Notability. Yes there are many appearances, but some of these actually demonstrate non-notabity. Series such as Z-Cars employ many actors in very short parts; the non-memorability of which is evidenced by the fact that the samer actor can reappear playing a another part in another episode. Their mother may recognize them, but nobody else will. TheLongTone (talk) 12:17, 10 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - A basic search provides no resources that would allude to a person's notability.MonroeHarless (talk) 20:33, 10 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Passes WP:NACTOR. AlessandroTiandelli333 (talk) 08:56, 25 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - The article points to several appearances as exemplary. In Love and Kisses, which lasted only 5 episodes, the subject appeared in the secondary role as the main character's son. In Z-Cars, Dr. Finlay's Casebook, Brookside, and Howards' Way, the subject appeared in two episodes. In The Avengers, No Hiding Place, and Compact, the subject appeared in only one episode. Nothing indicates that the subject had "significant roles in multiple notable *** productions. Nothing indicates that the subject has a large fan base or made unique, prolific or innovative contributions. The subject appears to have had a good career as bit actor, but nothing that indicates notability.--Rpclod (talk) 13:30, 25 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Delete seems pretty clear that he was not a notable actor, just a prolific bit player. ♠PMC♠ (talk) 01:23, 3 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per WP:V; the article lists no secondary reliable sources and none have been offered at this AfD. K.e.coffman (talk) 22:38, 6 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
