The result was speedy keep. Don't usually close my own AFDs however Oakshade has proved she is notable therefore making the delete !vote moot, Kinda pointless letting this continue so am closing as keep (non-admin closure) –Davey2010^Talk 19:56, 30 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Non notable actress, I originally tagged it under G4 however an editor declined it stating new info had been added .... anyway the sources in the article are extremely poor and I can't find anything substantial on Google, Ofcourse if anyone can find anything I'd be more than happy to withdraw, Thanks, –Davey2010^Talk 19:06, 16 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

• Did I notify anyone outside of this discussion ?, No, Were ST & RMS the only !voters in the last AFD ? Yes, So no this wasn't canvassing - They could've !voted keep all for I cared. –Davey2010^Talk 15:19, 30 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Comment I see nothing really notable on Google either, but she does have a few internal links, and does have a role on Minsan Lang Kita Iibigin, a popular Filipino TV show -- she in fact appears on the main page for it ("Special participation", but still). Not sure if this is enough to merit a keep, but it is worth considering. --FuzzyGopher (talk) 19:12, 16 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep - She does appear to pass WP:ACTOR. Had a multi-episode co-starring role in Luv U and Maalaala Mo Kaya. A Star Awards winner for her starring role in T2 (2009 film). Is getting a lot of press-coverage too demonstrating passing WP:GNG. [1][2][3][4] Might this be a case of systemic bias? --Oakshade (talk) 05:13, 30 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

• (Redacted) Anyway that aside those sources look okay (Source coverage is much different to the UK/USA) so yeah look fine, Unfortunately I can't withdraw as there's a delete !vote present. –Davey2010^Talk 15:19, 30 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

WP:BIAS isn't about the intentional discrimination against non-British topics, but more about those in developed English-speaking regions and specifically English Wikipeida editors not being exposed to topics in other languages and in non-English speaking countries that are prevalent and well-known in those places and might not appreciate the significance of those topics. --Oakshade (talk) 16:07, 30 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Oakshade Ah damn I'm so sorry I thought Systemic bias meant something else entirely, I mean it's a hard one but I probably would say there was a Systemic bias here, I mean if an actress has a name in a different language then I would obviously search for that too - I wouldn't just search for English and assume "everything is in English" because it isn't - Like with this BLP if she had a different-language name then I would've searched for that, As a side note I can't recall the exact words but I've had more than one person accuse me of trying to get rid of articles purely on the basis of "they're not an English BLP" so hence why I get extremely defensive over it but anyway I apologise for the above reply which I've removed, Thanks, –Davey2010^Talk 16:38, 30 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep per Oakshade. A long list of roles on national (and notable) TV and film, and several awards won satisfies WP:NACTOR.-- OBSIDIAN†SOUL 19:13, 30 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
