Richard Alan Reid

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  )

Minor actor lacking GHits and GNEWs of substance. Best known for a upcoming role in an unreleased film. Appears to fail WP:BIO and WP:ENT.  ttonyb (talk) 15:15, 28 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Comment He seems to have some minor appearances in film, but I can't see a keep. If kept, put in a note that this is not Richard Reid (shoe bomber), the asshole who made it more inconvenient for everyone to go through the airport.  I'd add that to the extent he's mentioned on imdb.com, it's not as "Richard Alan Reid", and that he shouldn't be referred to that way here (Richard Reid (actor) would do fine).  In the U.S. and Canada at least, criminals, more often than most demographic groups, tend to be referred to by their full names (Lee Harvey Oswald, John Wayne Gacy, etc.).  I think is mostly to avoid any possible confusion with an innocent person.  Mandsford 15:30, 28 May 2010 (UTC)
