Does not meet WP:NACTOR. A handful of minor roles. No significant coverage to merit WP:GNG. Is a WP:BLP and I suspect a WP:COI. Barney the barney barney (talk) 10:56, 13 May 2014 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.
 * Delete A film and television extra with a minor part in Star Wars fandom. He doesn't have any significant coverage in reliable sources, just mentions on Star Wars websites and forums and merchandise sites. Colapeninsula (talk) 14:27, 1 May 2015 (UTC)

 * Delete or userfy. This guy has an impressive pedigree and to be honest, I kind of wish that there'd been coverage of him out there somewhere. That he'd be an uncredited extra in so many popular films and shows is pretty interesting, so I imagine that he'd have some fun stories to tell. Unfortunately that just hasn't been the case here and none of his roles have ever been major enough to where he would attract notice. Sometimes people who routinely play as an extra will gain coverage enough to where they'd warrant an article, but this just doesn't seem to be one of those times. It's really, really unfortunate but Wikipedia just can't make up the difference when there's no coverage. He's not even really that big of a person in the film about the SW extras since I can't find anything out there about his specific role in this upcoming film. I have no problem with anyone wanting to userfy the data in case any sources do emerge, although I will admit that it's probably going to take some serious letter writing campaigns to get any of the mainstream media outlets to notice and write about him.
