I'm honestly quite baffled with how this article ever managed to be considered, let alone approved for a good article nomination. Not only are THREE of the only twenty-four references from IMDb, but some of these things seem to be more suitable for a fan magazine. These facts include, but are not limited to:

She has the "reputation of a scream queen" (subjective and also generally not agreed upon, as far as I've heard)
Her "other names" are "Queen Scout" and "That Chick Who Slays"
She has 8 tattoos
She is known for her "tomboy fashion"
She enjoys volleyball, cheerleading, dance, gymnastics and roller-blading, and has several cats and dogs
She is a fan of horror films, especially those featuring Michael [Myers], Jason [Voorhees] and Chucky. She also enjoys Thir13en Ghosts, Halloween 4 and Halloween 5
She is a fan of the lead actress in the latter two films Danielle Harris

Most of these are either subjective or just plain unimportant, and also not things that are necessary in writing a biography about someone's life. The "Career" section, although it is written well and has much more crucial information than her "Early life" section, is poorly sourced and the references that are there don't seem to be very reliable at all:

"TeenHollywood", the link of which leads to absolutely nothing, and if searched only seems to find pictures of teenage actresses, with no trace of the existence of an actual website
A "Daily Press" link which leads to a "Page not found" error
"Steal Her Style", a website made for the sole purpose of finding clothes worn by female celebrities, along with pictures of haircuts/color changes, makeup and tattoos
"superiorpics.com", a site which appears to be for finding scantily clad pictures of female actresses, but also unfortunately provides none of the information that the article claims it does, possibly due to a deletion of content on the site, but is nonetheless a worthless source now
"Teen Mag", which, although it seems to be the only semi-reliable source thus far (as it is an actual publication as opposed to a forum of some sort) only provides superfluous information about which sports she enjoys and her pets
"celebritykidz.com", yet another dead website
Fangoria, which is an actual fan magazine and doesn't provide any information that's useful to the article

The rest seem to follow the same sort of pattern. This article is far from being "good": not only is far too short, but it also is poorly sourced, the information that is correctly sourced is unimportant, and the subject herself seems to be of low importance. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Benmite (talk • contribs) 00:41, 4 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Delist: I note that a number of paragraphs appear to end in unreferenced information, which for a BLP should be rectified. Additionally, the whole of the Filmography section has no references. I also note that there appears to be very little actual content about the person herself, as opposed to her work. For instance, is there any information in reliable sources on her schooling and education, siblings, etc? Regards, AustralianRupert (talk) 06:26, 21 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
