Comment: I did find some limited coverage of him as far as his acting goes, but it's pretty much just local papers and I'm not entirely certain about whether it's enough to really push him past notability guidelines. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡) 05:36, 18 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per nom - No evidence of notability. –Davey2010 ^{Merry Xmas / Happy New Year} 03:47, 25 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per nom. The regional award does not establish notability, IMO.--TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 11:14, 26 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Keep I'm withdrawing the nomination. Much to my surprise, he is included in Gale Contemporary Authors, [1], and we have always accepted inclusion there as for any other standard subject encyclopedia as proof of notability. Most public libraries have the database in one or another form, and WorldCat will always indicate if someone is included. It's part of the basic check for any author. (I think the inclusion is based on Master of Verona, which has 266 copies in WorldCat.) He seemed so non-notable I skipped checking. DGG ( talk ) 02:39, 28 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
