Comment: to clarify, the discussion on Susie Cusack was about a recreated article, the article not being sourced but possibly sourcable and being improvable, the significance or not of Susie's roles and her shorter career, and the notability or not of her awards. No one opined a keep per inherited. Considering the discussion a result of "no consensus and add sources" might have been possible. We have a different situation here. While the Bill article also mentions the family in its background section, I do not see that mention as being an assertion of notability. The article assertion here is that Bill is an actor, and his longer-than-Susie's career must then be weighed per WP:ENT. Like any actor, he's had a number of roles... many minor. As we do not judge an actor only by the least of his roles, which non-minor ones can be considered were significant to their storyline? Tony McCoy in Ed Wood? Bobby in Quiet Days in Hollywood? Frank Jr, in Three Shots? Joel in Delinquent's Derby? Dr. Lundy in Elvis STories? Schmidt, ^{MICHAEL Q.} 21:55, 6 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. One apparently major role in a minor film and a minor role in a major one isn't enough IMO; the rest are mainly generic unnamed characters. The two so-called "references" don't even mention him. Clarityfiend (talk) 22:27, 6 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

- In the John Cusack interviews, John does mention his brother... but in no big way. In looking beyond the article's current lack of sources, we need to look through what is available elsewhere,[1][2] to see if we can find something that speaks about Billy in a a context beyond his being John's brother. We do have sources that speak toward Bill's work in theater or toward characters he's portrayed in a somewhat more-than-trivial manner.[3] Schmidt, ^{MICHAEL Q.} 22:50, 6 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Borderline, but the subject seems to pass WP:ENT and WP:GNG. Differently from her sister Susie, he has a continuous career, some significant roles and some secondary coverage. - Cavarrone (talk) 13:52, 8 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
