Still nothing to suggest the needed independent notability as the longest work and, major frankly, was only 12 episodes of a TV series for about 1 year; the others are simply a few appearances as a TV character; my searches have found nothing so far to suggest he has any independent notability for an article.

 * Comment: It looks like he played one of the lead roles in at least two films, both of which gained enough coverage to pass NFILM. It's taking a while to dig for these since they're not coming up as easily under his name (I have to search for each film individually), which might be due to others having similar names for various other projects.

 * Keep. It took a lot of digging since I had to go film by film (I didn't bother checking the TV series unless the role was for more than 1-2 episodes), but it looks like he's played major roles in quite a few films, enough to show notability. It also looks like he voiced a major character for the first 12 episodes of the Spawn series on HBO, until he was replaced in season 3 by a different actor. He's not really a huge actor (although apparently not for lack of trying), but it seems like he's notable enough to pass NFILM., what say you? I can see where you wouldn't have found this otherwise - I think it took me about 1-2 hours to find these sources since I had to look in at least 4-5 websites for coverage.

 * It's improved and it's something but I'm not entirely confidently convinced thus I'll wait for others to examine and comment. SwisterTwister   talk  06:28, 11 July 2016 (UTC)


 * Keep. I created the article, after seeing him in the movie Heaven Is a Playground and noticed that he is the only major character who does not have an own WP page. Though he is surely not Marlon Brando, he seems to have enough contribution; which apparently includes an Independent Spirit Award best male lead nomination (now added to the article). Btw. the previously deleted article with the same title was not about him, but some jazz band member of the same name, who was not considered to be notable on his own.

 * Keep per now (and more obviously) meeting the letter and intent of WP:NACTOR. Understanding the nominator rarely practicing WP:BEFORE, I have grateful thanks to for she actually having done so. THAT'S how we build an encyclopedia.  It's time to close this discussion per WP:OUTCOMES as now moot.  Schmidt,  Michael Q. 14:10, 11 July 2016 (UTC)
 * I'd give Swister a pass on this one. When I first searched I used Love's name and found pretty much nothing. Searching for his film credits produced far more, although even then I had to look in specific sites/areas in order to find some of these. The reviews weren't really forthcoming without a little extra digging since they didn't seem to want to be discovered initially. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡)  05:41, 13 July 2016 (UTC)


 * Keep As per the first point of WP:ENT. Playing the lead roles in multiple, notable films is enough to establish notability.  Omni Flames ( talk ) 04:40, 13 July 2016 (UTC)
