:({{Find sources AFD|title=Preslaysa Edwards}})

Fails all criteria of WP:NACTOR and lacks the significant coverage required by WP:BASIC and WP:GNG. (1) She does not appear to have had "significant roles in multiple notable films, television shows, stage performances, or other productions", only having a recurring role in The Mystery Files of Shelby Woo, with other wiki articles of films on her IMDb page not listing her or being minor roles; (2) she does not appear to have "a large fan base or a significant "cult" following"; and (3) she does not appear to have "made unique, prolific or innovative contributions to a field of entertainment".

• Delete per nom. Fails WP:NACTOR and WP:BASIC. AleatoryPonderings (???) (!!!) 04:00, 31 October 2020 (UTC)
• Comment This is what I could find - She acted in a (notable?) play called The Death of Papa,[https://www.newspapers.com/clip/62456675/strong-cast-directing-fill-out-flat/][https://www.newspapers.com/clip/62456712/death-of-papa-a-gentle-chronicle/], but I'm not sure if the role is significant. She was also a panelist on the game show Figure it Out in 1997.[https://www.google.com/books/edition/Who_Was_Who_on_TV/gC-QvyfUyb0C?hl=en&gbpv=1&dq=Preslaysa+Edwards&pg=PA500&printsec=frontcover] I added some general biographical info to the article, too. As far as I can tell, it seems she got married and her name was changed to Preslaysa Williams and she started writing books as well.[https://www.preslaysa.com/meet-preslaysa/] I don't see any of her acting parts or books as significant enough to pass WP:CREATIVE. She seems to have just gotten a book deal with Avon Books,[https://www.publishersweekly.com/pw/by-topic/industry-news/book-deals/article/82378-book-deals-week-of-february-10-2020.html] so it's possible this article is WP:TOOSOON (which is weird to say about an article that is so old). I think it'd be best to redirect to The Mystery Files of Shelby Woo to keep the article's history. - Whisperjanes (talk) 05:15, 3 November 2020 (UTC)
• Delete It is very clear that her acting career does not make her a notable actress. She may at some point become a notable writer, but getting a deal to publish is never the point at which a writer becomes notable, so we should delete now with no prejudice against recreation if her writing career in the future leads to her being notable.John Pack Lambert (talk) 16:14, 4 November 2020 (UTC)

::I brought up the book deal not because it makes her notable, but because Edwards has gotten scattered coverage (and the article has an old history) and it may be enough that it's worth having a redirect instead of a hard delete. I think saving the edit history with a redirect could be a good alternative to deletion (partially because some of the sources in the article are old enough - from the 1990s - that they might be difficult to track down again). - Whisperjanes (talk) 05:57, 7 November 2020 (UTC)
