Non-notable actor, fails WP:NACTOR, citations provided are not significant enough to prove notability JMHamo (talk) 22:33, 22 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Michael K. Lee is a notable actor, having starred in numerous productions on Broadway. How can I assist to clarify this issue?— Preceding unsigned comment added by Eric Ingram (talk • contribs) 22:45, 22 January 2016‎

Delete. A working actor, but a notable one, yet. Also, this isn't a WP article, it's a Playbill listing, so it's probably a copyvio. --Calton | Talk 02:08, 23 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Referenced lists of information are not a copy vio,otherwise about half of wikipedia would be deleted.Atlantic306 (talk) 12:43, 23 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - First, regarding copyvio issue, using the earwig tool, does not appear to be the case. Second, regarding notability, he's had significant roles in 3 Broadway productions: Allegiance, and the revivals of Pacific Overtures and Jesus Christ Superstar. He also had a significant role in Miss Saigon. Third, there appears to be enough in-depth coverage to warrant inclusion under WP:GNG: Korea Times, Korea Herald, Seattle Weekly, and if not, the literally hundreds of mentions of him in articles from LA, to Philly, to NYC, would appear to meet the requirements of WP:BASIC. While I know it's not a valid argument, I'm sure there's more coverage of him in Korean sources, and would like to see a Korean editor do some research on that. But as it is, I think he passes under at least three criteria: WP:GNG, WP:BASIC, and WP:NACTOR. Onel5969 ^{TT me} 14:27, 23 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Tentative Keep perhaps if it can actually be better improved. SwisterTwister talk 06:04, 25 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Added several citations to the article. Anything it needs? Eric Ingram (talk) 16:03, 27 January 2016 (UTC)Eric[reply]
KeepThe actor has had prominent roles in notable Broadway productions as well as many in Korea. Reliable sources have been found so I think WP:GNG is passed.Atlantic306 (talk) 16:29, 27 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, —UY Scuti ^Talk 17:29, 29 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Weak Keep due to the sources provided but also the small article length. Speaking of Jesus Christ Superstar, I'll give the subject this, at least it's a lot more notable then Bob Bingham (and I still can't get over that article being kept) edtiorEهեইдအီးËეεઈדוארई電子ಇអ៊ី전자ഇī😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎 02:32, 4 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
