Non notable actor who has made cameo’s in few movies. Subject falls short of WP:NACTOR & doesn’t satisfy general notability guidelines. A before search turns up empty. Celestina007 ( talk) 10:30, 19 April 2020 (UTC) reply

• Delete He never had a significant role. Totally fails notability guidelines for actors. John Pack Lambert ( talk) 12:06, 20 April 2020 (UTC) reply
• Delete. People do not get over NACTOR just for appearing in stuff — they have to have significant roles, which is not the same thing as all roles, and even with significant roles they still have to have some evidence of reliable source coverage about them in real media. But the only sources here are genealogical ones, not media — and not only are genealogical sources not support for notability in and of themselves, per our primary sourcing rules even articles that do pass our notability standards still can't use genealogical sourcing to support any biographical content not already placed on the public record in the subject's published media coverage. (That is, if you can't find any published books or newspaper articles about him that state his birthdate or the name of his wife, then you're simply not allowed to dig into civil B/M/D records to find them yourself.)

• Weak Keep: I've found some sources at newspapers.com under the subject's pseudonym. I'm applying to have them clipped at WP:RX. While it's doubtful that the subject's TV and film credits will pass WP:NACTOR, there may be something more substantial in the sources in terms of WP:GNG, so I'll cast a tentative "Weak Keep" vote for the moment.

• Here are a few of the sources: here, here, here and here. The last two provide only brief praise, but they do show that the subject had what would appear to be main roles in theatre productions, which would strengthen the case for WP:NACTOR. I found another, more in-depth article that refers to the subject in a different capacity—though I'm not sure if it's really him or someone else. The age and location fit, but I'm not certain. It does not, however, refer to the subject in terms of his career as an actor. If anyone wants to see it I am happy to post it. Dflaw4 ( talk) 12:01, 26 April 2020 (UTC) reply

• Delete - The sources listed by Dflaw4 are articles about the shows and not about the actor; the actor enjoys maybe a sentence of coverage in each of the four articles. In other words, the coverage is trivial and does not confer notability on the subject. There are no good sources in the article and I couldn't find any. Therefore, delete.
