The article at present is cited mainly to WP:TABLOID type press articles with reports of a messy divorce in "he said/she said" format. The obituary reports on a tragic death from a morphine overdose but provides no further biographical details. None of the sources cite anything specific about the subject's career as an actress (ie where she performed, parts she played, etc.). The article also has some rather humorous errors, such as calling "The Fencing Master" a company. It's a play adapted from the novel The Fencing Master which Max Freeman was working for as its stage manager on tour in 1893. In a WP:BEFORE search, which included google books, JSTOR, EBSCOE, and newspaper archives I could find zero mentions about this particular actress (no reference works, no reviews, not even advertisements), although a British actress of the same name who was alive later was in many sources. In short, there is nothing here demonstrating the subject meets WP:NACTRESS or WP:SIGCOV. On a side note, I have now started an article on her alleged husband (according to the sources cited in the Vera Freeman article he claimed they were never married in court) Max Freeman who was in reference works. Perhaps a redirect/merge to this article would be preferable per WP:ATD? However, I'm not sure that is even appropriate given that the later British actress did have a significant career and would be the more likely search term. 4meter4 (talk) 21:47, 13 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. I cannot find anything about her career. As the nominator mentions, all the references are regarding a British actress who was working 15 or 20 years after her death. -- Ssilvers (talk) 01:18, 14 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I don't know - working 15 years after you die sounds pretty notable!!! --A. B. ^{(talk • contribs • global count)} 22:02, 20 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect I also can find nothing about her career, but found multiple references on their separation, divorce, and her death. DaffodilOcean (talk) 10:06, 14 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
