Unable to find reliable, secondary sources which evidence the notability of this actor under WP:GNG. I believe some of the statements in the article are false. --j⚛e decker ^talk 04:05, 24 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

~~Weak Keep~~ to Delete-- The subject seems to be listed in the IMdB database [1] and is mentioned in the article for the dvd's release announcement here> [2]. However, when you do a research on the various projects listed there are very few of them that list him as being involved. This may be one of those cases where there is more self injected participation than actual participation? I am really on the fence with this one. After reviewing it and trying to verify I can assert that the titles do not exist and the subject does not meet notability standards.--Canyouhearmenow 11:37, 2 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- I wasn't very clear. Some of the listed films do not exist, moreover, it is unlikely that he participated in Kentucky Pride before he was born. --j⚛e decker^talk 14:26, 2 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  - You raise a very good point Joe Decker. This is why I said I was on the fence. I know he wasn't in Kentucky Pride for a fact, however, in many cases they could participate in various projects and go uncredited. I think this takes us right back to our original problem which would be notability. IF we cannot source the claims, then we have no other choice but to delete this article.Canyouhearmenow 15:22, 2 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    - Thanks, and most appreciated. --j⚛e decker ^talk 17:09, 2 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - What we have here is a mostly unverifiable mess. About the only thing that can be verified is having a credit in Crocodile Dundee. There is no substantial coverage about this actor that I can find. There is a claim for being known for the Kentucky Pride Film series of the 1990's. I can find no evidence for the existence of such a film series. None whatsoever. There is also the claim of hosting the game show "Imminent Answer" from the 70's 80's and 90's. For such a long running show, again, I can find no evidence even for its existence. This article fails one of Wikipedia's most fundamental policies of verifiability. I suspect that much of this article is actually made up. -- Whpq (talk) 16:22, 4 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Low level actor, who had a variety of very-minor roles and roles in extremely minor and unverifiable films.John Pack Lambert (talk) 18:58, 7 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
