List of actors who have played characters from the American South

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

WP:NOT of loosely associated subjects. Some actors who happen to have played someone from a particular region at some points on their careers. Most successful actors play dozens of roles in their careers, having a southern accent in one of those roles isn't a defining characteristic of the actors, or their careers (with a couple of obvious exceptions, though not enough to base a list on). At most we could have a category called Fictional characters from the American South for the characters that have articles. Masaruemoto 03:12, 31 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete for the same reasons as other similar lists for such character types as Nazis. Actors play characters of any number of types. Otto4711 03:58, 31 July 2007 (UTC)

 * Rename, and trim- mostly because the original name of this article was "Famous Southern American English performances" (a counterpart to Famous Cockney performances") and focused on archetypal Southern characters in cinema (not the actors). Then some drive-by name changer took the article in the wrong direction.--Esprit15d 12:23, 31 July 2007 (UTC)

 * Delete per nom. Also, if it maintains its purposes of listing "performances...notable in that they are often considered the standard for Southern archetypes or stereotypes within and outside of the United States," it seems at great risk of original research because it would be difficult to verify. --Moonriddengirl 13:41, 31 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete Everyone can pretend to be British (and in Britain, everyone can pretend to be American). Not a significant achievement, even by Vivien Leigh.  Ah do declare, this sho' is a right nice list, it sho' is, it sho' is, shame to lose it, well, let's go to the house.  Don't run off.  Yassuh, it's reverse psychology, but don't run off.

 * Delete not a meaningful list, not encyclopedic, and probably not maintainable. Carlossuarez46 21:46, 2 August 2007 (UTC)
