Only one of three sources appears to be reliable, that being Dread Central (though it links to the wrong article; can't find the correct one but there is this DVD review). Per this discussion, filmreference.com is blacklisted (though I only see bfilmreference.com on the actual list, a site which doesn't appear to exist; might that be a typo?), and the third is IMDb. Search turned up no further reliable coverage. QuietHere (talk) 05:14, 6 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Delete, agreeing with nom. I can't find much coverage beyond "Marc Donato was in film X". As a side note, I do think an argument could be made for WP:NACTOR#1, but the films that he had a significant role in (Bad Kids Go to Hell, The Final, and Sick Boy) appear to be barely notable (if at all), so I don't think finding any reliable coverage based on his appearance in those films is likely. —Danre98^{(talk^contribs)} 15:06, 8 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep. Though I can't find much coverage beyond "Marc Donato was in film X", GoldenAgeFan1 evidently can. I believe that all (but maybe one) contribute to meeting the WP:GNG. —Danre98^{(talk^contribs)} 00:00, 13 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Keep I believe he meets actor notability guidelines for the movie mentioned above along with his role in Degrassi: The Next Generation and The Blue Butterfly. He has also received multiple instances of news coverage in his native Canada but since it was a while ago, is behind paywalls so also meets the GNG. 1, 2, 3, 4 GoldenAgeFan1 (talk) 21:45, 12 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

Keep There's in-depth coverage in major Canadian newspapers from decades ago when he was more active. For example this on in the Toronto Star. Nfitz (talk) 22:03, 14 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
