Non-notable person. Potts is a non-notable filmmaker, and at best, a footnote in Dana Plato's story. WikiDan61^ChatMe!_ReadMe!! 21:14, 27 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

'KEEP' Fred Potts is not non-notable. he was not just a footnote in Dana Plato's life, he was engaged to be married to her. If this is just a footnote of someone life then WikiDan61 has a small life. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Viktoriasoviet (talk • contribs)
Keep does not meet WP:DEL-REASON. Romantic interests in Dana Plato pending marriage is notable. Mango 03:43, 28 August 2015 (UTC) — Mangoclowns (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.
Delete WP:INHERITED, WP:BLP1E. A search for sources is difficult due to the genuinely notable war hero of the same name, but I don't think there's anything out there. Ritchie333 ^(talk) ^(cont) 04:43, 28 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

""Delete""" Knows some ""Hollywood"" people and Dana Plato but not notable on own. wally 22:27, 28 August 2015 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Escapement (talk • contribs)

Comment Based on the fact that the article was created by a confirmed sock puppet, WP:CSD#G5 applies. WikiDan61^ChatMe!_ReadMe!! 12:12, 2 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
