Notability in question, minimal sourcing found. Chinchillazilla (talk · contribs) tried to AFD it but only got so far as creating a redlinked transclusion on the log. Ten Pound Hammer • ^{(What did I screw up now?)} 01:22, 12 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Weak Delete Tried to find something online that would establish notability and failed. There are sources listed. But they are print sources and what they show is not clear at all. It seems that in the case of an actor there would be SOME kind of online source supporting WP:N. The article doesn't offer much to hang notability on either. -Ad Orientem (talk) 02:07, 12 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

~~Weak~~ Delete - I'm struggling to see how a local theatre lead/artistic director meets our inclusion guidelines. There's coverage, like this and this, but it is decidedly local and most of it is written by one or two people at that local paper. There certainly wouldn't be enough to meet WP:CREATIVE, in my view, with only significant roles only in fairly insignificant local productions. I might try and clean it up a bit for the sake of fairness, but I think it will take a very good argument to convince me that the subject is notable. Stalwart111 02:21, 12 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Having tried to clean it up, I'm removing the "weak" part of my !vote. All the ELs were deadlinks and the television appearance claim is questionable, at best, given the supposed production company isn't a production company at all, but rather a company that makes and sells green screens for television shows, not actual television shows. The "theatre" he runs isn't actually a theatre at all - it's a theatre company that puts on productions at the local bar & bistro. Sorry. Stalwart111 02:40, 12 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delete even if perfect sourcing could be found somehow, he still wouldn't be notable. Community theater is non-notable pretty much by default, and as Stalwart points out, this isn't even at that level... bar/bistro theater. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 17:38, 12 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
