Matt K. Miller
AfDs for this article: 
 * – ( View AfD View log )

No sources found. Several roles but most are trivial. No biographical info found. Article also fails WP:1S and has never been more than one sentence and a list, not even after the last AFD four years ago. Multiple roles don't translate to notability if there are no sources!

 * You only see "Several roles"??? I see many dozens over two decades.  Failing an essay is not exactly a strong deletion argument, specially when the individual can be seen to meet guideline WP:ENT... while the WP:1S essay is interesting, it encourages a certain laziness by its suggesting deletion instead of supporting active efforts to expand short articles.  ANd please, that no one has done it yet is a reason to work on it, not delete it. See my "keep" below.  Schmidt,  MICHAEL Q. 02:12, 16 December 2010 (UTC)


 * Keep: Let this page stay. He's a good actor and has had some supporting roles in the shows that he has worked on. Rtkat3 (talk) 10:49, 21 December 2010 (UTC)

 * I see no reliable sources at all, nor anything that isn't a false positive, among all those Find Sources thingies. Ten Pound Hammer, his otters and a clue-bat • (Otters want attention) 01:22, 16 December 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep because 1) the individual's prolific 20+ year career is easily verifiable in reliable sources and meets WP:ENT, 2) in respecting the "keep" consensus of the last AFD, and 3) because I will myself undertake expansion and aditional sourcing. And TPH... you KNOW my google-foo is sometimes better than yours.  SO let's see what I can do and then check back in a few hours.  Schmidt,  MICHAEL Q. 02:12, 16 December 2010 (UTC)
 * Checking in... I was having a bit of a quandry, because I found lots of g-hits reviewing the work of a Matthew K Miller who was a very active stage actor and I did not at first think it was the same person. Turns out it is We now have the sources to build a decent BLP, and further support ENT. It will be added to the article.  Schmidt,  MICHAEL Q. 05:55, 16 December 2010 (UTC)
 * Apparently his being prolific as a voice actor is but icing on the cake of WP:ENT. The fellow has coverage and plenty of hits as a thespian.  Schmidt,  MICHAEL Q. 06:40, 16 December 2010 (UTC)
 * Wow. It took four years for someone to discover this? And for all four years this article didn't look like it had even one iota of effort put into it. Have we really gotten that friggin' lazy? Sheesh. Ten Pound Hammer, his otters and a clue-bat • (Otters want attention) 17:26, 16 December 2010 (UTC)
 * Well, to be fair, he's received a lot of coverage since the article was first written (thankfully)... and much of the "discovered" stuff was simply not available when the article was first written... back in a time when BLPs were not so subject to scrutiny. The positive result is that sometimes an AFD can get the results in improvement that might be hoped.  WP:HEY anyone?   Schmidt,  MICHAEL Q. 20:08, 16 December 2010 (UTC)
