Simply put, claims of significance amount to mere supposition. That is, expressing a belief about something; or the expression of a belief that is held with confidence, but not substantiated by ''positive'' knowledge or proof. Essentially, you are asking for proof of a ''negative''. There is a lack of |evidence which documents that the subject meets the topical notability guidelines which you assert, i.e., that she has had '''significant''' roles in '''multiple''' artistic productions. The topical notability guidelines serve as an indicator that sources ''may'' exist. They ''do not'' give leeway to dismissing the need for proper sourcing. In order to meet Wikipedia's standards for |verifiability and |notability, the article in question must actually ''document'' that the criterion stated in the topical guidelines is true. It is not enough to make vague claims in the article or assert a subject's importance in an AfD discussion – the article itself ''must document'' notability. No more; no less. And nothing personal
