This heavily promotional stub is about an actress who does not pass WP:NACTOR, as she has played only supporting roles in notable productions. She also fails WP:GNG, the closest thing to SIGCOV in a reliable source she's received is a couple sentence-long passing mentions such as this for being cast in Spartacus: War of the Damned.

Weak Keep: Thanks to the nominator for notifying me of the AFD. I created this article back in 2013, not as a promotional attempt, but because back then there was a tool called "Popular redlinks" that listed the most popular hits for pages that did not yet exist; it was a fun way to see trends of new popular subjects that may be notable. Does anything like this exist now? I have no idea; that tool was created by the same editor who created tools with which we started the WP:TOP25. ANYWAY, I digress. The coverage is a bit weaker than I would hope for, hopefully something additional can be found and added.--Milowent • ^hasspoken 14:31, 27 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Delete: Her imdb page, a bunch of unrelated obituaries and photos from Spartacus are about all I find. I tried a .nz search as well, not much more turns up. Oaktree b (talk) 13:18, 3 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to List of Spartacus (TV series) characters. Spartacus seems to be the only series or film in which she played a significant role (a recurring character in the final series). I have not been able to find SIGCOV of her in that or any other role. RebeccaGreen (talk) 14:33, 8 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Comment - I can't figure out if this is the same person; imdb says it is but I'm not entirely sure. If it is, there may be more coverage of her beyond acting roles: [1] Tduk (talk) 16:03, 8 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I believe they're almost certainly the same Gwendoline Taylor, this promotional bio suggests that the actress studied at South Seas in post-production so the biographies match exactly. Unfortunately, her production career also doesn't seem to have received any SIGCOV, there's a couple blurbs but none from secondary sources.

Weak keep - Now that there's more material she's involved with in more than one project through which sources mention her, and her career seems to have diversified. I also don't think that there's a logical place for a redirect for that reason. Tduk (talk) 14:58, 10 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to List of Spartacus (TV series) characters. It's clear this was her only notable part as an actress. Her production work hasn't yet been written on in a significant way. If that changes the article could be recreated. At present redirect per WP:ATD is the best option.4meter4 (talk) 04:14, 11 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]
