Delete, Article about living person has no sources whatsover. Therefore notability has not been established. There are copyright issues as well, as the run-on material has clearly been copy/pasted from another website. Yworo (talk) 22:37, 28 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep It is a bit tricky to find references because his name is so common, there is a different Michael White who is an entertainment journalist, and his career peaked before the Internet. However, here are some reliable sources:
• Broadway Hit Shows Spark London's Summer Theater, Daily News, July 11, 1984
• London gets naughtier by the show, Montreal Gazette, August 7, 1983
• Chorus Line Having Difficulties In London, Palm Beach Post, January 23, 1977
• Lower Production Costs Mean Lower London Ticket Prices, Lewiston Daily Sun, November 6, 1984
• Show Doesn't Go On In London, Daily News, March 15, 1983
• He is notable, so the article shouldn't be deleted. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Cullen328 (talk • contribs) 06:40, March 1, 2011
• Keep. The nomination statement is incorrect, in that this had references to three sources when nominated. Loads more such sources can be found by Google Books and News archive searches for the subject's name along with the titles of his productions. Phil Bridger (talk) 08:55, 1 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep per incorrect nomination statement. User:Phil Bridger makes the correct assessment in that even cursory research finds this individual easily notable through WP:GNG and WP:CREATIVE. While yes, the article needs work, what is required is that it be done, and not a deletion of an article on a notable individual. Schmidt, ^{MICHAEL Q.} 21:52, 2 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
