  • Comment: The Argus is great! The other references used don't go towards notability; refs need to provide extensive coverage specifically about Kerry Knuppe via independent, reliable sources.
    Give other articles about actors a look, and consider creating a chart for her filmography (rather than including her credits as prose). Also, per WP style, refer to her only by her last name; her full name should be only used in the opening. JSFarman (talk) 00:36, 19 April 2025 (UTC)
