Doesn't appear to pass WP:GNG or WP:NACTOR. While the links in the article show he exists, none are the type of in-depth coverage needed to pass notability requirements. Dori ☾Talk ⁘ Contribs☽ 04:25, 20 February 2012 (UTC)

 * Delete: No significant coverage and minimal roles (except, maybe, for the voice of a supporting character in the videogame Heavy Rain). He directed and starred in a trilogy of shorts, but I found no secondary coverage about them. Cavarrone (talk) 03:09, 21 February 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete Only passing mentions and listings: no substantial coverage anywhere, so far as I can see. JamesBWatson (talk) 02:23, 22 February 2012 (UTC)

 * Keep Delete Difficult to say as I am not motivated to improve the article but I did find bits and bobs about him and a lot covering his work with minimal search. Seems to be quite reknowned in the festival circuit. More importantly to this discussion I feel is that he has steadily gained speed over the years, he is not a one-night wonder by any stretch of the imagination. I don't think we should base deletion on the article having virtually no content, with small effort it can become encyclopedic. He's appeared in numerous TV commercials, theater, BBC 4 radio, he sings, he dances, he models, has done a long list of voice work, he has a BA from Manchester U. in addition to having a Masters from Paris U. He's attended seven or eight other semi-famous theater oriented schools. There's definitely enough to make a decent article with credible citations. His CV is quite extensive.

 * Comments The appears to be a page on his agent's site—is that correct? If so, it's not a independent secondary source, which means it's not usable as a reference. Additionally, where someone went to school or trained rarely counts towards notability. If there are no verifiable and reliable independent secondary sources, then there's nothing to use as a basis of an article. Dori ☾Talk ⁘ Contribs☽ 23:15, 23 February 2012 (UTC)
 * You are absolutely correct and thanks for alerting me to the error of my ways :) I removed it to the further reading section. I said I was not motivated to improve the article but found myself turning over a few stones anyway. I stand corrected, there's not much personal info past the bits and bobs I found. I only mentioned his degrees in support that he's got something going on in his head, appears to be pursuing his brass ring properly and may have potential, not to suggest that his degrees alone are cause not to delete. Given the lack of info out there, I change my vote. Ken Tholke (talk) 02:25, 24 February 2012 (UTC)
 * His thesis on the Queer mouvement [] likewise all his experimental films are related to his universisty research on the Queer mouvement — Preceding unsigned comment added by 88.166.13.98 (talk) 07:24, 24 February 2012 (UTC)
 * I sometimes have to wonder if I even belong here at Wiki. By that I mean that I read Wiki policies, agree with every one of them, then often find myself disagreeing with other editors as to their interpretation. Many policies as they are written have the inclusion that they need not be followed rigidly in all cases, editors are encouraged to use common sense. His CV that is listed with Cindy Brace should in my opinion be acceptable as a reference as it states only his accomplishments without any descriptive language in promotion of them. While Cindy Brace has a vested interest in promoting their/her client, there's also an interest in avoiding suit for misrepresentation. Were there any descriptive, promotional language placed into the CV, I'd whole-heartedly agree it may not be trustworthy. It is because there was no promotional language that bells and sirens didn't go off in my head as to where the CV was coming from. As it stands, common sense tells me this CV is trustworthy, despite the fact it comes from his agent's website.


 * I cited his being British, being an actor and being a director. His Facebook page is private but his Youtube channel lists London, England as his hometown and France as being his location. I messaged him on FB as to where I might find some personal info, no response (yet). I dropped that citation in with the sole purpose of giving anyone who has the drive to make improvements to the article some possible leads to follow up on, as I feel Antony Hickling falls into the crack. Steven Spielberg? Absolutely not. Tom Cruise? Absolutely not. But by far at first glance, he appears to have more bona fide, easily verifiable accomplishments and more potential than others that have survived the deletion process here. I don't feel this one is another trivial database entry as others are. I could be wrong but my gutt says he's not. My vote remains unchanged, I still say to delete in abscence of personal information from reliable sources (the CV doesn't give enough). The article can easily be re-written later on down the road if and when some surfaces. Ken Tholke (talk) 12:57, 24 February 2012 (UTC)
