This article has multiple issues. Currently the prose contains 27 words so this is actually a list article and not an article with an embedded list. While WP:PSEUDO is part of an essay, the long term request for citations (since 2010) has remained without improvements. A short dictionary entry is against policy. Including an embedded list as an article is inappropriate and sourcing through the "Exteral links" has been shown not to comply with sourcing policies and guidelines. Using IMDb as a source then duplicating this as citations has been determined to be unacceptable per WP:RS/CBM, WP:USERG, WP:Citing IMDb, and WP:ELP.

There is a point when a stub BLP article, that arguably should not have been created, has existed without improvement and needs to be examined. Creating pages just to fill the criteria that all things IMDb should have an article fails many policies, guidelines, and even broad community based consensus supported essays.

If there is sinificant coverage in multiple reliable and "independent" sources it may be time for someone to prove it.WP:NEXIST states: However, once an article's notability has been challenged, merely asserting that unspecified sources exist is seldom persuasive, especially if time passes and actual proof does not surface.
