The result was redirect to Joe Adonis. A keep argument of assuming there are sufficient sources for notability doesn't fly. -- RoySmith (talk) 20:48, 19 September 2017 (UTC)

Frank Adonis

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Non-notable film actor. IMDB does list him with 40 character roles, but I have not been able to find any RS about him. Most of his roles seem to be minor parts. Natg 19 (talk) 23:13, 18 August 2017 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Delete - no reliable sources and no notable roles. Jauerbackdude?/dude. 15:23, 21 August 2017 (UTC)
 * Keep - he played several great mafia roles in films for years and is a small legend in some circles (so many Italian restaurants have his picture up). And, although the kids of famous people aren't famous on their own, his dad is mafioso Joe Adonis! :-) Donmike10 (talk) 17:56, 21 August 2017 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Joe Adonis (article on his father which mentions him and his acting) unless more sources can be found. He doesn't obviously meet the requirements of WP:NACTOR (his roles appear to be all small cameos or walk-on roles, and although a cult actor may be notable regardless of the size of his roles, it still requires proof of cult status), so he would require more coverage either to meet WP:GNG or to demonstrate a significant cult following. --Colapeninsula (talk) 10:25, 22 August 2017 (UTC)

 * Keep Not my normal argument but I am actually assuming there are sufficient sources for notability here, although they are not available on the interwebs and are therefore hard to state. Certain aspects of this personage lend themselves to making incorrect assumptions about the likelihood of there being 'lots' of sources. I think the amount of sources is limited but sufficient. &Alpha; Guy into B&omicron;&omicron;ks &trade;  &sect; ( Message ) -  13:58, 10 September 2017 (UTC)
 * Why do you assume there are sources? A Google Books search throws up only passing mentions, mostly in cast lists or in parentheses in plot summaries. There are several books about Scorsese but no evidence that they discuss Adonis. Film reviews sometimes mention bit-part players, but normally focus on the main actors. WP:ACTOR should provide guidance on notability even when sources are hard to find, and it's not clear he meets its requirements. --Colapeninsula (talk) 14:25, 11 September 2017 (UTC)


 * Redirect to fis father's article. L3X1 (distænt write)  16:06, 19 September 2017 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Joe Adonis. Searches did not turn up anything to indicate standalone notability.  Onel 5969  TT me 20:43, 19 September 2017 (UTC)
