daughter (1999) and significant role in Beautiful (2000) and others. Actresses are known for their work and this one passes #1 Has had significant roles in multiple notable films, television shows, stage performances, or other productions.

• Keep She has had significant roles in multiple notable productions, with The General's Daughter, Beautiful, Jackie, Ethel, Joan: The Women of Camelot, and others. I have added some sources, including one profile from 2001. I need to look for and add more for her other films, but I would just note that so far, I have seen no coverage of her as "James Spader's girlfriend". The coverage, whether a profile of her or description of her acting in a movie, is about her as an actor. RebeccaGreen (talk) 12:17, 7 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • It’s hard to verify the sources since they are subscription only but you dont need 4 different sources just to verify she played a role in a film. And in regards to you not seeing anything on her being James Spaders girlfriend, all I ask is how? Google her name and the first article after her IMBd and wikipedia page is from Country Living titled “All About James Spader's Divorce, Kids, and Relationship with Leslie Stefanson”. Lol so I ask again, how? LADY LOTUS • TALK 03:35, 8 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I have clipped some of the sources, so they should be visible. I did say "so far" I have not seen coverage of her as someone's boyfriend, meaning that the coverage I have found "so far" is about her work, before she even met him. And how do I see that and not coverage of her lovelife? Because I search on terms like "Leslie Stefanson" + review, or "Leslie Stefanson" + "film title". Quite easy. As for four sources - they are reviews, and they each say something about her performance, they don't just verify that she was in a film. RebeccaGreen (talk) 07:49, 8 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep per above. She had a supporting role in a true bomb, Beautiful, which I would argue adds to her notability as an actress. Bearian (talk) 14:39, 8 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep per Lightburst. Cambial Yellowing❧ 21:58, 10 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
