 * Comment: The trouble is that the references for the Half Moon mention Irving only in passing and the film roles are not very significant. WP:ENTERTAINER requires a little more. –– Jezhotwells (talk) 00:29, 6 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Weak keep I think his credits including the Bill and How to Be as well as his theatre contribution makes him just about worthy of inclusion. Dr. Blofeld       White cat 20:58, 6 July 2010 (UTC)

 * I do see where Jezhotwells is coming from in the comment above. One could argue that the two refs regarding Half Moon are more about the institution than the man. And although he has a wide range of acting credits, they don't seem to be lead roles (at least those found online, which obviously tend to "recentism" and fail to take account of a long career). That's why I just noted the refs rather than expressing an opinion one way or the other. However, I too am tending to Weak keep as the article adds a bit of depth and cross-linking.

 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so consensus may be reached.


 * Keep Subject demonstrates notability. He has a bio on IMDB as well as having been at least a small part player in several movies as well as establishing the "Half Moon Playhouse." Article is in need of some cleanup, better referencing, etc., but should not be deleted. Nineteen Nightmares (talk) 00:58, 11 July 2010 (UTC)Nineteen Nightmares
