Does not meet WP:NPROF and a WP:BEFORE search shows only local coverage, nothing to meet WP:GNG. Has been tagged for notability for 9 years with no improvement. Melcous (talk) 07:52, 3 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. The article leaves much to be desired, but he does seem to hold a named chair. --Tataral (talk) 19:05, 3 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Keep According to his faculty profile, he "was awarded the Mabel DeVries Tanner Endowed Professorship in 2003 and was reappointed to this position in 2006", which counts for WP:PROF#C5. (Also mentioned here and here.) XOR'easter (talk) 00:19, 4 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Keep I'm not convinced about the named chair argument (only because I have not been able to find an independent source for that), but there seems to be generally broad coverage, and specifically coverage that might support a WP:ENT argument that as a teacher and artistic director, he's played a significant role in stage performances and an impact on the field, at least in the local areas he's worked in (California and then West Virginia). Keep in mind that, against the context of the whole U.S., "local area" can sometimes be equivalent to a small- to medium-sized country. I'm willing to presume notability. -- Netoholic @ 16:36, 4 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - does not meet WP:NACTOR (no "significant roles in multiple notable films, television shows, stage performances, or other productions") - does not meet WP:NACADEMIC (no "research has had a significant impact," no "academic work has made a significant impact," or other criteria) - Epinoia (talk) 01:01, 9 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
