A borderline NACTOR fail. There are secondary sources, but all of them (except the cosmopolitan source in the article) is a review of the Wonka musical, and anything else which isn't that is an interview (which is also usually in the context of the Wonka role). It smells a bit BLP1E. Most of the sources do meet significant coverage, but since this is the biography of a minor, I'm going to err on the side of putting this up for deletion.

I beg to differ. I wanted to make sure I understood the rules for deletion based on BLP1E. After reading this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:What_BLP1E_is_not, I am sure it does not apply in this case. First of all, this is a professional actress who certainly doesn't shed the limelight. Secondly, even though Wonka (a $125 million dollar movie), is clearly her major breakthrough, she has a string of appearances in other TV and movie productions, starting in 2016.

I remember having exactly the same discussion when I created articles for Jodie Turner-Smith and Demi Singleton when they had their breakthrough roles. Both were saved from the brink of deletion and now have countless references to them from other articles. Calah Lane is not a one-hit wonder, but a young actress with quite a resume and more starring roles ahead of her. Tomdejong14 (talk) 09:40, 9 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I'm gonna make a simple suggestion here. Since you did create this article, please do add more references to the article itself, for I'm sure it will easily satisfy WP:GNG and WP:BIO. -- Rsrikanth05 (talk) 05:26, 10 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the suggestion. I've linked all mentions of Calah Lane in other Wikipedia articles to this page (there were quite a few already, certainly not all tied to the "Wonka" movie). I also added more references to external sources. Hopefully the editors will agree there is merit in keeping this article. That 'marked for deletion' banner still hurts.

On 13 December 2023 it was announced Calah Lane was nominated for a 2023 Critics' Choice Award in the category Best Young Actor/Actress. The author of the page listing the nominees linked to the Calah Lane article. Tomdejong14 (talk) 01:32, 14 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Keep FWIW, I can see a few news stories (not in the refs already) about Lane herself. In my view, this does clear WP:GNG. --Rsrikanth05 (talk) 05:28, 10 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
