Elga Andersen

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Fails WP:NBIO - only shred of notability (at least referenced here) is her marriage to Peter Gimbel and her work on the Andrea Doria (though no mention is made of what exactly she did, so I find it questionable). Kirbanzo (talk) 00:37, 3 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Keep a significant film actress for whom there are plenty of sources and mentions available in GBooks and others for those who do WP:BEFORE.104.163.148.25 (talk) 02:45, 3 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Keep There are thousands of actors/actresses in WP who never had a role as prominent as Andersen's role in Le Mans. Chris the speller ^yack 03:55, 3 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Strong delete There is a total lack of having enough sources to show notability. There are probably thousands of articles on actresses in Wikipedia that need to be deleted, but we need to start somewhere.John Pack Lambert (talk) 06:15, 3 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Multiple significant/starring roles in notable films. --Michig (talk) 07:34, 3 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Just a thought. Is there no way we could create links to our sister projects, in this case with the intention of finding out how notable she is in Germany. I have gone to look up an actor from my native country, seen there is not an article, created one, only to have it deleted. For example, as an English Wikipedian I was surprised no article existed on Deidre Costello, the English actress, when I went to start one I found a previous article had been deleted as non-notable. However there is one on Deidre Costello the Irish Camogie player.Bashereyre (talk) 08:17, 3 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Bashereyre: It's quite easy, just use de:Elga Andersen. All the Wikipedias are linked now via Wikidata items, for example-wikidata:Q76399. The wikidata item is linked on the left-hand sidebar, and articles in other languages are also. To make it clear when another Wikipedia has a better article, you can use the {{expand language}} tag at the top of the article. Prince of Thieves (talk) 17:03, 3 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Keep – Probably not "a significant actress", but meets WP:NACTOR/CELEBRITY. -- Michael Bednarek (talk) 08:41, 3 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. This one is pretty obviously notable. The Drover's Wife (talk) 11:50, 4 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Even a casual glance through the films she's been involved in (Bonjour Tristesse, The Guns of Navarone, Le Mans) should be enough to tell anyone that Andersen is probably notable. It's also very likely that her marriage to an American millionaire attracted coverage in the tabloid press of the day. Ejgreen77 (talk) 23:28, 5 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. I have added independent, reliable sourcing for the article facts. She was a popular foreign actress and was best known in the U.S. for starring opposite Steve McQueen in Le Mans, and for exploring the wreck of the SS Andrea Doria with her second husband, Peter Gimbel. Yoninah (talk) 00:40, 7 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - for her film roles, and wreck diving notability. She apparently was also rumored to have had an affair with McQueen during Le Mans, and his production company gave her a Porsche. [[1]] TimTempleton ^(talk) ^(cont) 01:04, 10 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
