This article is about someone who appears to be a rather minor actor and is filled with disinformation. His most notable claim to fame is as a director of the film "Highlander II: The Unholy Alliance" and that he made a cameo in Highlander: The Series as a cavalry captain. In reality all he did was appear in Highlander: The Series as a cavalry captain in the episode "The Unholy Alliance, pt 2". Perhaps he is more notable than I thought and he does have several French language credits, but since I don't speak French I cannot attest to how notable any of them are.

 * you're objections seem srreasonable however it must be oipointed out that i am working with a french person to triy and discern the notablity of his french films and to correct any appearnaces. My sources are difficult to interpret sinc eeom eof them are found through Google and i am chasing the tails of several other source sin an attept to achieve the standards of ntoabbility and to correct any mistakes found in this article. I understand that the article its not perfect but I am pleading for forebarance and patience to help me with working with this article. of ocurse if you choose to delete i understand that al swell and I am sory Smith Jones (talk) 22:39, 18 December 2008 (UTC)


 * IMDB shows quite a few titles.—Sandahl 00:08, 19 December 2008 (UTC)


 * and if you check the article itself, i see that the original atuhor included articles from the New York Times which to me esatibhseds notability. Smith Jones (talk) 00:49, 19 December 2008 (UTC)
 * IMDb does show quite a few titles, but 40 roles over a 30 year career isn't necessarily a notable career. Also, a number of his roles appear to be one shot guest starring roles. I'm not denying he's been on screen, but still unsure if he's notable.
 * To Smith Jones, you are the original author, and the NY Times doesn't actually have any articles on him. He's included in their database the same way he's included in IMDb. Neither establishes notability, just the existence of their work. A  ni  Mate  02:15, 19 December 2008 (UTC)
 * i am well aware tha ti am the Original Author of the work; anyway i dont understand how so many credits on imdB can be considered proof of unnotablity. By that metric, any actor less famosu than Tom Cruise should be deleted just because of a dearth of English sources. It is clear that he is of slight promenade in Francophone language-speaking countries. again, this afd seems premarute to me. I am still working with French-speaking collabos in order to to find French-language sources to shore up my case for WP:N and wp:V Smith Jones (talk) 16:36, 21 December 2008 (UTC)
 * The French wikipedia lists his theatre, Tv and films (95% french work) and the following :(my translation)

''In recognition of his study of Minister Paul Barbe (1836-1890), as part of his contribution to the biography of Alfred Nobel by Swedish filmmaker Vilgot Sjömann, Hjärtebarn (Stockholm, 1995), he was rewarded by the creation of a Manuel Bonnet dossier at the Nobel Archives in Stockholm. He worked for Max Lavigne and participated in his latest book: 'Chantecoq'. Royal de la Cité to the Republican Commune (Paris 1996). He is also an author of documentary films. Directed by M. Kapture, ‘Two gendarmes in the Pacific’ (RFO / CINETEVE 2000), which won the Lucien Kimitété award at the Groix Film Festival in 2002. He studied at the prestigious Conservatoire national supérieur d'art dramatique in Paris from 1973.'' The 'jewelry' entry is completely unproven. imo. Personally, I reckon he's notable enough, but then I am francophile and this is en:wiki Dickie (talk) 08:39, 22 December 2008 (UTC)
 * I'm inclined to agree with you, Dickie, though it looks like a lot of original research went into the first draft of our article. A  ni  Mate  17:46, 22 December 2008 (UTC)
 * I've added a bucket of stuff from fr:wiki (more on bio and a list of 97 appearances)- so can we keep him now ? BTW, there's no tilde on his name, that name (Mañuel Bonnet) belongs to a retired Colombian general. Dickie (talk) 11:45, 23 December 2008 (UTC)
