Matthew Marvin (actor)

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

I've just declined this article as a speedy deletion candidate, and am putting it up for AFD here. The rationale was that the person does not meet WP:ENTERTAINER. Chase me ladies, I&#39;m the Cavalry (talk) 16:32, 21 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Weak keep — Large role in a feature film alongside major entertainers such as Meryl Streep. I'd say that just about meets WP:ENTERTAINER but hey, it's anyone's game.
 * Weak delete per rationale given by . I should have noticed 'multiple roles' in the criteria! —Cyclonenim (talk · contribs · email) 17:20, 21 December 2008 (UTC)


 * Delete Doesn't meet WP:ENTERTAINER, as it fails "Has had significant roles in multiple notable films" on possibly two different counts, the actor having played an arguably minor role in one film. I also don't understand why others felt that the CSD criterion "non-notable" person doesn't apply, since an actor is still a person. —Largo Plazo (talk) 16:45, 21 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment: The CSD criterion for A7 is not "non-notable". It is: "an article about a real person that does not indicate the importance or significance of the subject". Also from the CSD - "This is distinct from questions of verifiability and reliability of sources, and is a lower standard than notability".  --Omarcheeseboro (talk) 17:24, 21 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment I understand the intent behind the guideline to be not to allow every person who has ever had a speaking role in even one film to be treated as notable. If this person is treated as notable, then that intent is thwarted. —Largo Plazo (talk) 16:49, 21 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete per Largolplazo does not meet WP:ENTERTAINER and yes actors are people too. ;)  JBsupreme (talk) 16:46, 21 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete - Doesn't meet wp:entertainer.  It's not asserted that subject's role in the film "Doubt" is significant . References appear to be limited to local coverage. Perhaps revisit article after  subject has more notable acting roles. --Omarcheeseboro (talk) 17:24, 21 December 2008 (UTC)
