Ian Liston

Does not meet WP:GNG. Author has turned this page into a hugely promotional piece based on no references or evidence of notability beyond the subject's own website and imdb page, neither of which is considered evidence of notability. ubiquity (talk) 14:38, 4 September 2015 (UTC)

 * Delete This page was created on 25 August 2015; however, searching for coverage provides only very brief mentions, like most of his roles. An example is Ian Liston (born 4th August, 1948) briefly played Danny Burrows in Coronation Street during 1974. or this one-liner from a extensive review of the stage play The Dame of Sark in The Glasgow Herald of 23 July 1975: Two more Germans of very different types are Nicholas as the suspicious and correct officer, and Ian Liston, as a pathetically young rookie only too eager to display his family photographs. The Star Wars interview was interesting, but nothing more. The character was what the fans sought out, not the actor. Fails WP:ENT, fails WP:GNG. (By the way, not the lawyer "Ian R. Liston".) --Bejnar (talk) 16:28, 17 September 2015 (UTC)

 * Delete as IMDb basically summarizes it to a non-notable actor with no break through or otherwise outstanding work (no awards as well) and my search results at Books and highbeam were not convincingly good. SwisterTwister   talk  05:51, 23 September 2015 (UTC)
