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

Unremarkable minor actor. No feature roles in movie or television. Google news search finds passing mention (cast list) in a few theatre reviews. Delicious carbuncle (talk) 10:01, 11 October 2008 (UTC)

 * Comment AFD was blanked and replaced with "To call someone an unremarkable actor sounds like defamation of character. Please remove these words and this entry. It's malicious." by article creator . I'll leave a note on their talk page. Delicious carbuncle (talk) 15:31, 11 October 2008 (UTC)

 * Delete, a longer than usual listing of roles on IMDB, but as far as I can see they are all minor bit parts and the like. I strongly doubt that he meets the WP:ENTERTAINER notability guideline.  Lankiveil (speak to me) 05:43, 12 October 2008 (UTC).
 * Delete can't find anything more than passing mentions in sources (with the possible exception of this, but it still doesn't provide more than a sentence discussing the him). Hut 8.5 09:59, 12 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete for non-notability. And, for what it's worth, the article creator has been indef blocked for making legal threats over this, and also has some serious COI problems.  AK Radecki Speaketh  00:38, 13 October 2008 (UTC)
 * While the creator was blocked, they have been unblocked, but based on comments on my talk page I doubt they will be returning to Wikipedia. In any case, that shouldn't be a factor in whether or not to keep or delete this article. Delicious carbuncle (talk) 16:13, 13 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete; article is completely unsourced, appears to have been authored by the subject's publicist, manager, or agent, and other than a list of minor roles on IMDB, is unverifiable by reference to mainstream reliable sources. The only things I see are personal web pages or social/networking sites like Plaxo or Classmates. --MCB (talk) 05:41, 13 October 2008 (UTC)
