Delete. WP:BLP of an actress and singer, not well-sourced and of uncertain notability at best. Of the three sources here, exactly none of them count as reliable sources -- two are entertainment gossip blogs, and the third is a very PR-toned directory profile on a "news" website of dubious reliability. It's unclear whether her television role would be "major" enough to clear WP:NACTOR even if it were properly sourced, as she appears to have been fired from the series within a few months of its debut -- and the article claims and sources nothing that would get her over WP:NMUSIC at all. As always, neither actresses nor musicians are automatically entitled to Wikipedia articles just because they can be nominally verified as existing; reliable source coverage which verifies passage of a notability criterion is required for an article to become earned.

You didn't add anything that bolsters the reliable sourcing at all, actually. Every new source that's been added since I initiated this discussion is still of the same two classes of unreliable sources that I addressed in the nomination statement: they're still either tabloid gossip blogs or PR-toned directory profiles, not reliable media.
