I proposed the article for deletion but it was removed. WP:NACTOR states "Has had significant roles in multiple notable films, television shows, stage performances, or other productions". Also most of the article is unsourced and IMDb is not reliable per WP:IMDb. Sahaib3005 (talk) 06:51, 24 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Removing my !vote because of what Ssilvers said. I don't think I can properly determine WP:GNG. GoldMiner24 ^Talk 18:34, 24 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. The article says that he played Barnaby in a national tour of Hello Dolly! and Benjamin in the original US production of Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat, in addition to Tom Thumb in Barnum on Broadway. The problem is that his career peaked in the 70s, so reviews of his performances are probably hard to find online. His Broadway peformances are listed in IBDB (and probably also the National Tour). I don't think we should delete the article just because we are too lazy to find the references at the library. -- Ssilvers (talk) 17:17, 24 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. I'm finding a lot of coverage using Newspapers.com. He was profiled extensively in The Dancer Within: Intimate Conversations with Great Dancers by Rose Eichenbaum (available online at Open Library). I'm finding lots of coverage using Newspapers.com. Here are some early finds that are reasonable in-depth: Palm Beach Post 2001, LA Times 1997, Orem Geneva Times 1996, The Desert Sun 2009, and Baltimore Sun 1998.
