BLP PROD removed on the basis of the four sources now in place. However, most of these amount to very basic, passing references that do little but confirm that this individual appeared in some works. My further WP:BEFORE has uncovered a few other sources (including a Figaro one that I suspect others will find) but these are simply announcements of theatre and films in the culture section - they don't cover Cassignard in any depth as an individual. Net result is that there isn't the substantial, independent coverage by reliable sources required for WP:GNG.

Whether he meets WP:NACTOR probably comes down to your interpretation of 'significant roles', 'multiple' and 'notable' but I'd argue that his work does not meet this criteria and that, in any case, "meeting one or more does not guarantee that a subject should be included" given the lack of coverage.

Keep I removed the BLP PROD, as it simply required reliable sources. Yes, I do believe that he meets WP:NACTOR, on the basis of having had significant roles in multiple notable productions, and having won a Moliere award once and been nominated twice. I am sure there are more sources - I can see snippets of some in Google Books, though not enough of them to cite title of the article, volume, etc, and I do not currently have access to digitised French language newspaper sources for the 1980s - ca 2010. But an actor who has won a significant award and had a career of over 30 years will definitely have coverage, so should not be deleted just because finding it takes effort. As an alternative to deletion, it would have been useful to request help searching for French language sources instead of PRODding and then bringing it to AfD.

Keep - The Moliere Award win and nomination should easily pass NACTOR. It's the French equivalent of the Tony Award. matt91486 (talk) 02:29, 3 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Keep passes WP:ANYBIO with a very notable award, also passes WP:NACTOR with prominent roles as confirmed by The Figaro and other sources, thanks Atlantic306 (talk) 21:00, 7 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
