Non-notable working actor. No awards or nominations, all roles very minor (his role on Emmerdale is the 790th role listed for the series at IMDb. Fails WP:ENTERTAINER. Bongo  matic  01:08, 19 March 2009 (UTC)
 * That 790th role listed argument doesn't work. IMDB entries for soap operas routinely list characters alphabetically or in (reverse) order of appearance which directly affects the listing of recent or past cast members. - Mgm|(talk) 11:05, 19 March 2009 (UTC)
 * In the listings I've seen, for non-key characters, it's in reverse order of number of appearances (more appearances come first). Bongo  matic  13:15, 19 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment - not a reliable source, IMDb listings for episodes of long-running soap operas are very incomplete. According to IMDb's current episode listings, Kylie Minogue was only in 5 episodes of Neighbours! DWaterson (talk) 22:42, 25 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Also, the IMDB entry for Half-Moon Investigations lists in incidental supporting character first, the lead's sidekick second and the lead third. Clearly the order in IMDB credits are nowhere near reliable.- Mgm|(talk) 10:42, 29 March 2009 (UTC)

 * Strong keep. Amongst other roles, a main cast member of a major award-winning show, and a long-term (6 years) cast member of a long-running soap opera broadcast on a major channel. Passes WP:ENTERTAINER easily. DWaterson (talk) 22:35, 25 March 2009 (UTC)

 * Weak keep long-running stints on a couple of shows; marginally notable. JJL (talk) 00:03, 29 March 2009 (UTC)

 * Borderline keep. One minor character on a TV series probably isn't enough. I'd say two just about scrapes it. If nothing else, once someone claims notability for two TV programmes, redirects stop making sense. Chris Neville-Smith (talk) 10:11, 29 March 2009 (UTC)
