Citing Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Argiris Karras as precedent, actors who are only notable for their appearance on "Degrassi: The Next Generation", and have little (ie. IMDb) to none sources, should be redirected to List of Degrassi: The Next Generation characters. I suggest that the redirects are indefinitely semi-protected, so that exuberant fans don't violate this discussion, and recreate the page. I am also nominating the articles listed below. 117Avenue (talk) 03:54, 12 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

merge to Cassie Steele until more roles are picked up for Alex Steele (if it can be verified they are sisters), otherwise Im fine with a merger to the List article as well for this case. Ottawa4ever (talk) 21:07, 12 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Alex's official site confirms it, as well as the IMDb link on Cassie's article. 117Avenue (talk) 21:27, 12 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Keep: I oppose deletion of this article because, contrary to the rationale stated above, Ruggiero is not only notable for his appearances on Degrassi; he is also a TV show host, and has starred in plays and films unrelated to Degrassi. The article could benefit from additional sources, but the existing sources are, I believe, adequate to establish notability. –BMRR (talk) 04:31, 12 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Keep: I agree with above comments that there are sufficient sources and work history for this actor's page to remain as is for now, and grow as his resume grows. Jul. 12, 17:31:14 UTC —Preceding unsigned comment added by Sdterp (talk • contribs) 17:32, 12 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
I rescind my nomination of Adamo Ruggiero, which was border line. He is recognized in Canada as someone who brought homosexuality into the minds of teenagers. I do encourage editors to expand the article. 117Avenue (talk) 18:19, 12 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Keep I think we should keep Sam Earle's also. I just updated missing information that do not have to do with Degrassi like short films and his stage work that went unmentioned, his charity work, him wanting to direct, I corrected his birth date, and much more. I also added more external links to back up my findings. This all was missing and I think fills it out better with more information and shows that he has done more than just Degrassi. These are all things that make him his own actor and why he should be able to keep his own Wiki page. DegrassiTNGFan (talk) 11:32, 22 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Procedural keep – I can understand why the nominator bundled all these articles together, but I think it's becoming clearer that these really need to be considered on a case-by-case basis. There are some good arguments for keeping a couple of them already. I chose another one of them randomly, Christina Schmidt, and see that she has apparently won a Young Artist Award (needs a citation), and found an article entirely about her in The Record [1] which has not yet been added. So each of these articles seem to need their own individual research, as happens in separate nominations. Paul Erik ^{(talk)(contribs)} 12:53, 22 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Keep and Look Into Each Person - I completley agree. If you look at each page you can see that there may not be a lot but they just need to be added. Some are, and some arn't but they all have more to offer than what there already is. For example, I spiced up Sam Earle 's page with a lot of things that wern't listed before. Same thing seems to be repeatedly happening with the others. I do feel like it would be better to not bundle them and consider them for a case-to-case bias as was said above if it is still felt as neccissary for a particular article^.^ DegrassiTNGFan (talk) 03:55, 23 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Keep and consider separately, per the above two comments. Stifle (talk) 12:58, 27 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
