I first saw this page when I was googling the 2007 film, The Mist only to find the name and the occupation of the actor and the filmography. I prefer seeing his information in other websites like IMDb and Rotten Tomatoes.

This page has been deleted, but It came back when I was checking if it's still present in the page about the articles for deletion/Log/2023 January 16 — Preceding unsigned comment added by 4lepheus B4ron (talkcontribs) 16:15, 20 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment @4lepheus B4ron: It had been deleted after you had tagged it for speedy deletion per WP:G7, but then undeleted when it was called to the deleting admin's attention that G7 did not apply in this case, as has already been explained on your user talk page. As for the article itself, I'm having trouble finding references outside of IMDb and the usual array of other performer databases, so the subject may not meet WP:GNG (haven't gone deeply enough to formally !vote either way), but "It's been a stub for years" is not in itself a sufficient reason to delete an article by whatever method. --Finngall talk 19:56, 20 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment @4lepheus B4ron: Please add new comments at the bottom of the page rather than continually editing your nomination statement above. Your changing of "It's been a stub for years." to "I prefer seeing his information in other websites like IMDb and Rotten Tomatoes." removed the context for my reply above--this is not conducive to a proper discussion. And where you prefer to find information has no bearing here--we're talking about Wikipedia policy now. --Finngall talk 16:45, 26 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
