The result was   keep. Whilst he probably doesn't meet WP:ACTOR, there is clear opinion that he does meet the GNG, which is the most important criteria Ged  UK  11:52, 7 February 2011 (UTC)

Unreferenced, unsourced and very poorly written. The only link it has is to Bob's Burgers FOX page. Rusted AutoParts (talk) 14:08 21 January 2011 (UTC)

 * Comment I was going to opine a redirect to Bob's Burgers per WP:TOOSOON, as 1 episode of Late Night with Jimmy Fallon and 4 episodes (so far) of Bob's Burgers fails WP:ENT... but Bob's Burgers is receiving coverage, and this actor with it. And more.  I think we have a reasonable presumption that there will be additional and continued coverage.  Schmidt,  MICHAEL Q. 02:24, 22 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep. Notable per Bob's Burgers. A main character on a television show on Fox, doesn't seem deletable to me. &mdash; Timneu22 &middot; &#32; talk 02:45, 25 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Strong Keep Per Schmidt. Gage (talk) 08:20, 25 January 2011 (UTC)
 * It is getting some info now, but this is what it looked like when i nominated it. Rusted AutoParts (talk) 13:41 25 January 2011 (UTC)

 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.


 * Relisting comment. Another view or 2 on this would be helpful. --Ron Ritzman (talk) 01:14, 29 January 2011 (UTC)
 * delete easily fails WP:ARTIST. Can also re-write this stub when he wins the Academy Awards.  In contrast, John Roberts int e TV journalist is notable. Ryan White Jr. (talk) 08:17, 29 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep per my own comments above and further consideration. The individual has just enough available for multiple events to push at WP:GNG and for the stub to merit being kept and improved over time and through regular editing. And by the way... I just went and gave the article's author his courtesy notice of this discussion.  Schmidt,  MICHAEL Q. 22:53, 1 February 2011 (UTC)
 * Weak Keep. Per gng/RS refs (that could be added).--Epeefleche (talk) 09:09, 2 February 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete. Although he may have a significant role in one Fox show, the notability guidelines say that an actor must have "had significant roles in multiple notable films, television shows, stage performances, or other productions."  I do not think that applies to this actor. Logan Talk Contributions 00:56, 6 February 2011 (UTC)
 * Failing a SNG does not equate to failing the GNG, as SNG's are set to allow a presumption of notability through sources likely existing. If the multiple sources adduced here do not meet the GNG, then fine. But if they do meet the GNG, then we have the notability and an article that can be improved through regular editing.
