The result was keep. I see a consensus to Keep this article. LizRead!Talk! 07:48, 6 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Non-notable dead actor with no significant lead roles. Has had requests for sourcing for 15 years with zero improvement. Macktheknifeau (talk) 20:11, 27 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Keep A proper stub about a recurring supporting player with a heartless rationale; I tend to be prejudiced with nominations of this type that start with 'non-notable dead actor'. Show some more tact and respect in deletion rationales in the future. Nate•(chatter) 22:51, 27 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
None of your post has anything to do with addressing his lack of notability. Macktheknifeau (talk) 10:01, 28 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Macktheknifeau and the fact that an article subject is dead, has nothing to do with notability either. LizRead!Talk! 05:00, 29 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Being dead does have much to do with his notability, because it makes it practically impossible that he would suddenly gain notability now. Macktheknifeau (talk) 10:54, 29 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Keep: Tons of sources on ProQuest. From School Library Journal reviews, ProQuest211681802 "superbly narrated by Tom Stechschulte, whose gift for dialect and for conveying the essence of the characters is nothing short of pure magic.", and ProQuest211687754 "Narrator Tom Stechschulte brings each character to life with his excellent renditions of their voices and personalities" and this review by the Chicago Tribune are some examples.

I added some sources but between ProQuest and Newspapers.com it's a lot to wade through because of his long career. S0091 (talk) 18:15, 2 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus. Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, The Herald (Benison) (talk) 01:54, 4 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. The main activity of his career was in a time period where there won't be a lot of internet hits for more in depth pieces. Given the stuff mentioned above + looking on proquest myself, he seems notable. PARAKANYAA (talk) 02:59, 4 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
