I do not understand why this article would be considered for deletion. I removed the links to disambiguation pages (sincerely sorry about that). The bulk of new contributions to the content came directly from in-person interviews with the actor Mr. Edward Penn in Illinois between 2013 to 2014. Please advise if that particular insight needs to be included in the wiki page. Thank you. -DGP
 * I suggest you start with reading Guidelines for reliable sources. Usually Wikipedia requires third party, reliable, prior published sources. First hand sources (i.e. the actor himself) are rarely accepted as sources to prove notability. Social media are also seldom accepted as source for establishing notability. And last: articles about living persons MUST be sourced, external links are not sources. The Banner talk 19:55, 3 October 2014 (UTC)

 * Delete The article itself says his principal notability is appearance in one episode of Seinfeld. That's not enough.  DGG ( talk ) 18:11, 20 October 2014 (UTC)

 * delete or userfy If someone is willing to take this in hand (I'm thinking of User:DGPatt) work on this further, it may pass muster. Penn does appear in a number of TV shows over the years, so there may be material about him in the TV press. On the other hand, he could turn out to be just another actor with a number of small roles. From the article, it isn't possible to tell which it is. I suspect, however, that it will take some concerted effort to find reliable sources. LaMona (talk) 11:09, 22 October 2014 (UTC)
