I am nominating this article for deletion because of the questionable validity of the sources and the questionable notability of the person. This is not a television actress but someone who appeared in ONE YouTube web series. Reference 1 and 9 are the person's own MySpace page. Reference 7 is a video that does not even contain the person in the article. The line, 'She also starred in a psychological-thriller feature called Copy, Credit, Meals Provided which was screened by Lion's Gate, among others. The movie was the first full-length feature that she starred in.' is supposedly backed by reference 4. That is a video interview that contains no mention of a film reviewed by Lionsgate. The line ' Dreyfus is currently working on music for her forthcoming debut record.' is backed by her own MySpace page and was referenced 3 years ago and there has been no evidence of such an album coming to fruition. 94.5.51.3 (talk) 13:40, 20 May 2010 (UTC) — 94.5.51.3 (talk) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.

I would be opposed to the deletion of this article. She was one the primary actors in both Lonelygirl15 and the subsequent series The Resistance. I think you have identified that the article clearly needs updating, though.--Milowent (talk) 14:22, 20 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
I see the nom was posted while I was typing, I will respond there.--Milowent (talk) 14:23, 20 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
At best this should be merged into the article about Lonelygirl15. As stated above, the references are mainly the person's own MySpace page and the article contains unverified and dated information. If you remove this info you are left with a very small stub about someone who was in a scripted internet video blog series.

This "small stub" would be larger than tens of thousands of actor articles, though.--Milowent (talk) 15:09, 20 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Probably because they stick to valid information and not personal MySpace information, opinions, unverified trivia etc as is the case here. We're talking about someone who has not had more than 30 seconds of television time. Wikipedia is useful but storage costs for servers are increasing and we should think carefully about inclusion for the sake of it. 94.1.122.129 (talk) 22:20, 20 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks to her new show with Paris Hilton she has officially had more than 30 seconds of TV time. She is an up and coming Starlet and I find her interesting.
This article needs a lot of work. There are no sources cited. Much of the article appears to be a thinly disguised resume. There are editorial comments, such as "We all make mistakes." And there are errors in the mechanics of English. It should either be cleaned up or deleted.
These lines are filled with errors and biased/unnecessary language: Alexandra Dreyfus was born in sunny Los Angeles, and as a young professional was thrown straight into the Hollywood mixer appearing in soap opera’s, commercials and as the face of Mattel, Barbie boxes everywhere. She went to UCSB to study psychology but at the age of 19 moved to Germany to spend time developing her eye under a high profile Vogue photographer.
Back to LA she flew, working in production for Bully Pictures and Bullrun car rallies, where she became an expert on maximizing minimal budgets, fabrication for sets, casting, working with and hiring the right crew, time management on set, and pitching to major networks. Alexandra then went on to star in the cult phenomenon, Lonelygirl15 –
Among the problematic words: "sunny;" "thrown straight into the Hollywood mixer;" "soap opera's (sic);" "as the face of Mattel, (sic) Barbie boxes everywhere;" "high profile (sic) Vogue photographer (uncited);" "expert on... (uncited);" "cult phenomenon (uncited)"
