Declining db-spam speedy deletion, taking to AfD; the article was deleted 4 times in 2007 for non-notability (3 times as CSD A7), and it's not clear the problems are solved. - Dan Dank55 (push to talk) 14:22, 26 March 2009 (UTC)

 * I'm leaning towards a keep on this one. Looking at the list of newspaper articles (at the bottom of the article), I see a dozen+ mentions that are slightly more than trivial.  Most of the articles are about the subject's uncle, but they also mention Matt Norman, usually almost trivially, but a tiny bit more.  I think this, along with some of his film credits is probably enough to establish notability.  &mdash; LinguistAtLarge • Talk  15:17, 26 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep the many on-topic references and links provided in the article show beyond a doubt that this actor has received significant attention worthy of being recorded. Satisfies WP:BIO. -Atmoz (talk) 17:18, 26 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep the problems with this page lie not with notability.--Perry Middlemiss (talk) 22:12, 26 March 2009 (UTC)

 * Keep Usual case of "article isn't great, but that isn't a reason to delete". Subject appears to satisfy notability. Orderinchaos 01:18, 28 March 2009 (UTC)
