Eric Dysart

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Apparent autobiography by an aspiring actor, but unfortunately, there is no in-depth third-party coverage, and all of the "sources" provided are from user-submitted sites like IMDb. Notability has not been demonstrated. DAJF (talk) 23:40, 23 February 2014 (UTC)


 * Please help! I don't understand why the critique calls Eric DySart an "aspiring actor" when he has multiple credits in multiple media (stage, film, TV) to his name.  I also don't understand why the filmography on IMDB (http://www.imdb.com/character/ch0073498/?ref_=nm_flmg_act_2) is not considered a credible source, though there are also references to other sources (Broadway World, Playbill.com) that further establish Eric DySart's presence as an established actor.  Moreover, I don't understand why someone who is an actor in the original production of HAIRSPRAY on Broadway is also not considered "notable" enough.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Akmandel (talk • contribs) 00:05, 24 February 2014 (UTC)

 * Keep. Meets wp:NACTOR: "Has had significant roles in multiple notable films, television shows, stage performances, or other productions". -- do  ncr  am  11:54, 24 February 2014 (UTC)
 * what exactly are the "significant roles"? -- TRPoD aka The Red Pen of Doom  13:12, 24 February 2014 (UTC)
 * Well, performing as Troilus in Troilus and Cressida and other roles are significant roles. But i see that those were at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Arts, which I didn't evaluate.  Maybe because that turns out to be a training academy, those were roles in productions that aren't notable, I am not sure how this works. -- do  ncr  am  22:43, 26 February 2014 (UTC)


 * Delete Doesn't meet NACTOR. Neither he nor his character in Hairspray is mentioned in the article. He's also only a replacement in A Chorus Line. The IMDb film credits don't seem significant either. Plus I don't see any media coverage. Clarityfiend (talk) 12:45, 24 February 2014 (UTC)
