Reynaldo Dante[edit]

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

No claims of notability by WP:NACTOR: lots of films, but not notable ones (spot-checking, I can't find bluelinks for the filmography entries). Editors can't even agree on his birth/death dates, which suggests there are not in-depth independent-and-reliable sources about this person. DMacks (talk) 06:39, 14 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Note, this is also how I had PRODed it; it was deprodded by a long-term disruptive sockdrawer. I've revived the PROD tag as standard for evasion. DMacks (talk) 03:27, 15 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Subject fails WP:NACTOR. I removed PROD tag, as PROD is inapplicable once an article goes to AfD. Safiel (talk) 03:31, 15 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Note According to article history, article was PRODed and declined back in 2006, so article was ineligible for PROD anyhow. Safiel (talk) 03:32, 15 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for looking into the article history. DMacks (talk) 04:42, 15 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Cannot find anything more than incident mentions of him anywhere. He could have been a very active minor character actor.Rogermx (talk) 22:01, 29 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Similar problem with so many "oldie" Filipino actors. Sources are few and far in between as Philippine publications from that period are not digitized by Google. Regardless if they're only "incidental" mentions he satisfies WP:NACTOR. He is mentioned prominently as one of the first "greats" in Philippine cinema. The list of films he was in are all notable. He is in the starring/top-billing roles in almost all of them (usually paired with fellow-award winning actor Anita Linda). See surviving posters at [1], [2], [3], [4], [5] (the websites are blogs, but the posters/pages they publish are not). Lastly and most importantly, he won the Best Actor award from the Maria Clara Awards in 1951 for Kamay ni Satanas. Maria Clara is the first national award-giving body for Cinema in the Philippines. Here's a quote from an article in PEP:

The award-giving body's Best Actor was Reynaldo Dante for the movie Kamay ni Satanas (1950). Reynaldo was among the less known matinee idols of the 1930s before maturing as a dramatic actor in the 1940s. As part of the Philippine movies' early batch of matinee idols Reynaldo starred with 1930s hunk Leopoldo "The Great Profile" Salcedo, Domingo Principe, Teddy Belarmino, Ben Perez, Mat Ranillo and Jose Padilla Jr. in Magna East Productions' Hindi Kami Laos (1962).
