Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Sonequa Martin-Green
She's been in multiple films. She has been a recurring character on mutliple TV series. And now she's been promoted to the regular cast of the top-rated scripted show on television (The Walking Dead) for its upcoming season: http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/live-feed/walking-dead-season-4-spoilers-tyreese-beth-sasha-432869 . If we examine the text of some of the rationales cited in support of deletion, I don't think the policies support deletion in this case. In fact, some of those policies actually support inclusion. For instance,  most definitely does not exclude which other articles exist from the discussion. In fact, that essay (not a policy) explicitly states that the comparisons to other existing articles "may form part of a cogent argument". But it states that such comparisons should not alone be the basis for an AfD discussion. Comparisons are definitely relevant in this case, but some elements of  are subjective. Defining what is a "significant role" can be aided by looking at the roles of other actors who have articles. And I think recurring in a multiple episode arc of a TV series is significant. I watch NYC 22. Sonequa Martin-Green was integral to many episodes and the main story arc of one of the lead characters.   was cited in favor of deletion, but the text of the actual policy strongly favors keeping the article. Breaking down by elements. (1) There are multiple sources (12 including references and links). (2) All but one (the Twitter post) are secondary. (3) They are reliable, with several coming from notable entertainment news or general news sources (The Hollywood Reporter, The Huffington Post, TV Guide via the Seattle Post-Intelligencer site), Digital Spy, TV Line, etc.). (4) The reference are intellectually independent rather than just mirrors on different sites. (5) With the exception of the Twitter post, all the sources are apparently independent (not published by people other than Martin-Green or a concerning conflict of interest). And I know some might find page views entirely irrelevant, I think it's worth mentioning as just one element in a detailed analysis. The Sonequa Martin-Green article has over 41,000 page view over the last month
