Per WP:NOTNEWS and WP:BLP1E. Actress does not meet WP:GNG, WP:NBIO or WP:NACTRESS. Was in a handful of episodes of a daily TV soap, and had almost zero coverage in independent sources prior to her involvement in a tragic accident. The sudden spike in notability is unlikely to be WP:SUSTAINED. Kb.au (talk) 15:14, 11 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete. I had initially tagged her article for notability, as it was mostly about, and created after, the accident. Then, I expanded it, hoping to find some degree of notability before the accident news spread. I found a few minor film roles and the future upcoming main one. I expect the latter to garner her some notice, as some post-death film releases do, but, until then, she's deletable. Plus, I've currently grown tired of the "is she dead or isn't she?" revisions. — Wyliepedia 15:41, 11 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Elaborate on why ?--BabbaQ (talk) 12:10, 17 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete, at this point. The circumstances surrounding the death of her family are quite horrible, but her career isn't of sufficient note to warrant a page - 16 episodes of a soap, and a role as title character in a yet-to-be-released film. If the film turns out to be successful, a page can always be created for her then. Chris Keating (talk) 00:50, 12 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Reluctant delete I was going to argue "keep", but the sad truth is that she would not have been notable except for this awful incident. I live in Sydney and Jessica is a friend of a friend. However I can name six personal friends with longer acting resumes, none of whom would pass the notability test either. Manning (talk) 01:40, 12 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • BabbaQ, Manning isn't arguing that it shouldn't exist because articles on the others don't exist. They're highlighting the fact the subject has a very limited acting resume and that those with greater acting notability would not pass the notability bar either. Kb.au (talk) 12:38, 17 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • I can't see why it would, for the same reasons I nominated this for deletion. It's a just an horrific event that received a blast of news coverage because of the nature of it, but has no lasting notability in itself. Kb.au (talk) 06:30, 12 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
She wasn't notable before the accident, so... Also, has there been a rash of WP-bashing articles lately, and why should that matter? TDT are the ones that pronounced her dead after life-support was ended. — Wyliepedia 02:21, 13 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Thanks Abductive, my view of the subject in relation to WP:BLP1E is that she was only covered in reliable sources in the context of the crash (per condition 1: "If reliable sources cover the person only in the context of a single event"). There seems to be no coverage of her in independent, reliable sources prior to the crash; the only result I could find in the news media was an incidental mention of her in a Daily Mail gossip article about Pia Miller from May 2016. I'm unsure how my understanding of WP:NOTNEWS is incorrect. If the individual is not notable and the event has no lasting notability, the article is essentially just a breaking news story. Kb.au (talk) 12:46, 12 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
As stated above, her article was created after the accident, so, for now, it's sadly her only notability. "Inappropriate" would be in the case of a suicide. Her article is stable to be a BLP, but not notable enough to exist...yet. — Wyliepedia 11:17, 14 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
I don't really understand your comment but maybe you didn't understand mine. I think the nomination was not appropriate because it was likely to give rise to insensitive comments such as "until then, she's deletable". I had been reminded of a similar situation ten years ago where the AFD discussion was eventually blanked because of dreadfully crass comments (through thoughtlessness rather than malice). That article still exists and seems to be causing no difficulty. I won't link to it. Thincat (talk) 11:57, 17 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Out of my vote, "she's deletable" is what you get twisted about? Perhaps you should check her page history (circa 12/29) and see who fluffed her article to give some semblance of notability, outside of the events of the past three weeks. — Wyliepedia 16:31, 17 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep Trust I've seen short and one source articles worth deleting. This one is fine to keep as it is sourced effectively and does tell much about her. --TDKR Chicago 101 (talk) 17:54, 13 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete has only appeared in one notable production, and not even clear if that was a significant role, so falls short of the notability guidelines for actresses.John Pack Lambert (talk) 04:45, 15 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Inclined to Keep High profile soap in Australia and Ireland (and others) XyzSpaniel Talk Page 13:53, 16 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. There is enough verifiable material to justify retention of the article. Capitalistroadster (talk) 01:02, 17 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
    • Comment Feel free to add material showing she has "had significant roles in multiple notable films, television shows, stage performances, or other productions". DigitalPanda (talk) 01:07, 17 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
