Delete: as COI-ridden article of non-notable individual. Quis separabit? 19:05, 21 December 2015 (UTC)  Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Comment. The article as presented does not directly state a case for notability, in the Wikipedia sense of significant coverage in independent reliable sources.  (The cited article in The Independent has only one sentence on Wheatley.) In fairness, though, this actor has a wide variety of meaningful stage and TV credits, as well as a few film appearances, so the article deserves a little attention. Searches turn up lots of mentions. His extensive work with the Tricycle Theatre is noted in a couple of books about the theatre, and this may be the most promising case for notability, if there is one. His role in the James Bond movie The Living Daylights has also gotten some favorable mentions (e.g. ) but again, I didn't find anything lengthy. In short: a real, hard working actor, but not much in the way of detailed coverage.--Arxiloxos (talk) 21:00, 21 December 2015 (UTC)
 * Keep The extensive performance history is notable. Deletion is not cleanup. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Thisisnotatest (talk • contribs) 06:09, 22 December 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete A long history of non-notable roles and performances. Reading through this TV and film credits, the biggest role I could find was a part in Bond film The Living Daylights, where he appears in a single scene before being killed by the bad guys.

 * Delete for now at best as simply none of this solidly suggests satisfying the applicable notability guidelines. SwisterTwister   talk  20:54, 29 December 2015 (UTC)
