    - As of right now, the films don't seem to be too notable. None of them seem to have Wikipedia articles, at least. Not sure if any are notable. only (talk) 19:37, 31 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
      - Seems to be best known for small but memorable role in the first episode of series The Walking Dead, see Huffington Post article here http://m.huffpost.com/us/entry/the-first-zombie-on-walking-dead-addy-miller_5613478de4b022a4ce5f4864 Atlantic306 (talk) 16:36, 2 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Agree with nominator. She is currently a non-notable actress, which may change in the future. Delta13C (talk) 16:05, 5 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Keep I think Addy Miller meets the WP:NACTOR criteria of: Has a large fan base or a significant "cult" following. Miller has a significant cult following as the first zombie from The Waking Dead and for her horror movie roles- she does countrywide tours of horror conventions. (see Huffington post article in earlier comment).Also, regarding criteria 3: Has made unique, prolific or innovative contributions to a field of entertainment, I believe Miller qualifiers as a prolific contributor to the field of horror film with 38 screen credits at age 15.Atlantic306 (talk) 20:48, 5 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
- 38 screen credits on IMDb, sure, but how many of those are notable/significant films? Fourteen of those 38 are listed as "short" and seem to be local films for local film festivals, not notable movies. Three of the roles are uncredited. Is there evidence of her "cult" following? Just appearing at conventions doesn't make her have a cult following necessarily. only (talk) 21:12, 5 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  - WP:NACTOR I took to mean that although Miller does not qualify for notable roles being in notable films at present she can still qualify under criteria 2 for having a cult following or even if that fails under criteria3 for being prolific which I understood doesn't have to be in notable productions necessarily.I still think her output is prolific even discounting short films.Atlantic306 (talk) 22:30, 5 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  - As well as U.S.A., Miller seems to have a cult following in Germany where she also attends horror conventions and has lots of google hits for German horror and movie sites.Regarding cult status in U.S. this was uploaded yesterday here also state coverage here and convention coverage here and horror sites here.Atlantic306 (talk) 14:14, 6 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  - I've corrected the links above.Atlantic306 (talk) 14:41, 6 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
    - I still don't believe that these links help prove notability for her. only (talk) 01:56, 12 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
      - Added this here to external links, example of her following in Germany.Atlantic306 (talk) 18:25, 12 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
        I'm not sure what it adds other than showing her appearing once at a convention in Germany. only (talk) 21:05, 12 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
        This article from mainstream German newspaper mentions cult status here I'm trying to get a better translation of this and an article from Bild but am having trouble with the translater appsAtlantic306 (talk) 22:55, 12 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Delete the sources that Atlantic306 mentioned are either passing mentions or in one case (thenewenglandmegafest) source are not reliable. Fails WP:GNG but might also be a WP:TOOSOON here. 166.164.37.67 (talk) 15:06, 21 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
- The references I gave such as the Huffington Post are articles completely about her,much more than passing mentionsAtlantic306 (talk) 16:02, 21 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
