Concerns about notability. Sources are a local newspaper, more about Duns and District Amateur Operatic Society than the person, who is only made mention of in passing along with other society members. FYI: Article was recently stub-ified as a cut-and-past from the subjects website. The Eskimo (talk) 20:43, 7 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete, as nom says the only sources are from a local newspaper writing stories about the society -- I see nothing with substantial coverage of the person. Nomoskedasticity (talk) 21:50, 7 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I tend to get annoyed by how much stage actors get overlooked, but then I had a look further here. Clearly this person has an agenda to promote himself as heavily as possible. Even established professionals tend to avoid self promotion to that extent on their own websites. Judging from the photos, they look like amateur productions. The list of theatre credits similarly looks suspiciously like it's glossing over them all being amateur productions (and maybe the odd extra in TV programmes). If I can be shown evidence of appearances in professional productions, that might change the balance. For the time being, however, delete.

Delete I agree with Chris N-S about notability criteria for actors, but also that the evidence in this case falls short of any sustainable criteria such as a period of membership of a company notable in its own right. AllyD (talk) 19:16, 9 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
