I'm finding name drops and directory listings, but nothing substantial. Just one sentence mentions here and there. This has been tagged for non-IMDb sources for 3 years with none forthcoming. Everything out there on him is just name-dropping, absolutely no substance to the sources. Ten Pound Hammer • (What did I screw up now?) 01:41, 29 November 2011 (UTC)

Keep: Passes WP:NACTOR. Being tagged for non-IMDb sources for 3 years (or 5, or 15) is not a reason to nominate a subject for deletion, it is a reason to improve the article.--Cavarrone (talk) 11:11, 29 November 2011 (UTC)
 * Improve with WHAT though? I just freaking told you, I found nothing but trivial mentions. Ten Pound Hammer • (What did I screw up now?) 18:33, 29 November 2011 (UTC)

*Delete: fails WP:GNG with no references to demonstrate notability. In addition, no Google news hits are present for the periods of 2006-2011 and 2002-2005. Till I Go Home (talk) 07:54, 30 November 2011 (UTC)
 * This is not exact: . Anyway, he still passes WP:NACTOR as he "has had significant roles in multiple notable films, television shows, stage performances, or other productions". And GNews hits support this. --Cavarrone (talk) 08:04, 30 November 2011 (UTC)


 * I'll be back to !vote after I've had some time with the article on this quite prolific actor whose body of work from 1988 to present appears quite likley verifiable. And until I add it and the sourcing, I feel he at minimum meets WP:ANYBIO through a notable award for "Best Young Actor Co-starring in a Cable Series" for Salute Your Shorts. Will have more to say upon my return.  Schmidt,  MICHAEL Q. 10:29, 5 December 2011 (UTC)
 * Comment: I'm more than fine to switch my !vote if changes are made to the article which would demonstrate notability. Till I Go Home (talk) 11:59, 5 December 2011 (UTC)
 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.
