Fails to meet WP:BLP, WP:N, WP:V, WP:ENT. Previously tagged with speedy deletion, but an admin said the BLP article itself claims its notability regardless of the unsourced status quo, so I instead take the matter to the venue. No news can be found on the subject. The only thing I can find his notability is an IMDb entry, but which is not a reliable source. Caspian blue 21:11, 6 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete, no outside sources except IMDB, and his single role (in a defunct soap) does not make him notable. I have a bit of a problem, however, with the way this article was treated. After speedy deletion was declined, an editor went through the article and stripped out almost all of its content, leaving only a single sentence. I know that editing is permitted during deletion discussion, but this almost amounted to blanking the page. --MelanieN (talk) 22:05, 6 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Comment: Yes. If you look at the removed information, you will see that some of it is biased, and some of it makes some controversial claims about the subject. Since all of it was unsourced, I removed it per WP:BLP. This should not affect the outcome of the deletion discussion. After all, the subject's notability should be evaluated based on his acting career and whether significant coverage exists in reliable sources, not on unsourced contentious claims. Note that the removal happened before the article was nominated for deletion. decltype (talk) 00:21, 7 February 2010 (UTC)

 * Delete The IMDB data is relevant and reliable, but it is not nontrivial coverage pr. WP:N. Taemyr (talk) 17:03, 7 February 2010 (UTC)
 * IMDb data is relevant, but unreliable since it can be edited by anybody. I've also seen many incorrect info from the website.--Caspian blue 17:29, 7 February 2010 (UTC)
 * While anyone can submit information that information is vetted by paid staff, and as such does pass our bar for fact checking required for a reliable source. Taemyr (talk) 08:55, 9 February 2010 (UTC)
 * No, I've been working on film related articles, but IMDB is never considered a reliable source by the WP:WikiProject Film. Linking the entry as an external link would be useful though.--Caspian blue 09:19, 9 February 2010 (UTC)


 * Delete. Fails WP:ENT. A voice role in a soap opera isn't notable. Being in 75 episodes might sound like a recurring role until you consider that there were 414 episodes. Niteshift36 (talk) 18:50, 8 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete. Does not meet any of the three notability criteria of WP:ENT.  Wikipeterproject (talk) 21:11, 10 February 2010 (UTC)
