 * Comment: I see a lot of database-type websites mentioning the actor but no significant coverage. Even this with the headline "These famous people were all born in Saginaw" has the actor in an afterthought-type list after the famous people. Erik (talk &#124; contrib) (ping me) 18:33, 25 April 2020 (UTC)
 * Actually, I just found this from New Zealand Herald that provides significant coverage. Erik (talk &#124; contrib) (ping me) 18:48, 25 April 2020 (UTC)
 * He's worked mostly in New Zealand. Would someone add him to the New Zealand deletion sorting list? DiamondRemley39 (talk) 19:21, 25 April 2020 (UTC)
 * Weak keep I'm seeing enough hits in Global Newsstream to indicate he is notable--just more known in New Zealand than elsewhere. Erik's find provides some significant coverage. DiamondRemley39 (talk) 19:32, 25 April 2020 (UTC)

 * Keep as has reliable sources coverage in New Zealand sources and also has some prominent film and television roles for WP:NACTOR, imv Atlantic306 (talk) 21:49, 26 April 2020 (UTC)
 * Comment I was the one who deprodded. My edit summary (in response to the PROD) was: "Not convinced of that; please send to AfD instead". That is an entirely acceptable action to take in response to a PROD and it might pay to have a read of WP:DEPROD, where it states: "Explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion, either in the edit summary or on the talk page." Going by the !votes thus far, it seems that I am not alone in thinking that this is at least a borderline case, and AfD is therefore the correct venue to get community input. Your snarky nomination statement is uncalled for and going forward, I suggest you moderate your language when interacting with, or talking about, other editors.

 * Schwede I apologise if that’s how you feel it came across, certainly not my intention. At the time of AfD there were certainly no new sources that I could find and my brief summary tried to reflect that. Cardiffbear88 (talk) 04:17, 27 April 2020 (UTC)
 * Apology accepted.  Schwede 66  04:24, 27 April 2020 (UTC)
 * Keep: The subject's significant roles in The Matrix and The Marine meet the WP:NACTOR threshold, and the significant coverage identified here, in conjunction with the sources currently provided in the article, satisfies WP:GNG, too.
