Subject does not appear to meet WP:GNG. Only the unreliable IMDb is used, which isn't by itself enough to warrant an article, and any other sources found are subpar and/or don't go into much depth on him. SNUGGUMS (talk / edits) 19:34, 6 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete - Seems to have only had minor roles. Fails WP:GNG and WP:NACTOR. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 12:29, 8 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
• Hmm that is all terrifically minor but as far as I'm concerned should add up to notability, even though by a thin margin. Weak keep, with thanks to E.M. Gregory's work. Drmies (talk) 14:31, 13 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep WP:HEY the Hal Erickson book I just added, after Drmies made his comment, puts it over the top. Minor roles, minor attention paid, plus minor attention paid to singer-songwriter career. It is useful to readers to be able to identify minor actors in films.E.M.Gregory (talk) 14:33, 13 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

• Though the Hal Erickson book offers a fair amount of depth, Courier-Tribune gives less than a cumulative paragraph on him (not enough for WP:SIGCOV), and I can't really assess the Globe and Mail citation as it requires a login. Could you perhaps find something more accessible? One citation with significant coverage by itself isn't enough and it's hard to measure citations that need logins.

• Added source as requested by Nom. A book. More books and magazine and newspaper stories show up in searches. And, of course, paywalled sources are legitimate sources.E.M.Gregory (talk) 20:32, 13 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

• The additions do help. I'm not saying paywalled sources are bad, only that it's harder to assess their depth. Anyway, Days of Our Lives: A Complete History of the Long-Running Soap Opera only contains a very minor mention of him, but I'm with the Band: Confessions of a Groupie goes into much more detail and might be just enough for this page to be worth keeping unless anybody has objections over its credibility.
