Comment: Fails WP:ENTERTAINER and WP:GNG. The references are passing mentions. a collection of photos amassed by Robinson himself, and one newspaper article I can't view. Clarityfiend (talk) 22:52, 13 March 2021 (UTC)
- Resubmitted. Your "not being able to view" a source is not grounds for excluding an entry. Furthermore, that Robinson collected the photographs that are now an important and significant part of historical collection about Vaudevillians is irrelevant. What matters is that the collection and his role in it are notable. ----
Blondie Robinson, also sometimes written as Blondi Robinson, was a renowned vaudeville comedic act performer.[1] The Brown University Library has a collection of photographs of him and fellow performers of the vaudeville era.[2]
He was lauded in a 1909 Indianapolis Freeman review for his skilled comedy routine.[3] The Boston Globe described him as a comedian and described his performing role as a "man about town".[4]
His performances included various song and dance routines, costumes, and blackface.[5] He partnered with fellow vaudeville performers including Bisette and Billie McCarver.[5]
