[edit] Marta Sparrow Anderson

• Delete. NN, vanity LotLE×talk 18:19, 14 June 2006 (UTC)
• Delete vanity or maybe even a hoax. Article has a "filmography" section, but I couldn't find an IMDB entry. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 18:32, 14 June 2006 (UTC)
• Delete No verification of notability, probably vanity/promotional. OhNoitsJamie^Talk 19:48, 14 June 2006 (UTC)

This is racism, this girl is a model and an actress from cuba. The films are cuban made, Im sure if you were to look it up in a cuban website you would find it. If this gets deleted I will bring in racism charges. So now I guess we can not have hispanics on this unless they have made a contribution to the US arts? How am I promoting someone I do not know personally, I just enjoyed the movies she was in. Give me a break, this is total racism at it's best!—Preceding unsigned comment added by Hermaine (talk • contribs)

If you believe there is some Cuban website that discusses these movies, I've sure voters here would be very happy to look at them. Such discussion, if it exists, might well push the subject to notability. But provide specific URLs, not a vague assertion that such sites might exist. Obviously, many Cubans (and other hispanics) are perfectly notable, and have Wikipedia articles; as are people of many nationalities whose primary notability is outside the USA (there is a definite focus problem where English-language topics get more coverage; but I've never seen a genuinely notable biography of a non-English speaker get deleted... I presume Ms. Anderson is an English speaker, as well as Spanish, in any case. LotLE×talk 21:12, 14 June 2006 (UTC)

• Comment Unfounded accusations of racism will get you nowhere, and do not eliminate the need to verify claims. Even if her stardom is entirely in Cuba she would show up somewhere on the web. She does not. Even a Cuban movie would show up somewhere on the web, yet "La historia de Z" does not. Fan1967 20:12, 14 June 2006 (UTC)
• Confusion I don't get it. If you don't know her personally and only know her movies, how on earth did you manage to take that photo of her which you supposedly released into the public domain? "I, the creator of this work, hereby release it into the public domain." Don't tell me you lied about being the creator of the photo! That would be very serious indeed.

• Delete Absolutely fails any verification. So does Kemet Dance Productions, the dance company she is allegedly a part of. Fan1967 20:23, 14 June 2006 (UTC)
• Delete. Non-notable, non-encyclopaedic. Exploding Boy 03:35, 15 June 2006 (UTC)
