 * Weak keep – I couldn't find anything but the Variety obit that provided "ample" coverage. He seems to have been in so many television shows and films, often playing authority figures. It's just the significant coverage stinks. Missvain (talk) 23:38, 22 January 2020 (UTC)
 * Weak Keep as it technically passes muster. Played in some significant films and to have been on Perry Mason for nine years was huge. Wouldn't surprise me if an offline source has a little more about him. --DiamondRemley39 (talk) 02:50, 23 January 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete a bunch of mainly uncredited roles does not add up to notability. Also one source is never enough on its own to pass GNG.John Pack Lambert (talk) 14:42, 23 January 2020 (UTC)
 * Keep. Having a Variety obituary is notable. ミラP 17:24, 23 January 2020 (UTC)
 * Comment Added two sources, one of which is an on-set accident that he was in (not tremendously significant coverage, but relevant to his biography) and the other of which is a review that provides coverage of his performance in a play. It took me some digging through the many newspaper mentions of him to find these things and I am hopeful there is other coverage out there as well. Let me be clear that I think it's enough for a keep as is. Consequently I am removing the "weak" out of my "keep." DiamondRemley39 (talk) 19:24, 23 January 2020 (UTC)
 * Keep: Prolific character actor, who played supporting roles in many notable films and TV series. Dflaw4 (talk) 14:15, 26 January 2020 (UTC)
