I believe this actor is non-notable and doesn't meet WP:NACTOR standards. His primary claim to fame is a role in Lost Boys but he didn't have a sustained career and doesn't meet WP:GNG. Liz Read! Talk! 22:34, 22 December 2015 (UTC) Keep. AAT Deficiency (his cause of death) desperately needs more awareness. 100,000 Americans have it, but only 10,000 have been diagnosed. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 184.59.13.231 (talk) 23:03, 23 December 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete I agree. He did not do much. I could see if he was in a major TV show for a long time. With not many credits to his name, I don't think this article should be included. - Kiraroshi1976 (talk) 22:40, 22 December 2015 (UTC)
 * Keep Disagree. Yes, his best known role was in The Lost Boys (for which he still has a cult following), but he did some more work in film as a producer, composer and manager of Corey Haim. JAEVI (talk) 10:27, 23 December 2015 (UTC)
 * Even if all he did was have a part in this movie that would be enough. What exactly is the problem with him having a wikipedia page?--Dr who1975 (talk) 14:58, 23 December 2015 (UTC)
 * Strong Keep When notice of one's passing is widely covered as headline news in notable, reliable sources as diverse as: Time Magazine, the BBC, US Weekly, People Magazine, the U.K.'s Daily Mail, USA Today, TMZ, TV Guide, Variety, the Huffington Post, CBS, Yahoo News, the Boston Herald, the Business Standard and even the National Enquirer among many others, then it really begs the question of why this person's notability is even an issue. His cult following is more than well documented. Whether it comes from 1 film or a dozen doesn't matter. The subject easily meets WP:NRV and in this case, especially WP:NEXIST. As a result, certainly WP:NACTOR as well. X4n6 (talk) 13:54, 23 December 2015 (UTC)
 * Also May I also recommend, that the editor putting this article up for deletion, might want to review the very first sentence of WP:GNG. The post-mortems on this subject couldn't provide a more textbook illustration of that sentence. X4n6 (talk) 22:47, 23 December 2015 (UTC)
 * Keep The internet and wikipedia is a large and wide place with plenty of room for this mildly notable person. Mild notability is still notability. I really wish the people on wikipedia would get the sticks out of their butts and re-examine their ideas of what notability is. It's not like we're printng a phone book of notable people with limited space. What exactly are you concerned about? Space on the wikipedia servers?--Dr who1975 (talk) 14:57, 23 December 2015 (UTC)
 * I just wead WP:NACTOR... holy crap did YOU GUYS read it? This person's death alone has significant media coverage to meet the notability criteria... here's 3 articles...

 * Strong Keep Per above. Certainly notable as the coverage of his passing in reliable sources shows.   Harry    Let us have speaksundefined 15:01, 23 December 2015 (UTC)

 * Keep Seems fairly notable to me. His death was reported by BBC News and others. This is Paul (talk) 23:52, 23 December 2015 (UTC)
 * Keep, but some coverage from when he was alive would help. Everyone's at least a bit more famous right after they die. Right now, the article gives the impression that Wikipedia either just heard about or just remembered him. InedibleHulk (talk) 20:30, 25 December 2015 (UTC)
 * Keep, per X4n6, with multiple obituaries in reliable sources, easily passes WP:GNG. Edwardx (talk) 13:25, 27 December 2015 (UTC)