    • She has been the subject of considerable interest in the Australian media. I have received two breaking news alerts about her death and the BBC has covered her death. There is more than sufficient material to indicate this article is worth keeping. Capitalistroadster (talk) 05:05, 17 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep People keep saying her acting career was short (it was and she would not be notable on that alone), but combine the acting career with the crash and that's two events. She clearly passes GNG and has some pretty major sources covering her death, just think in 500 years if historians were to build a biographical dictionary using major newspapers obits, Jessica would clearly get into it based on the level of coverage. GuzzyG (talk) 01:06, 17 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep Could be improved a great deal with time and this person has made headlines. Cexycy (talk) 02:47, 17 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete Not a significant role so fails WP:NACTOR. The crash she was involved in, terrible as it is, isn't particularily notable either -- Whats new?(talk) 03:00, 17 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. The soap opera role was substantial, and 16 episodes, while not huge, is not brief either. She also has a major role in a yet to be released film. While normally we'd wait till that film is released, her accident and death have caused an unusual amount of advance mention of it in reliable sources, so it makes sense to keep this rather than to have to recreate it after that second important role is publicly viewable. Yngvadottir (talk) 04:12, 17 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. Significant role in Australia's longest running soap. Has a part in an upcoming film that is going ahead despite her death. The fact the the article was not created prior to her accident does not have any bearing on notability.--Dmol (talk) 05:15, 17 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
    • Comment - WP:NACTOR requires "significant roles in multiple notable films, television shows, stage performances, or other productions". One role, even significant, does not establish notability and 16 episodes of a soap is not significant. DigitalPanda (talk) 09:22, 17 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. No mention of her in the media before the crash. Even if the crash was tragic it goes under NotNews.DrKilleMoff (talk) 05:28, 17 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. Doesn't meet the Wikipedia criteria for notability as one TV series and movie role doesn't qualify as "multiple" in my opinion. Unfortunately sixteen episodes in a very long running series is not quite enough to strengthen the case for Falkholt's notability. The circumstances of her death are tragic which is why I would wait a little while before deleting the article. smrgeog (talk) 05:33, 17 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Except for the upcoming movie and TV show, which are attested by secondary sources. This entire nomination is pointless, because her article will be reinstated in short order. No scalp for the nominator. Abductive (reasoning) 05:39, 17 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment looking at it coldly even the upcoming film won't be enough to meet the notability criteria unless she wins a major acting award and/or the film is a major success. If that happens, I would support the idea of keeping the article. smrgeog (talk) 05:54, 17 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Agreed, a few weeks in a soap opera, a film which isn't notable and a minor role in an upcoming TV show doesn't establish notability -- Whats new?(talk) 05:57, 17 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
A foolish consistency is the hobgoblin of little minds. Abductive (reasoning) 07:43, 17 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep - Role in significant and leading Soap opera in her country. That her article was created after her death is irrelevant to notability. WP:GNG is met so the nominator is mistaking. The cheer number of input in this AfD alone is quite telling.BabbaQ (talk) 08:36, 17 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep - Famous in Australia. (Gabinho>:) 09:28, 17 January 2018 (UTC))[reply]
  • Keep - Information is information, history and time fervently just sporadically topples on over itself, very much like the cars did each other in this incident, a combined three scenario's, opiate epidemic, fame, and coincidence, along with a history lesson, just keep it organized, but she was famous, and there is a lesson in that poor girls whole family receiving death for Christmas.... -§Ferventtboundz

  • Soft Keep - just about passes notability in my view, but there has not been sufficient arguments made for deletion beyond the fact that her work was predominantly confined to one series. Stormy clouds (talk) 22:20, 17 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep - I think keep is the best solution here. Of course Wikipedia is not a memorial site. I understand that. But the movies to be released and her appearance in the soap that is very popular is an indication for notability. It may be weak. Perhaps a link out of the entries for the movies to come (people coming later will ask what did she do before e.g.) and the soap would justify the entry to be kept. Royalrec (talk) 22:40, 17 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete Just being in a crash and starring only in a TV soap is not enough. If this doesn't pass we might even see lots of random pages dedicated to random people who got coverage since they passed away in a crash --Sau226 (talk) 07:36, 18 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry but this is a bit weird, please explain exactly when BBC and other news services have devoted named frontpage news for weeks on a random car crash? Please do not make up stuff that is clearly not true, there is no chance of random people in car crashes getting on here. GuzzyG (talk) 12:47, 18 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep I felt maybe perhaps a revision, in which I don't think I presented my arguments tone correctly, maybe someone needs to write a sort of sub genre tab, for life instances, or make a page for Jessica falkholt who has an imdb page and sounds pretty damn famous enough to deserve to have a page to be known for the human she was, and that is the point of the amazing wiki library, and regardless of what that family wants, there is an even greater gain to society, within this beautifully devious life lesson, luring mistresses they can be...edit- I didn't know that something has to be famous to be recorded in "the free encyclopedia"(which I basically learned a novice in pharmacology, grateful) as long as it knowledgeable, and or interesting, and look at this beautiful page a collective of humans took to edit, seems like there was a lot to say about her, well if your gonna destroy that work, you look it in the face and tell it. I guess it all boils down to how promising her career was, but I'm from eastern U.S.A. and news of her death was front page first thing I opened my homepage to. btw someone should seriously pioneer that wiki sub genre tab.-fervy Ferventtboundz (talk) 10:48, 18 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
