Contested PROD. Fails WP:NACTOR and WP:GNG JMHamo (talk) 13:15, 4 July 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete Clearly a different person to the previous AfD in 2004 (comments suggest that person was dead), but fails WP:GNG and WP:NACTOR. Note the IMDb reference (which isn't a reliable source doesn't even mention any of these TV programmes, and the Daily Mail is widely considered an unreliable source.

 * Keep Clearly notable. Meets WP:NACTOR #1 as a regular in Coronation Street (the most watched programme on British Television) plus a number of other high profile UK soaps/dramas. (I don't quite know where User:Joseph2302 looked but when I checked IMDb, all of the programmes were included). Meets WP:GNG and WP:NACTOR #2 from the extensive National tabloid interest shown in the first couple of pages of search results from Google - The Daily Mail, The Daily Express, Daily Star (British newspaper) and The Daily Mirror (see e.g. ).

 * I just read the first few lines of IMDb, which didn't list any of those as his most notable achievements. Also, all those "newspapers" are just tabloids, I wouldn't consider any of them reliable sources. Just being on Coronation Street doesn't make them notable. Joseph2302 (talk) 14:31, 4 July 2015 (UTC)
 * I don't believe the reliability (or not) of the tabloids is relevant here - the mere fact that they are talking about him affirms that he is notable. As to whether being on Coronation Street et al makes him notable: WP:NACTOR says that someone who "has had significant roles in multiple notable films, television shows, stage performances, or other productions" is notable, so apparently it does.

 * Delete as fails NACTOR & GNG - His roles bar Corrie have all been minor so IMHO he'd only be remembered for Corrie & that's it, As for sources GNews is full of crap on him & Georgia but other than that I can't find anything notability-wise so will have to say Delete. – Davey 2010 Talk 16:39, 4 July 2015 (UTC)

 * Delete for now although I would've said move to Coronation Street or another related article had he been mentioned but he's not (IMDb suggests he's best know for this). Sure the tabloids may talk about him but there's not much for an article at this time with my searches finding these results here and here (I'm sure there's more with searching at news sources websites). Oftentimes, if there's not much at IMDb, there's not much here at Wiki. SwisterTwister   talk  05:03, 10 July 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete. A problem for searching for good sources here is the commonness of the name. Bearian (talk) 12:20, 10 July 2015 (UTC)
