A nonnotable former actor, she appears to have done a succession of minor roles that includes her roles on the sitcom One on One and as young Aisha on Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. There is no evidence of secondary sources to back up any claims as the template on the article mentions that it has multiple issues that I think if some were to be found wouldn't be enough to prevent this article from being deleted.

- Delete a non-notable actress. The article also lacks any reliable sources.

" I am tired of being attacked for looking at articles as they are. The fact that a list sprouted up without good sourcing should be held against it. If we want Wikipedia to be useful and reliable we need to stop letting junk like this just sit around indefinately because it allegedly can be improved.".
I find his admission alarming. Since the article has had references added, since he left this comment, I'd like to request his opinion here to be discounted.
As for his comment about "letting junk sit around indefinately [sic]"... The wikipedia has been undergoing a slow process of increasing standards. Yes, this article was unreferenced. However, when this article was started, in 2005, ALL our article were unreferenced, as the technical support for {{ cite}} style references wasn't added until 2007. So, I see this as an irresponsible criticism of this article, and in the AFDs of every other older article where he has applied it. Geo Swan ( talk) 02:23, 9 April 2020 (UTC)

CommentKeep Yes, the article was unreferenced, a serious problem, but it didn't take that long for me to start to update the article, and add half a dozen references. Geo Swan ( talk) 23:17, 7 April 2020 (UTC)- Nominator may have been confused by the article's ill-advised move from
Sicily Sewell to
Sicily (actress), and so not realized that the appropriate web searches in order to comply with their
WP:BEFORE obligations would have been
"sicily sewell" or "sicily johnson". That search shows Sewell shifted from acting to being a celebrated chef.
FWIW, the article should be moved back to Sicily Sewell as soon as this AFD closes. Geo Swan ( talk) 19:30, 8 April 2020 (UTC)
