This article does not meet Wikipedia's notability requirements for actors WP:NACTOR. This actor has not had significant roles in multiple notable films, television shows, stage performances, or other productions. (Simply uttering one or two lines;having a very small role in a few productions does not mean the actor is noteworthy). This actors does not have a large or significant fan base or "cult" following. This actor has not made any unique, prolific or innovative contributions to a field of entertainment. There are no external sources, such as newspaper or magazine articles that have given this actor any coverage. --Alaindrouin (talk) 16:56, 25 May 2016 (UTC) Edit --Alaindrouin (talk) 17:39, 25 May 2016 (UTC)

Delete Despite the article existing for a while, there are no secondary sources to back up the actor's notability. Aside from the IMDB and self-promotional Fountainhead link, no information to speak of. Fails WP:NACTOR. If any entertainer who has appeared in films with actual notable people deserves their own article then we just might as well have an article for every non-extra performer regardless of his/her prominence.

 * Delete as there's a list of works, but nothing at all here actually suggesting any solid independent notability for an article. SwisterTwister   talk  07:24, 2 June 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete. He's been around for long enough that I expected to be able to locate more solid sourcing than this, but I came up dry even in deep database searches on ProQuest and Le Devoir — and nothing here is enough to give him a presumption to passing WP:NACTOR in the absence of enough sourcing to show it. (I'd grant him the benefit of the doubt if he'd played Maurice Duplessis in Duplessis, for example, but not if he just played Oscar Drouin.) And even on fr, where I'd expect editors to have access to a much deeper range of francophone media databases than I've got, their article isn't actually sourced any better than this either. No prejudice against recreation in the future if somebody actually can locate the depth of referencing necessary to get him over the bar, but nothing claimed or sourced here is enough as things stand today.
