- Delete. Coupla things. The name 'Elizabeth Morgan' is semi-common; that she is sometimes referred to as 'Liz Morgan' can make it harder for us to identify good sources. For example, there may have been another actress by the same name (probably not the British actress -- an American one, died 1987). So I used this search string in the browser bar: "elizabeth morgan" OR "liz morgan" (actor? OR actress OR brit? OR shoulders OR thalidomide OR wiles OR scarlet OR mysterons), clicked on 'Images', and there was some consistency in images, maybe 5-10 of the same person. That is one way so we can get a sense of what she looks like, if we use a search string like that, since it has a greater likelihood of bringing in obscure mentions, hopefully not excluding good sources. What I've found is that clearly notable people often have lots of photos of themselves, particularly in the entertainment industry, and while of course this is not a formal wiki-test of notability, I sometimes use it to get a sense of whether a person is notable, so in this regard, the paucity of consistent images is a sign to me that she's not notable. Another unofficial sign: so-so pageviews (that is, relative to other entertainment types). I searched 10 SERP pages, didn't find much, although there was a listing in a BBC piece.--Tomwsulcer (talk) 11:42, 31 July 2014 (UTC)
- Keep. Longtime performer and voice actress who is listed by the British Film Institute as both Liz Morgan (28 credits in 1967–68 {including a regular role in the cult TV series Captain Scarlet and the Mysterons}, 1991 and 1993) and Elizabeth Morgan here (81 credits between 1965 and 1996) and here (8 credits between 1975 and 1991). IMDb gives Elizabeth Morgan (including her billing as Liz Morgan) 104 credits in 41 TV series as well as in a couple of films. —Roman Spinner (talk)(contribs) 13:42, 31 July 2014 (UTC)
- No doubt she has had a long career, multiple roles, including as a voice actor, but there is little written about her. Like, what do we say in the Wikipedia article on her? That she was in umpteen shows? That's about all we can say. Here is the wording from the GNG that the topic has received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject and I did not find that. That is really what is needed here: multiple independent nontrivial reliable sources.--Tomwsulcer (talk) 14:55, 31 July 2014 (UTC)
- Elizabeth/Liz Morgan has not had the career of a star or even a major supporting performer and, it seems at first glance, has not had much written about her, but neither was she a bit player or an extra. In fact, virtually all of her credits provide her with on-screen billing. Although she has been a relatively minor actress, such status is analogous to that of hundreds of other such actors whose Wikipedia entries have little more than a one-line description and a list of credits. Of course, WP:OTHER STUFF EXISTS, but in this circumstance, so much other such stuff exists that it would be counterintuitive to single out Elizabeth Morgan (actress) for deletion. —Roman Spinner (talk)(contribs) 16:02, 31 July 2014 (UTC)

- Comment User:Montanabw, in what way do you think WP:NACTOR or WP:GNG is met? I can't see any suggestion of this from article, the only reference in the article (the unreliable IMDB) or the comments above. Boleyn (talk) 07:51, 1 August 2014 (UTC)
