reverted prod on an unsourced BLP. The externs on offer are not reliable sources. Jack Merridew 07:14, 24 January 2010 (UTC)

 * Delete Per WP:HEY, either source or delete. Hipocrite (talk) 10:26, 24 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete. No coverage found from Google, Google News or Google Books. Simply working as an actor isn't enough for notability.--Michig (talk) 13:58, 24 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete: I can't find significant coverage for this actor. Joe Chill (talk) 21:36, 24 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete, per nom and the above comments. Unit  Anode  00:18, 25 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Weak keep per WP:BARE; he's had several recurring roles on TV shows, which I think allows him to pass WP:GNG. I removed the ProD to get a broader range of opinions.  I'll try to source it, but I can't make much of an effort here, as I'm working on three or four others. Bearian (talk) 00:59, 25 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Weak delete - can find no significant coverage in reliable sources to demonstrate that he meets notability guidelines. I'm not sure that he quite meets WP:ENT for "significant roles in multiple notable ... television shows" (30 episodes of Viva Piñata (TV series) - this appears to be a significant role. 10 episodes of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (2003 TV series) - not sure this is a significant role since neither he nor the character are mentioned in the article.) Regardless, serious lack of good sources is pointing me to delete.-- Beloved Freak  01:12, 25 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete since it is an unreferenced BLP for which we have tried to find reliable sources and failed. Also, I don't think his credits are all that notable.  Them  From  Space  04:56, 25 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete. This is virtually an unref'd BLP article, and IMDb cannot be used as a reliable biographical source.  JBsupreme (talk) 20:55, 25 January 2010 (UTC)
 * A review in the New York Post mentions him: "The best of the singer-actors is scrawny, dynamic Brian Maillard..." referring to his role in the production of a musical called Summer '69: The Musical Happening. (July 28, 1999; page 76). That on its own is not enough to keep this article.  Paul Erik  (talk) (contribs) 04:41, 26 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Weak Keep. Here's his Saturday Night Live audition tape on Funny or Die.  Only 22% of people say he's funny.  I don't know if we delete people for not being funny, but I'm sure WP:FUNNY gives some guidance. Edward Vielmetti (talk) 07:34, 26 January 2010 (UTC)
