Non-notable individual lacking non-trivial support. One "references" des not even mention article subject. reddogsix (talk) 01:21, 26 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

~~delete - does not meet notability threshhold. DangerDogWest (talk) 02:55, 26 October 2015 (UTC)~~[reply]

Struck content from confirmed sock above, per WP:SOCKSTRIKE. North America¹⁰⁰⁰ 03:20, 31 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Keep The article subject meets WP:GNG by having significant coverage across numerous WP:RS References do include article subject. for example:

-http://www.coventrytelegraph.net/news/coventry-news/celebrities-line-up-stratford-film-3073017 "Festival director Rowan M Ashe said: “Stratford gave the world Shakespeare. His importance in the role of film as a medium of storytelling is unquestionably enormous." Please check the article and its references on your own. The nominator's statement, '"References" do not even mention article subject." is simply not true. Zpeopleheart (talk) 03:17, 26 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Not sure how you can avoid the fact that the "references" are trivial. (e.g., lists, primary, or a single quote - the example you listed above) The references hardly support inclusion into Wikipedia. I'll concede only one reference lacks a mention of the subject. reddogsix (talk) 03:38, 26 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - The reference linked by Zpeopleheart is the only reference currently in the article that is reliable and independent, and it's a passing mention. All the other references are either primary sources or unreliable (IMDb), except the Birmingham Mail source which doesn't mention him. I can't find anything to indicate he meets WP:GNG.

Delete for now and draft and userfy if needed as I see no better obvious improvement. SwisterTwister talk 05:04, 28 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

Delete. I checked a few of the refs and he's nowhere to be seen in them. Szzuk (talk) 19:47, 7 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
