Derek Mears

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

Minor actor and stunt man. Only one named role, of a silent serial killer. CalendarWatcher (talk) 05:15, 19 February 2009 (UTC) 
 * Delete - Not enough to establish notability. If he had played the masked baddie in a few more films or was something of a F. Kruger then sure, but this is borderline at best. Add a blurb to the film page. § FreeRangeFrog 19:28, 19 February 2009 (UTC)

 * Delete Per WP:BIO and WP:N Letsdrinktea (talk) 00:17, 24 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep- Unless somehow playing the "silent serial killer" named Jason Voorhees isn't an indicator of notability. Umbralcorax (talk) 00:48, 24 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep. Jason Voorhees is an iconic horror character and and anyone playing him. The current referencing isn't too extensive, but it does fulfill the absolute minimum requirement of multiple references. He is covered in a newspaper and by a notable website. - Mgm|(talk) 10:18, 24 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Strong Keep - This actor has 31 acting credits, and another 14 credits as a stunt man listed at IMDB.com. The fact that the actor is credited with several roles in notable productions is what is required to establish notability per WP:ENTERTAINER. See the current helpful discussion at Sonia Darrin Esasus (talk) 03:39, 26 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Weak Delete. Still hasn't had a major speaking role in a movie, and unlike, say, Peter Mayhew, doesn't have significant independent coverage to satisfy WP:BIO.  Being one of several actors to play Jason Voorhees is not notable, especially when the movie in question is the remake that has yet to show itself anywhere nearly as iconic as the original.
