non-notable actor. Played role of "John Lindsay" in six episodes of coronation street, and other minor TV roles. Animatronic Fruit Loop (talk) 21:00, 29 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

~~Weak~~ Keep - only a quick bit of research done... but from what I can see, he appears to pass WP:ENTERTAINER... - Adolphus79 (talk) 21:09, 29 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Obviously a notable actor. Himalayan 21:12, 29 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - First of all, a 6 episode reoccurring role isn't a "minor role", so the nomination is based on flawed premise. Second, there is life for an actor beyond TV - surely playing Captain Ahab in Moby Dick isn't a minor role in anyone's book. Finally and most importantly, the subject has significant coverage is multiple RS such as [1][2][3][4] and many others. --ThaddeusB (talk) 00:35, 30 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Weak keep - The relevant criterion is from WP:ENT, which is that he has had "significant roles in multiple notable films, television shows, stage performances, or other productions." He's certainly been in multiple notable television shows, the only question is whether the roles are themselves significant. In the absence of evidence to the contrary, I'm prepared to assume that at least two of them are. - DustFormsWords (talk) 02:36, 30 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Keep in addition to the television roles, there are a number of reviews for stage performances (e.g. - staring as Captain Ahab inCompass Theater's Moby Dick which was covered by several google news sources, including Manchester City Life). While researching sources to verify notability, it appears that his Corrie role satisfies #2 of WP:ENT as well "Has a large fan base or a significant "cult" following". --Jezebel'sPonyo ^shhh 14:22, 30 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Keep': Passes WP:ENT. Joe Chill (talk) 02:54, 1 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
