Stephen W. Burns
Non-notable film actor. Career highlights: Herbie Goes Bananas and 14th-billed on The Thorn Birds. Was Prod'ed, but tag removed with the comment AIDS victim is significant). I hate to say this, but no. Calton | Talk 04:32, 19 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Weak delete IMDb has more listings for him than other actors profiles I've seen but as Calton states, his highlights are not up to much and I beleive, would be considered lowpoints of many actors' careers ! David Humphreys SPEAK TO MEABOUTTHE THINGS I MESSED UP 05:22, 19 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Weak keep Unfortunately, being an AIDS victim is all too common to make one notable. However, the Herbie films are notable, and The Thorn Birds is very notable. He may not have played a major role in that one, but it seems like enough. Will not be protesting if the article is deleted, though. Borderline case. GassyGuy 21:31, 19 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Weak Keep I don't see how his cause of death from AIDS is anymore relevant then if he was a man who died from Breast Cancer---of which there are thousands. Do they merit a Wiki article based soley on that? No, however his roles in the Herbie films and Thorn Bird do maintain enough notability to warrant an article. Think of all the Star Trek minor characters we have. 205.157.110.11 22:48, 19 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Weak keep Minor film roles barely qualify him. No coverage of him as a PWA. JChap (talk • contribs) 23:35, 19 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep per above. --badlydrawnjeff talk 11:03, 20 July 2006 (UTC)
 * No vote AIDS info unverified (was deadlink). Can we be certain IMDB is accurate given this? Hipocrite - &laquo; Talk &raquo; 13:06, 20 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Weak keep'. rootology 14:43, 20 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep I think his film/TV roles are just enough to get him over the line on notability. Paddles TC 13:00, 22 July 2006 (UTC)
