Should the lead just refer to her as an actress or should it include writer, director and producer? JDDJS (talk) 13:03, 23 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Actress only Per WP:BLPLEAD, the lead should include what roles make her notable and not to overload it with various sundry roles. She is notable for being an actress and not for directing one single film that only had a limited release. Without the directing job, Shepard is still easily notable enough for an article. However, without her acting roles, she isn't even notable enough for an article. JDDJS (talk) 13:03, 23 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
You skipped WP:RFCBEFORE. If you want to remove the cited material from the lede because of the just-now-raised WP:BLPLEAD objection, is there another place in the article you'd like to relocate the cited material? -- JHunterJ (talk) 13:08, 23 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Actress only - Summoned by bot. We'd only include writer, director, and producer if she was notable for them. Meatsgains(talk) 00:53, 10 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
