Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Carrie Henn (actress)

The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was Redirect to Aliens_(film) I don't actually see a real consensus here. If anything, the arguments lean towards delete, but leaving the redirect behind seems harmless, especially considering Carrie Henn already redirects there. -- RoySmith (talk) 03:46, 1 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The page only contains one sentence and does not explain fully why the person is notable enough to have an article. Makro (talk) 15:23, 20 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Delete as per nom Fails WP:GNG.--Jeffrd10 (talk) 16:12, 20 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Delete fails WP:GNG and WP:NACTOR. Safiel (talk) 17:48, 20 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect. Her award-winning performance in Aliens was widely discussed. However, from all indications, she's not notable for anything else, and is now a low-profile person who gets coverage only in "where are they now" pieces. Accordingly, following WP:BLP1E, the best result should be to restore the previously-existing redirect, targeted to Aliens (film)#Cast. --Arxiloxos (talk) 20:31, 20 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Her career is essentially a single event, unfortunately. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 21:56, 20 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect ~~and Merge the single reference to her entry under Aliens (film)#Cast, which is significantly longer than this article but does not contain the reference.~~Vulcan's Forge (talk) 23:08, 20 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Since the reference has now apparently been added, I'm reducing my !vote to redirect per Arxiloxos above.Vulcan's Forge (talk) 23:11, 20 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Comment We already have a Carrie Henn article that redirects to Aliens (film), so is there really a need for two redirects referring to the same person that redirects to the same article, especially since there is little to no chance of Carrie Henn ever being restored to an article since she has no plans of doing any more acting and there is no one else with that name who is notable for an article at the moment? The article should just be completed deleted since it makes for a pointless search term anyway. 69.118.139.78 (talk) 00:48, 21 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. She may have only had one role, but that was an iconic role in an iconic film. -- Necrothesp (talk) 23:47, 22 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Keep ~~Comment~~She had a major role in a major film. The film itself won several major awards including two Academy Awards. Carrie Henn won the Saturn Award for best Performance by a Younger Actor.[1]. I think Henn has sufficient notability for an article based upon this performance alone. ~~However without trivia from her later life, this article will be limited to a couple of lines, and we should consider WP:BLP1E per Arxiloxos above.~~Martin451 08:16, 23 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Keep:. One iconic role in an iconic film is good enough. - Ret.Prof (talk) 11:07, 24 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Clearly fails both WP:NACTOR (she had only one acting role, did not contribute to the entertainment industry, and has no social media profiles showing any fan base) and WP:GNG (no substantial coverage in any major entertainment news sites, just brief mentioning in articles that focus mainly on Aliens (film) and "Where is she now?" listings that often talk about any former child actor from back then, regardless of notability). She also fails WP:NACADEMICS as a teacher since she is not a professor at a famous university who made a world changing discovery, just a typical schoolteacher and I highly doubt her students, family, friends, and superiors care that she was in Aliens (film) as a child. Expansion of this article is highly unlikely, so no point in having it, especially since we already have a Carrie Henn redirect to Aliens.
