Han Sanming

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

It looks like this is a director's cousin who likes to make cameos with no real substantial roles. I don't this makes the person sufficiently notable. Delete. --Nlu (talk) 21:43, 4 December 2012 (UTC)

 * Comment I feel compelled to note that after initial nomination, I realized that he was the lead in one of the movies (but all of the other roles do appear to be cameos). But is that sufficiently notable?  I still find it questionable given the large number of movies turned out in China.  --Nlu (talk) 07:00, 7 December 2012 (UTC)

 * Keep. While I'm not sure that he strictly meets the "significant roles in multiple notable films" clause of WP:ENTERTAINER, good coverage in a number of English-language sources leads me to believe the he may have even more coverage in China or elsewhere. See coverage in CRIEnglish, a Guangdong news source (same article elsewhere?), a Czech source entitled "From miner to an international film star", and a book. Photos with captions suggest to me he is well known: Other reviews of Still Life discussing him: Boston Globe and the New Yorker. Location (talk) 06:49, 18 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete. Lead role in only one notable film, so does not pass WP:ENTERTAINER. 1292simon (talk) 12:14, 18 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep - Hold up friends. Leading role in a film Still Life (2006 film), that won the Lion d'Or (highest honor) at Venice film festival.--Nixie9 (talk) 02:30, 19 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Yes, I am aware of the awards won by the film. Since none of them are acting awards for the subject, the awards support notability of the film but not of this actor. 1292simon (talk) 09:39, 19 December 2012 (UTC)
 * It appears that Han Sanming did win Best Actor at the Valdivia International Film Festival. BTW, WP:ENTERTAINER does not specify that someone must have been the lead actor in one of more notable films; it only specifies that their role must be "significant". (The number of actors in Wikipedia would surely but cut in half if we required two lead roles.) In addition to a lead role in Still Life, we have a book reference stating that Han Sanming's role in Dong was "highly important". To me, that justifies recognition of a second "significant" role.
