He's only appeared in one film, so unless he's Peter Ostrum, this article falls under WP:ONEEVENT. Hitcher vs. Candyman (talk) 04:06, 4 September 2017 (UTC)

 * Delete role is not significant enough to overcome the general requirement of multiple significant roles.John Pack Lambert (talk) 15:48, 4 September 2017 (UTC)
 * Keep - Poulter has been significantly covered in a several sources: He has received non-trivial international coverage in many other sources: . The subject easily meets WP:BASIC and WP:GNG. I don't believe it fails the exclusionary criteria of WP:ONEEVENT because a significant role in a movie is not really a single event. Also, the subject has been covered for his role in the film as well as his indigent lifestyle.- MrX 18:39, 6 September 2017 (UTC)
 * Keep -I have improved on the article, although it could still be fleshed out . But what is already there and the U.S. and international coverage of the film, is significant. A homeless man recruited from the streets for a full-length film playing a memorable role is notable. Passes WP:GNG. -AuthorAuthor (talk) 02:05, 7 September 2017 (UTC) Additional comment: I have since found an award by the Austin Film Critics Association given posthumously to the subject that further adds to his notability. -AuthorAuthor (talk) 04:51, 7 September 2017 (UTC)
