First off, he does not pass the notability guidelines for actors. As the opening paragraph admits all of his roles were minor. This kills almost all chances of passing actor notability, and there is not coverage of him as an actor to overcome that. Then we turn to the sources. The first is IMDb, which is both meant to be exhasutive while Wikipedia is not, and is not a reliable source. The other is a wiki devoted to Star Trek, which is even less a reliable source.

• Delete - Even the article says he has acted "always as minor characters" - rules out WP:NACTOR right there (I admit I laughed out loud when I read it). There is simply no independent, reliable, significant coverage of the subject that I have found. Jmertel23 (talk) 19:41, 27 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
• Comment. There is a potential for confusion as there were two actors working in the same period (1950s to 1970s) known as George Sawaya. The other one, who typically worked under the stage name, George Murdock (actor), received extensive coverage like this and this. I am not finding such coverage for the former.

• Delete Fails WP:GNG and also fails WP:NACTOR as none of the roles done are significant.Pharaoh of the Wizards (talk) 21:14, 31 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
