Two biographical blurbs are used as references; one is from a production he was in, so it is not WP:SECONDARY. I looked for other secondary sources but came up empty. Binksternet (talk) 06:02, 21 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Keep: The nominator seems to quickly want this article deleted instead of letting other users find more sources on this actor and lacking patience. - FilmandTVFan28 (talk) 06:21, 21 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, I would be happy to see this biography improved to the point of it meeting Wikipedia's guidelines. Your 'keep' vote has no policy basis. Binksternet (talk) 15:55, 21 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Clearly passes WP:ENTERTAINER for his work as an actor and voice actor. Significant roles, in notable works. He plays the reoccurring character of Principal Kwan from the notable series Smallville, as well as doing the original Japanese voice acting for Gihren Zabi from Mobile Suit Gundam. He also did the voice of Mister Fantastic in Fantastic Four: World's Greatest Heroes, that the main character of course. Dream Focus 02:11, 22 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per WP:ENTERTAINER. VMS Mosaic (talk) 12:18, 22 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Does not pass WP:ENTERTAINER if you cannot cite reliable source coverage — it's the quality of referencing that can be provided to verify that they pass ENTERTAINER, not the mere assertion of passing ENTERTAINER, that actually gets a person past ENTERTAINER. No prejudice against recreation in the future if a new version that actually cites proper sources can be created, but in its current form this version is a delete.

Keep per WP:GNG based on coverage of him as a playwright. --Rob (talk) 04:46, 24 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
