Was deprodded without improvement. Other than the spurt of coverage when he foiled the bank robbery in 1981, and even that is mostly simple mentions, there is not any in-depth coverage of him in independent, reliable, sources. Fails WP:GNG. Onel5969 ^{TT me} 12:34, 31 December 2022 (UTC)

• Keep Nathan Ingram has a strong article on medium.com. He was the basis of the character Bruce Leroy on the Last Dragon. A cult hero with real life stories including those with drug lords, bank robberies, and an actor in a number of movies. BlackAmerican (talk) 07:38, 3 January 2023 (UTC)

• Delete The medium.com is not a reliable source. It clearly states it is for anyone to post on and does not apply any editorial limitations. In fact, it says it's for anyone who wants to create a blog. An interview in a non-reliable source does not provide any coverage towards meeting WP:GNG. There's no evidence he was the basis for the character in The Last Dragon, the only claim is he got his nickname from that character--quite a different thing. He does not meet the notability criteria for actors or martial artists. Coverage about him foiling a bank robbery is a case of WP:BLP1E. In other words, he doesn't appear to meet any WP notability criteria. Papaursa (talk) 00:01, 7 January 2023 (UTC)
