 * Weak Keep: I do agree this article is mostly copied and pasted from another website, due to the large amount of external links, unreliable references to the IMDB and the fact that his filmography is typed in capital letters only. Though, this actor is notable and is the sole reason this article should be kept. I will try to get the article in question this up to wikipedia standards.

Note: Sorry. If the original entry for James J. Thomas wasn't inputted correctly to Wiki standards, that's my fault (as the interface can be incredibly challenging for some and the guidelines stringent). I do, however, completely appreciate the goal and relevance of said guidelines. However, I cannot imagine whether I put the term 'Filmography' in capital letters or not - should reflect James Thomas's validity. He is a working actor, has starred in a number of films and tv shows and as a friend - and I was only trying to help. As poorly inputted as someone may have found my submission to be, it was only because I didn't know the appropriate format (I still can't, for example, figure out how to add his photo). I also appreciate the work someone did assisting in cleaning the page up btw. I was only trying to help him out and would sincerely appreciate if someone did similar here for me. Sorry about this and I'll read through documentation to try and figure out how to better adhere to the wiki standards. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Goodbuzz (talk • contribs)  Please add new comments below this notice.

 * Relisting comment. I was going to punch this "no consensus" but someone removed the AFD tag from the article. I restored it. --Ron Ritzman (talk) 01:39, 9 February 2011 (UTC)
