The result was redirect to House of Anubis#Main Cast. Redirecting on the suggestion from MQS. However, with one "keep" vote this falls just a little short of a consensus so consider this a no consensus close. Ron Ritzman (talk) 01:48, 12 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect ~~Delete~~ without prejudice per WP:TOOSOON#Actors. Short career[1] and the youngster has no coverage (yet), but as the House of Anubis series is only "just" released and is itself finally getting press, when he gets some himself we might consider a return... but WP:NotJustYet.

I think you're probably right. Or perhaps just redirect to House of Anubis#Main Cast for now? pablo 00:26, 23 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Agreed. A redirect serves just fine until such time if/when this actor merits an inpendent article. Schmidt, ^{MICHAEL Q.} 02:38, 23 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Also starred as Gerald Durrell in My Family and Other Animals, a significant British drama series. -- Necrothesp (talk) 19:45, 23 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

May well have been, however Simon was in the TV film, not a drama series. pablo 19:47, 23 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

My mistake - I'd forgotten it was a one-off drama and not a series (although I'm sure I remember it being shown in more than one episode). However, the point is still valid. Focusing on a single role as above just because the article says it's what he's "best-known" for (which often merely means the creator is a fan of that particular film or series and doesn't know the actor for anything else) is a mistake. -- Necrothesp (talk) 19:53, 23 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

You're right, and I don't put much stock in anyone's opinion of what someone's 'best known' for.^diff But Michael's point that Simon has had little coverage (ie there is little to be found that discusses him as an actor) is a valid one; google +"eugene simon", +"My Family and Other Animals" for some reviews for instance; not a lot there. I suggested House of Anubis as a redirect because that's current; looks like it may have some run left in it, and a redirect means that this (albeit tiny) article can be retrieved from the history if and when needed. pablo 20:00, 23 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
