• Not sure how the notability guidelines for entertainers apply, but if "multiple" can mean appearing in more more than one episode of a notable TV production, I would lean to keep.-- Andreas Philopater ( talk) 16:27, 26 January 2017 (UTC) reply
  • She plays a main character of a Spin-off of the world's longest running Science Fiction series (Doctor Who). I do not think this is not very minor and she should be notable. -- Dynara23 ( talk) 20:47, 26 January 2017 (UTC) reply

• Comment Yip, your right Dynara23, it is a spin off show. Notability is not inherited, so the fact that it is spin off is neither here nor there. How many times she has appeared in show, is neither here nor there either. scope_creep ( talk) 23:35, 26 January 2017 (UTC) reply
  • Well I think through Doctor Who this series will still be talked of in many coming years. Doctor Who is just so big and it exists since 1963. It is the the same with other official Spin Offs like K-9 and Company, a series, where only the pilot was released and even now (40 years later) many people get to know this pilot, because it is linked to Doctor Who (DVDs, audio books etc. to the series were released decades after). I think this is not to be underrated, I think even in 10, 20, 40,... years there will be people interested in the main actors of this series (maybe more than in other actors of other series who are successful now as well). And now Vivian Oparah is also mentioned a lot in the media. I do not see why she should not be relevant. -- Dynara23 ( talk) 22:11, 31 January 2017 (UTC) reply

Keep: A google news search yields a number of articles on the subject. Nevertheless, a call for further improvement of the article and references should be placed on the talk page. Zombalu ( talk) 12:08, 31 January 2017 (UTC) reply

Sock !vote above has been struck. Lepricavark ( talk) 19:56, 1 February 2017 (UTC) reply

Comment Ive been watching Dr Who since 70-71, but I feel in this case, brand new actress. Is it just a case of turning up and getting an article. There needs to be some value in notability. scope_creep ( talk) 02:14, 2 February 2017 (UTC) reply
