I could not establish that he meets WP:NACTOR or WP:GNG. Boleyn (talk) 19:34, 1 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Clearly notable. He was in 182 episodes of one show over 8 seasons on a major network. So recognizable they used him in character to explain how TV's worked. Rmhermen (talk) 03:16, 2 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Has had some notable roles and as had several independent reliable source news sources cover him in detail so meets the GNG. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 GoldenAgeFan1 (talk) 05:17, 2 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Weak keep per Rmhermen's comment. Campbell's eight seasons as part of the main cast on According to Jim is very impressive. What bothers me is the WP:NACTOR guideline, which expects multiple major (significant) roles, but he has many guest or recurring roles across a number of TV series in the years since According to Jim. All that appears to sum up notability on NACTOR grounds (especially with all the seasons he was on According to Jim), even if it may not technically meet point #1 in the guideline.

Keep Main role for 8 years is pretty significant in my opinion. I know WP:NACTOR suggests multiple main roles but hard to do that when locked down for that much time on a single series. The article as it stands has one source but multiple significant coverage sources are available as pointed out in the discussion above. Subject looks to meet WP:BASIC (and intent of NACTOR) but article needs work to include those references. Geraldo Perez (talk) 17:33, 14 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
