Non notable internet actress. Does not satisfy WP: BIO or WP:INTERNET RogueNinja_talk 08:50, 3 March 2008 (UTC)

• Strong Keep - She is one of the most popular youtube personalities and was a cast member of MadTV at one point. She had an article written about her in the NYT. She does meet WP:INTERNET criteria. Some of the other YT personalities that have entries on WP are far less popular and noteworthy than her. AgnosticPreachersKid (talk) 11:40, 3 March 2008 (UTC)
• Delete per nominator's reasoning. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 12:02, 3 March 2008 (UTC)

• Per nominator's reasoning? The nominator didn't give any reasoning except links to guidelines with absolutely no content as to why they think this topic fails those guidelines. --Oakshade (talk) 17:30, 3 March 2008 (UTC)

Exactly what I was thinking. AgnosticPreachersKid (talk) 20:02, 3 March 2008 (UTC)

• Weak keep There are a few references, and the NYT one does satisfy WP:RS. A single ref may be considered trivial, but three of the other refs are debatable (zap2it, movieweb, and adweek). Yngvarr (c) 12:15, 3 March 2008 (UTC)
• Weak keep per Yngvarr; involvement in MADTV seems to be sufficient for notability. Ten Pound Hammer and his otters • ^{(Broken clamshells•Otter chirps)} 13:49, 3 March 2008 (UTC)

• Comment I might also suggest that this page be moved to Lisa Donovan (actress) or something, since there was also a singer by that name. Ten Pound Hammer and his otters • ^{(Broken clamshells•Otter chirps)} 13:52, 3 March 2008 (UTC)

• Keep - the history of the internet is just as important as real life. The development of the Youtube community is an important part of the internet as a whole. STHayden ^{[ Talk ]} 15:11, 3 March 2008 (UTC)
• Keep - Being the primary subject of New York Times and Der Spiegel articles [1] [2] alone easily satisfy WP:BIO. The nom has given no credible reason (actually no reason at all) as to why they think this person doesn't pass WP:BIO. Interestingly, she got on MadTV after the first AfD. --Oakshade (talk) 17:20, 3 March 2008 (UTC)
• May have been iffy last time, but a pretty clear keep now. Hopefully people will watchlist it and keep out some of the problem edits. I think a move is advised; we don't have an article on the Lisa Donovan who's a singer, but we do have Elisa Donovan, whose birth name is Lisa, so that makes three to disambiguate (with a redlink). --Dhartung | Talk 23:39, 3 March 2008 (UTC)

• Keep, the New York Times and Der Spiegel articles are evidence of notability. --Pixelface (talk) 08:18, 5 March 2008 (UTC)
