 * Keep passes WP:NACTOR prominent role in 43 episodes of Viper, also films such as Ghoulies 2 Atlantic306 (talk) 15:28, 12 April 2016 (UTC)
 * Keep - WP:NACTOR. Poor article quality does not negate notability. DaltonCastle (talk) 01:43, 15 April 2016 (UTC)


 * NOTE: despite @DaltonCastle's assertion, I did not refer this article for deletion discussion due to "Poor article quality", although that is certainly the case. That I can fix. I also dispute @Atlantic306's claim that the actor is prominent in any way, particularly for having appeared in "43 episodes of Viper, also films such as Ghoulies 2", which is a sad commentary on what, for some, constitutes notability these days. @Atlantic306 has a history of voting to keep almost any crappy and/or ridiculous article no matter how trivial and thus degrading to Wikipedia's reputation as the premier online encyclopaedia, which becomes tiresome. (See, , , ), just for starters.) And please don't bother rebuking or chastising me or reminding me about AGF and IAR. I am all too aware but some things need to be said.

 * In reply, you are acting as a snob critic. Its bad enough for the creators of the article to be brought to AFD without being belittled as wholly unnotable, or crappy article, and if you think your comments will stop me opposing unnecessary deletions you're mistaken.

 * Delete at best as there's nothing suggesting the necessary improvements for a better notable article. SwisterTwister   talk  04:49, 20 April 2016 (UTC)
 * Yeah, right, "unnecessary deletions",@Atlantic306: that's why you are the sole keep vote for Chiara Bellati and Pension Volkmann, while Sonu Lal was speedily deleted already. Quis separabit?  04:53, 20 April 2016 (UTC)

 * Weak keep. First, as the article was created in 2006, being an unsourced blp doesn't apply. However, he does appear to pass WP:NACTOR, his recurring main role in a TV series, Viper, plus significant roles in two films Ghoulies II, and Robot Wars. The rest of his career reveals that he is a working actor, and he works consistently, but his roles are certainly up and down, from bit parts to significant roles in episodic tv, even significant roles in non-notable films like C'mon Man. While NACTOR only states that they may be notable, I think those 3 significant roles in notable films (regardless of how crappy you think those films are), along with his body of work squeaks him over the level required to meet notability criteria.
