Delete Although never a star, he did appear in some interesting films. I did some searching but there is nothing more to be said about him; I could find no notable references. He will continue to be listed in the various movie databases, which is appropriate. LaMona (talk) 01:55, 23 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Delete, probably had an interesting career, but I don't see how he could meet WP:CREATIVE. Lankiveil ^{(speak to me)} 01:09, 31 August 2014 (UTC).[reply]
Delete - I don't think we have anything more to help this subject meet WP:GNG here. Red Phoenix ^{let's talk...} 03:52, 31 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
~~Comment~~ Keep I found that Hank Henry appeared in a sketch alongside Bela Lugosi. Since this review shows the Silver Slipper comedian is the right Hank Henry, there should be sources about his Silver Slipper career including Daily Reporter. --MrLinkinPark333 (talk) 16:22, 31 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Meets GNG. Subject was a stage comedian who appeared in burlesque (at Minsky's) with many of the art's greatest stars. Robert Alda was his straight man/partner. Henry appeared on numerous Las Vegas stages for many years, one United Press feature calling him a "Las Vegas Fixture". One widely reprinted Erskine Johnson column appears in October 1957: Comedian Hank Henry Finds Rainbow's End in Las Vegas. It appears his stage career ran for five decades. The above clippings may be from local newspapers, but syndicated into dozens if not hundreds of publications nationwide. BusterD (talk) 02:32, 2 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Keep – In addition to what's noted above, I'm finding several articles about him over the years in Variety, including Bill Willard (April 8, 1981). "Comedian Hank Henry Dies At 74", Variety 302 (10): 72. It notes he was known mainly for his stage work, but he was also a veep of the Screen Actors Guild Nevada branch, and, having been noticed by Irving Berlin, he had a significant comedic role in This Is the Army.

Keep Per the above; there appear to be enough sources to satisfy GNG. Not my area of expertise, but the sources seem acceptable, too. Vanamonde93 (talk) 04:10, 2 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
