Not-notable actor. The text itself, from which I've plucked a number of peacock feathers, already makes little claim to notability, and the four references don't help much either. The first is a link to a website for Kenyan teachers of French, which doesn't mention the subject (and as a teacher he wouldn't be notable anyway.) The second is an announcement on a blog that establishes he performed as an actor. The third, a not necessarily reliable source, mentions him (once) and a couple of other comedians. The fourth is the most reliable source of them all: the French paper La Croix, in a piece on the festival of Avignon, mentions and cites one sentence from our subject on the pleasures of the festival, and identifies him as an enthusiastic theater student.

That’s all of it, I’m afraid: no notability established as actor, teacher, or translator. Drmies (talk) 17:48, 18 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Well, what La Croix says is that he was on the stage at the university of Avignon, which isn't quite the same as saying he's a student. (later) I'll be damned, "en stage" doesn't mean on the stage.  It means "studying at".  Back to French school for S Marshall! (/later) There's not enough material for a separate article there, though, and I've looked for reliable sources without finding any.  Drmies is correct: delete.— S Marshall   Talk / Cont  18:56, 18 September 2009 (UTC)

 * Delete, I created this article and I am inclined to agree on the notability issue.
