No evidence this person is a notable actor, despite the claims in the article. His only major role is a 4 episode appearance (one of which is uncredited on The Outsiders. The rest is all cruft. I'm also not sure how one can guest star on a series in an unnamed role ("auctioneer", for example.) I can also find absolutely no real coverage of Ratcliffe.

Keep: actor seems to have a lot of credits, some of which appear significant. If the article got cleaned up a bit plus a few more references, I don't see why it should be deleted. Dflaw4 (talk) 08:59, 6 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Fails WP:ACTOR. Has a long list of credits but they're mainly one-time parts and sporadic recurring minor roles. Article was essentially a resume with nothing but his filmography and peacock wording/coattailing in a weak attempt at establishing notability ("award winning and critically acclaimed show "Army Wives", "strong comedic characters"). Reference list was nothing but press releases. sixtynine ^{• whaddya want? •} 17:24, 7 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Keep passes WP:NACTOR #1 Has had significant roles in multiple notable films, television shows, stage performances, or other productions. Nip Tuck, Vice Principals, Nash bridges etc. Wm335td (talk) 18:51, 14 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete I took a closer look. His roles were not significant. Wm335td (talk) 19:00, 15 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Wm335td you misunderstand major roles. Appearing in a notable show as an unnamed character or an extra is not major or significant. Praxidicae (talk) 01:17, 15 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Article has no relevant credible sources, regardless of what he has done if there is no articles about him it fails notability guidelines. Australianblackbelt (talk) 10:29, 15 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete No No No. Voicing Praxidicae, there’s no in-depth significant coverage in reliable sources. Furthermore I also observe the subject of our discussion hasn’t won any major notable award hence falling short of ANYBIO.Celestina007 (talk) 12:04, 15 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete No multiple significant roles as required by WP:NACTOR. Mattg82 (talk) 20:20, 15 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. This is a clear delete from me. No SIGCOV available either in print or online, and his roles are minor at best. Plenty of these are the work of agents trying to prop their clients up. Best, PK650 (talk) 22:28, 16 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete I searched, but the best I could find was a story in his hometown paper about the pizza ad .IceFishing (talk) 18:34, 17 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
