Another forever up and coming actress for the last 10 years. Has a history of being tagged with notability template which keeps being removed. Prod in June 2016, stuck with notability template since this time too, so plenty of time for authors to fix it. Still not meeting WP:BIO despite being around for so long, so delete.

  • Delete - look carefully and you will see that half of her hagiography is work collaborating with or working under her husband. Go to any of the articles of films or TV shows in which it is claimed she acted: no mention. I don't see sufficient reliable secondary sources to establish notability.

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Relisting comment: Just redirecting wife to husband strikes me as somewhat sexist, but discuss away...

  • Delete looked up Twitter page of our subject of discussion and i discovered she has 10,000 followers. I'm not sure what begins a "cult following" as stated by WP:ENT but i know it isnt 10,000 followers. That asides, she fails WP:GNGACTOR and WP:BASIC.

  • Keep. Subject has numerous film and television credits, with most of those highlighting her in leading or co-starring roles, not bit parts. IMDb specifies 153 individual acting credits in 64 films and TV shows. No one with such an acting resume, going back to 2005, can be accused of lacking notability. —Roman Spinner (talk)(contribs) 22:17, 4 November 2017 (UTC) reply
  • Comment The article isn't credible. TV pilot Wildlife role: Anne. Follow the wikilink: nothing. Then look at The Cleveland Show. The article claims Shim has various voice roles. Gee, I don't see any. IMDB is not a reliable independent source. Rhadow ( talk) 22:34, 4 November 2017 (UTC) reply
Some of the links in her biographical entry have not been made to point toward their proper targets, but those misdirected links should not become a reason in singling out the article for proposed deletion. Wildlife should be either redlinked or unlinked, because the pilot episode for this unsold NBC sitcom, in which Cathy Shim had a major supporting role, does not have its own Wikipedia entry, but is mentioned, at least, in the article for its star, Christopher Sieber#Television. As for The Cleveland Show, that link should actually flow not to the show's main header, but to the episode in which she provided the voice of Margaret Cho, Love Rollercoaster (The Cleveland Show), as depicted here. —Roman Spinner (talk)(contribs) 23:31, 4 November 2017 (UTC) reply
  • Delete: Looking at her filmogrophy her most notable role seems to be on "Reno 911" which she only starred in 9 episodes out of 88. Most of her other work appears to be single or a couple epidoes in various tv shows and non notable film roles. -- Deathawk ( talk) 23:09, 4 November 2017 (UTC) reply
  • Delete insufficient coverage in reliable sources. IMDB is not to be trusted in this instance because it has unreliable information. FAils WP:ENT, ANYBIO, and BASIC. --- Steve Quinn ( talk) 05:58, 5 November 2017 (UTC) reply

  • Delete - limited to no reliable sources to back up the information, and no major roles or even long standing minor roles in a major series. Very basic mediocre career, and the article is barely more than a list copied from Imdb. All round not worth keeping. Dysklyver 20:44, 5 November 2017 (UTC) reply
  • Keep. Subject has extensive acting history across television, movies, some theatre, and video games. For notability - I am seeking an additional reference, but she starred in one of Eminem's film-clips. Surely this is significant when as a comparison, there is a non-disputed page for young dancer Maddie Ziegler (who was the star of Sia's Chandelier video), and has a less extensive acting history. It seems inconsistent. Thank you for the opportunity to discuss this. SunnyBoi ( talk) 06:34, 6 November 2017 (UTC) reply
