 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

Contested prod. Child actor with a rather weak assertion of notability, aside from a seemingly dubious claim that he guest-starred on Saturday Night Live. Delete.  Blanchardb - Me•MyEars•MyMouth - timed 00:16, 15 July 2009 (UTC)
 * This AfD nomination was incomplete (missing step 3). It is listed now. DumbBOT (talk) 13:00, 15 July 2009 (UTC)

 * Delete. I was unable to source the SNL claim yesterday (only sources trace back directly to the subject), which was a little surprising to me since I thought I'd find at least a tv guide type listing. I decided to sleep on whether to AfD or not, and Blanchardb beat me to it. :) -- Fabrictramp |  talk to me  15:39, 15 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so consensus may be reached.


 * Keep - This article is a trip down memory lane. Being a regular host on Nick's Don't Just Sit There makes him notable even if nothing else does. Once notable, always notable. Memories may fade, but notability (according to wiki policy) does not expire with time.

 * Being a regular host would only make him notable if there was substantial coverage in independent, reliable sources. Any chance you could hunt down those sources? A google search for "Don't Just Sit There" + Schaffer comes up with sources that trace back to him, a couple of blogs, and an IMDb entry that doesn't even say how many times he was on the show. Perhaps you'll be better at finding sources than I was. Thanks!-- Fabrictramp |  talk to me  23:52, 28 July 2009 (UTC)

 * Delete. I looked at his essay, and it describes his SNL experience as a single skit, not as having been a guest star. Given that and the complete lack of third-party sources, I just don't see how he meets any of the criteria. Dori ❦ (Talk ❖ Contribs ❖ Review) ❦ 02:36, 29 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete No reliable source coverage to show notability; an article can only be written with primary sources, if kept.- SpacemanSpiff Calvin&#8225;Hobbes 05:22, 29 July 2009 (UTC)
