Patrick New

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

I removed the db-person tag because notability is asserted by the lengthy list of credits. However, I have been unable to find any reliable sources about this individual. A Google News Archive search (with the search term: "Patrick New" actor) does not return any relevant results. This person appears to fail Notability (people) and Verifiability. If reliable sources can be found to establish notability, I will withdraw this nomination. Cunard (talk) 08:10, 20 November 2009 (UTC)

 * Keep While I have not myself touched the article (yet), the individual appears to get quite a bit of coverage for his stage work... and someone else is already adding some sourcing. 00:14, 21 November 2009 (UTC)
 * The search returns many passing mentions, such as trivial coverage in character lists. The sources in the article are either passing mentions or unreliable. Can you point out two sources that provide nontrivial coverage about Patrick New? Cunard (talk) 00:26, 21 November 2009 (UTC)

 Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Tim Song (talk) 01:25, 27 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so consensus may be reached.


 * Delete: I just looked over the links tossed into the article, and each and every one of them are trivial mentions, the bulk of them no more than New's name tossed into a character list for some local stage production. Not a single one of them is about New, as WP:RS requires, and so fails WP:GNG.  His IMDB credits are solely bit parts such as "Room Service Guy" and "Nervous Dad #2." In going over WP:ENTERTAINER, he fulfills none of the elements.    RGTraynor  19:28, 27 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete - the coverage does not amount to anything that would be described a significant for his stage work. -- Whpq (talk) 16:42, 1 December 2009 (UTC)
