Seems to be some confusion about who this is. The actor is just Riccardo Billi. See it:Riccardo Billi. The screen capture too in the second reference looks like him or his brother. No evidence it is anyone else.

The other ref is a single mention in an interview talking about something else. Not enough for notability, or even to clearly establish it’s the same or a different person. Whether it is another person it is clearly not an independently notable topic. JohnBlackburnewordsdeeds 11:19, 7 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Riccardo Billi died in 1982

  • comment none of the above collection of blog + social media links and images changes anything. None is a reliable source. But to address one assertion made, that
"Riccardo Billi (producer) is a PRODUCER. Riccardo Billi is an ACTOR"
there is nothing to prevent someone being both, and is in fact quite common. Producer is one of those roles like the director of a company that very few people start out doing, but instead usually end up at after doing something else, so an actor can become a producer. In many cases their careers overlap. Also it is highly unusual for different actors to have the same name. To avoid precisely such problems actors are encouraged, or may even be required, to change their name. See e.g. Screen Actors Guild#Unique stage names.
None of that proves there is only one person, or that there is a producer but he is not an actor. But neither do any of the links above and in the article prove otherwise. And when there is not enough evidence to establish who he is then there is not enough for notability, by a long chalk.--JohnBlackburnewordsdeeds 18:15, 8 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment. I seriously doubt this person produced Way of the Dragon. He's not listed in the film's credits. I just checked the beginning and ending credits on Netflix, and he's not anywhere in them that I can see. He might have done some production work on the film, but I doubt he's a producer.

I have removed the {{help me}} template. It does not belong here, and the request is premature. Wait for the discussion to end.--JohnBlackburnewordsdeeds 17:27, 10 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment, Billi the producer is actually a different person than Billi the actor. While I have not (re)found the specific sources, I read about him, quite trivially, in Italian cinema magazines such as Cine 70 and Nocturno, in articles which basically focused on his wife Malisa Longo and on a film produced by him, Le Amazzoni, which is a mockbuster of War Goddess and which achieved some minor cult status. That said, I don't see enough notability nor enough contents for an article. Outside his marginal involvment in Way of The Dragon, Billi's career as a producer was very thin, he basically just produced a couple of low-budget exploitation films. Maybe a brief mention and a redirect to his wife's article? Cavarrone 12:24, 11 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
yes, but for me, maybe a brief mention and a redirect in Riccardo Billi (disambiguation) and a link to his wife's article (Malisa Longo#Riccardo Billi), ok? Persivalpoint (talk) 14:21, 11 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete - page created by a sockpuppet of Charliewolf79, a cross-wiki lta. It is probably not accurate, as the nominator pointed out here, and could honestly be speedy deleted. Ajraddatz (talk) 18:50, 21 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
