insufficient evidence for notability.  DGG ( talk ) 21:10, 10 September 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete. Notability is not inherited, and Moore seems to have very little of his own – I wasn't able to find any mention in any reliable source other than Variety (there is a bit in the Daily Fail, but we've agreed that that is not RS). Searching without the middle initial gives a lot of hits for Geoffrey Moore, none that I could see for this chap. Disclosure/note: the article was longer, but not – I believe – better, before I edited it. Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 23:45, 10 September 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete no reason to have this article: clearly not notable on his own. Father is revebtlu enough deceased that I'd feel uncomfortable redirecting per my standard objection of the privacy issues behind directing biographies to one another, and privacy being the default position under BLP policy. A redirect serves no purpose for the reader so delete this. TonyBallioni (talk) 00:02, 11 September 2017 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Roger Moore (which could have been done without taking this to AfD). Probably just fails WP:NACTOR: his film roles in Fit to Kill, Hard Hunted and Fire, Ice and Dynamite are more than bit parts, but none of the films is very notable, and there's nothing to indicate his performances received any critical attention. Maybe he got press coverage somewhere in the 1980s and 1990s, maybe he didn't. His other major work is appearing in and being a producer of And The Winner Isn't, a film which according to IMDb is still being filmed and thus coverage may be premature. If referenced material can be found to meet WP:GNG then I'll be willing to change my mind (it's possible coverage exists but some of the difficulties of searching for it have already been mentioned; his early films were credited to RJ Moore, not Geoffrey.) --Colapeninsula (talk) 14:14, 11 September 2017 (UTC)
 * The old standard practice of redirecting non-notable people to their parents, siblings, etc. isn't the standard practice anymore. AfDs probably go about 50/50 when it is brought up, which is why an AfD makes sense to sort out what is the best thing to do. There are several questions to consider here, one of which being whether or not the redirect actually helps the reader: I say no. Two sentences in a biography of his father is not what they are looking for, and even if redirected to the section will likely cause more confusion than it will actually help them. There are also the valid privacy concerns about Geoffrey more being a distinct person from his father, and it making little since to redirect one biography to another. This isn't the worse case of it because one of the people is dead, but it was a recent death and the one being redirected is living. That's still a bad practice in my mind, and since the BLP policy sets the standard of presumption of privacy as the default position for naming in the article, I think it makes equal sense to be the default position for a name to send you to an article, and that the standard should actually be higher here. There is no strong reason to redirect, so the most conservative option under the BLP policy is deletion. Since there's nothing in the history worth saving, it does us no harm.
