{{AFC comment|1=M4V3R1CK32's comment holds. I don't think you'll get anywhere with this one, sorry - she's only been acting since the pandemic, and not in really major roles, so I don't think you're likely to find more coverage than this (yet).

{{AFC comment|1=I've reviewed this pretty closely and reviewed it against the guidelines for [[WP:BIO|people generally]] and [[WP:ENT|entertainers specifically]] and I cannot decide if it meets the guidelines.
Starting with guidelines for entertainers, yes, technically Norberg had roles in three notable films/short films. However, it's not clear a) the extent of those roles (were they significant, as the guideline states, or were they bit roles?) b) if short films merit the same level of consideration as feature-length films (apologies if this discussion has already been held, I have not found it if so, films are not my area of expertise on Wikipedia), and c) if these "notable" films actually deserve that title.
The ''[[A Family Affair]]'' article is completely unsourced. The current content of the stub would not meet [[WP:NFILM]] even if it had sources.
''[[We All Die Alone]]'' may or may not meet the release guidelines. Yes, it was played around a festival circuit, but I don't know if that counts as "widely distributed" or not, or if that circuit is notable enough. The article also only lists one review from Film Threat, which may or may not be the kind of "nationally known reviewer" the guideline was intended to require. It would be great if another editor from WP:FILM or WP:ACTOR could chime in on those points.
''[[Adalynn]]'' was released straight to VOD and can be bought or rented, but not streamed. Here again, I don't know if this counts as "wide distribution". Technically anyone with an Internet connection could get it on Amazon, so maybe? But does that mean every 10 minute video on YouTube has wide distribution? I'd love another thought from a more experienced film WikiProject editor.   
Descriptions of Norberg as being an "ensemble" cast member rather than a lead in ''Adalynn'' and ''We All Die Alone'' also make me question the significance of her roles in those films. And of course, two episodes in SVU is a bit role and not significant.
Moving to guidelines for people, there's only one example of [[WP:SIGCOV]] of Norberg listed, the ''Lake County Journal'' (listed as Shaw Local) article. The others are film reviews that mention her only in passing or are primary sources. Her Rotten Tomatoes profile is pretty barren too.
So this draft might not meet WP:ENT and definitely doesn't meet WP:BIO. If this was a draft for anyone not an entertainer, I would decline it instead of puzzling over pages of policy trying to find a way to accept it. My gut says to decline it but I'd love to build a little more consensus. [[User:M4V3R1CK32|M4V3R1CK32]] ([[User talk:M4V3R1CK32|talk]]) 21:48, 18 July 2023 (UTC)}}
