Keep. The page needs improvement (with sources like this or this. No lead roles and various minor roles but some significant roles in notable films, which makes him meet WP:NACTOR ("The person has had significant roles in multiple notable films, television shows, stage performances, or other productions") in my view. His performances have received some coverage (in the LAT) (or this in the NYT) (that is not in-depth, but the guidelines does not require them for WP:NACTOR) The fact that he had his obituary in The Chicago Tribune, in Variety , in the LAT, and in the Hollywood Reporter seals the deal, I think.-My, oh my!

Weak Keep due to Lionel Mark Smith's extensive filmography, including roles in films like "Galaxina" and "Homicide" and TV appearances on shows such as "Seinfeld" and "NYPD Blue," I see notability. However, some sources should have been added, as one IMDB source doesn't help much. Also, great "keep" comment above I agree with! --BoraVoro (talk) 17:17, 10 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
