The result was keep. No consensus to delete but the nominator is correct that the article needs some sourcing. (non-admin closure) Ron Ritzman (talk) 23:31, 15 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Fails WP:NOTE, lacks significant discussion in secondary sources independent of the article's subject. Side note: It is a WP:BLP article that does not cite any references or sources. Cirt (talk) 01:15, 2 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. He starred in a film which won a significant award at Cannes, and Google News shows significant coverage of that film, unfortunately most/all of it is in PPV archives. NYTimes movie archives show he's had nontrivial roles in several other notable films, and he apparently worked frequently in British TV for a few years, including a recurring one-season role on a longrunning TV series. There's enough to show he meets WP:ENT; this is a cleanup/improvement project. Hullaballoo Wolfowitz (talk) 04:33, 2 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Looking through his IMDB roles, they all seem minor ("Nambutu Embassy Official"), and with the lack of significant coverage, I dont see a reason to keep Corpx (talk) 06:18, 2 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - subject received a significant amount of coverage for his lead role in Young Soul Rebels in newspapers [1] and coverage for a variety of different roles in books.[2] --ThaddeusB (talk) 19:16, 2 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Which ones specifically, so I dont have to go through all of them Corpx (talk) 03:15, 3 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so consensus may be reached.

Weak keep While he doesn't have many roles, aside from the starring role in Young Soul Rebels a couple of his imdb credits from the 90s look like starring roles (Welcome II the Terrordome and On the Eight Ball). There are quite a few g-book references hitting on the name as well, as some of these films have been book reviewed. (Looks like this is a vanity case judging by the creator's username.)

Keep small article, but well-written. established notability. overall passes wikipedia guidelines.--Judo112 (talk) 16:46, 12 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Keep and with respects to Corpx, I cannot agree that his roles all seem minor, as the opposite seems the case. His role is a descriptive in only two of his many projects. In all of his others his characters have names. More to the point, and in meeting WP:ENT, I give consideration to the three different series where his characters or abilities were significant enough to have him brought back multiple times... London's Burning (5 episodes, 1989), Holby City (2 episodes, 1999-2004), and The Bill (6 episodes, 1987-2006). MichaelQSchmidt (talk) 00:16, 14 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
