Ron Chaney

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Only real claim to notability is relation to his grandfather and great grandfather. He has contributed to a few projects about his family and appeared in a few minor independent films. All the sources are either primary, simple genealogical entries, or not about the subject i.e. the trailer for a film he happens to be in. A search for sources on Ron results in nothing for me.

 * Delete He is a minor actor. The article lacks the secondary sitations generally needed for this kind of think. At best we should merge to the article on his grandfather and add a sentence about him appearing in similar roles.John Pack Lambert (talk) 23:11, 5 August 2014 (UTC)
 * Weak keep He starred in House of the Wolf Man and had a major role (billed sixth) in Coffin Baby; those two major roles may be enough to meet criterion #1 of WP:ENT. --MelanieN (talk) 15:57, 12 August 2014 (UTC)

 * Delete - the references are very weak, and mostly crowd-sourced WP:RS LaMona (talk) 16:41, 17 August 2014 (UTC)
 * Delete - the only sources I can find are passing mentions of him attending events or talking about his grandfather. So he's only notable by association, therefore belongs in the Lon Chaney article. AdventurousMe (talk) 10:56, 22 August 2014 (UTC)
 * Hit publish too soon. He is already well and appropriately covered in the Lon Chaney, Jr. article as someone who talks about his grandfather at events. AdventurousMe (talk) 10:58, 22 August 2014 (UTC)
