  • Keep. Refs now added, several other articles link to it including one citing a lead role in a TV drama, red links that prompted its creation would return if deleted. Sealman (talk) 22:00, 9 June 2014 (UTC)
  • Weak keep. The refs hint at notability, but only just in my opinion. Szzuk (talk) 16:06, 11 June 2014 (UTC)

  • Delete None of the four sources appear to me to be both reliable (under our standards) and signficant. There might be arguably such a source in my research, it's hard to tell whether [http://books.google.com/books?id=rAk_AQAAIAAJ&q=Delena+Kidd&dq=Delena+Kidd&hl=en&sa=X&ei=SjWqU6-QNdK9oQSB6oK4CA&ved=0CCMQ6AEwAjgU] meets the bar of signficant coverage, but if it is, it would still only reach half of GNG. Additional sources welcome, as always. --j⚛e deckertalk 02:37, 25 June 2014 (UTC) Moved to Keep, Cunard's sources meet WP:GNG. --j⚛e deckertalk 06:05, 26 June 2014 (UTC)
  • Keep per the significant coverage in [http://www.oxfordtimes.co.uk/news/10701983.Back_on_stage_where_love_blossomed/ this article][http://www.webcitation.org/6QbyZybzG WebCite] from The Oxford Times. See also [http://www.iol.co.za/capetimes/a-tender-romp-about-lost-youth-1.1265407 this article][http://www.webcitation.org/6QbyvTJ2i WebCite] from Independent Online (South Africa), where the author reviewed a play Delena Kidd performed in. Here is the coverage in the Independent Online article about Delena Kidd:
    I last saw Delena Kidd and Gary Raymond in the brilliantly witty and clever Dear Liar at the Theatre on the Bay three years ago.

    They made a formidable and very watchable couple back then. And they still do. British actor Gary Raymond, who is known for his Hollywood roles in Look Back in Anger, El Cid and Jason and the Argonauts, completed his training at the Royal Shakespeare Company and the actor, now in his mid-seventies, still cuts a dashing figure.

    His real-life wife of about 50 years, Delena Kidd, is excellent at portraying Jean, the bitter fallen star. She teems with anger and regret and takes it all out on the poor Reginald, who seems to be hovering around the edge of senility, but clearly still adores her. Kidd has a cult following for her roles in The Avengers and Danger Man.

    There is also some less significant coverage in [http://docs.newsbank.com/s/InfoWeb/aggdocs/AWNB/10D8552E0FF42737/0D7C12F5A8A2A86A this article][http://www.webcitation.org/6QbzFzP8q WebCite] from Croydon Guardian ("His wife and co-star Delena Kidd has appeared in and produced many Shakespeare productions around the world and is also known for her feature role in the TV series Family Affairs.") and [http://docs.newsbank.com/s/InfoWeb/aggdocs/AWNB/10D858B89BD48FC3/0D7C12F5A8A2A86A this article][http://www.webcitation.org/6QbzLn7rG WebCite] from Hampshire County Publications (Experienced stage and screen actress Delena Kidd plays Harriett, a stylish and attractive woman who suddenly decides to introduce her ex-lover to her husband ... His wife and co-star, Delena Kidd, has a cult following for roles in The Avengers and Danger Man, among many other performances.).

    I think there is sufficient coverage about Delena Kidd and reviews of her performances that she passes Wikipedia:Notability#General notability guideline. Cunard (talk) 05:33, 26 June 2014 (UTC)
