Deletion rationale
Apparently this is not the person in question, nor has said person ever appeared on DS9 or any other incarnation of Star Trek. I'm not sure the source of the original identification, but based on the talk page, it seems to be based solely on a visual ID and an (inaccurate) IMDB reference.

Discussion
That is correct, Gvsualan. As a representative of Paige Brooks, we are asking that this page be deleted. Dr. Brooks is not a Star Trek actress and the information on the Paige Brooks Memory Alpha page is inaccurate. All inaccurate credit for the DS9 role has been removed from IMDb and all other online sources. This Memory Alpha page is the last source of the inaccurate information. Unfortunately, the page is appearing in search engines and displaying incorrect information for Dr. Brooks. As a result, we would like to have the Memory Alpha page removed as soon as possible. What is the process for getting the page deleted? Thank you for your cooperation in this matter. http://www.PaigeBrooks.com -- Info19 (talk) 23:59, December 9, 2019 (UTC)
Delete. -- Info19 (talk) 00:33, December 10, 2019 (UTC)
I for one still have questions. The actor's self-declared representative has assigned blame as to who claimed that Brooks filled the role on her own website, but has not explained how or why this happened. It seems very odd for someone who presumably had some kind of access to the actor to accidentally link her to such an extremely obscure role if she had nothing to do with it. Maybe even if this page were deleted we should note that while we don't know who played the role, at one point the website for one Page Brooks claimed that she was the one. Kinda dickish because it goes against Info19's stated goal of cleaning up Brook's google results, but it's perfectly true, and doesn't make that a fair solution? -- Capricorn (talk) 02:46, December 12, 2019 (UTC)
The email I received
I am confused. Did her management change? Because twelve years ago, when I contacted her management by using the link on her website, her manager/representative sent me an email. I still have this email and added a screenshot here. True that she is no Star Trek actress as said by "Info19" above but even Paige Brooks started to work as an "extra" on film and television before she got other parts. I know that many actors or performers don't want to have listed their "extra work" or "background work"... -- Tom (talk) 10:27, December 12, 2019 (UTC)
- In light of this evidence, Info19 has clearly not been upfront with us. I knew there was an agenda here. --Alan (talk) 12:22, December 12, 2019 (UTC)
- I've removed my delete vote based on Tom's new information. I agree, it appears that some sort of whitewash is being pursued for some reason. There's enough manipulation of the truth going on in the media today without us participating as well. Perhaps Dr. Paige Brooks, PhD is attempting to recast her image in some way, and Trek isn't part of the desired result. -- Renegade54 (talk) 15:50, December 12, 2019 (UTC)
- Interestingly, her entry at NowCasting.com has been removed as well: Template:NowCasting -- Renegade54 (talk) 15:56, December 12, 2019 (UTC)
We are surprised by the ongoing discussion for what is a very straightforward matter. I personally spoke with Dr. Brooks regarding this matter and she sends her regards and best wishes. She is flattered that so many of you care and would like to ensure you that our team is working hard to get the record set straight so your website is accurate. Years ago, unfortunately, a member of the Paige Brooks team was mistaken regarding Dr. Brooks making a DS9 appearance. The team that is currently in place is remedying that previous mistake. We regret this ever happened and are doing everything we can to fix it in a timely fashion. Please accept our apologies. Yes, DS9 was incorrectly listed on multiple websites. That incorrect information has since been removed except for this incorrect listing: the Paige Brooks Memory Alpha page. Regarding NowCasting: Dr. Brooks is no longer affiliated with NowCasting, thus the removal of her listing. She has different, updated representation and cannot be booked directly via NowCasting. It is a disservice to NowCasting and Dr. Brooks to have a misleading link/page. We appreciate your cooperation and assistance and agree with you that having accurate information available is of utmost importance. If you have questions or require any confirmation on my role in the organization, please feel free to email Info@PaigeBrooks.com and we will get back to you as soon as possible. We are happy to provide details for those of you who are surprisingly skeptical. Let's work together to correct this mistake and make your lovely website accurate! Thanks, again, for your understanding and support! Info19 (talk) 03:53, December 15, 2019 (UTC)
- There is nothing straight forward with this whatsoever. I'm not sure what kind of scam you are trying to run here, but when we have an email from the exact same website/email address that says the exact opposite of what you are now saying... no, you are re-writing history because someone is a doctor now and doesn't want some trivial, but apparently not, thing from their past haunting them. That's what I see, and appears to be the general vibe of the community, as far as I see it. --Alan (talk) 06:19, December 15, 2019 (UTC)
This process is becoming very frustrating. We assure you this is not a scam and have previously explained the unfortunate mistake in previous years. The current team for Paige Brooks is actively correcting that mistake. It seems that your website is the only place where that mistake is still appearing. We have invited you to email us directly at Info@PaigeBrooks.com or alternatively, please visit the website PaigeBrooks.com, click on the Contact link, and email directly from the official website. We assure you that any educational accomplishments have nothing to do with her acting career. If she had appeared as a Star Trek actress, she would most certainly be very proud to represent your community. Please be supportive and cooperative with this process. We cannot have inaccurate information anywhere online. I am sure you understand. Unfortunately, we do not understand the exact procedure for deleting this page, but will contact the support team, once again, for additional information on the process of deletion. Thank you for your support and understanding so we can keep your website accurate. Paige Brooks appreciates that you are a fan and we invite everyone to follow her career via her website and social media. She participates in many other exciting film and television roles, in addition to her fashion and pageantry careers, and enjoys sharing those journeys with her fans. Thank you all.

Netspiker, you, like Info19 are completely glossing over the facts. We were 100% certain (with documented proof) it was then, until they completely renigged their original statement. --Alan (talk) 19:10, December 16, 2019 (UTC)
- Yes, we were 100% sure, but we're not anymore. Info19's explanation that a member of Paige Brooks' team made a mistake is just as plausible as your theory that Paige Brooks is ashamed of her Star Trek role and is attempting to change history. If we do end up keeping the page, there should be a note on it and on the Bashir 62 holograms page that the identity of the actress is in dispute. --NetSpiker (talk) 00:51, December 17, 2019 (UTC)
