Unreferenced BLP, probably doesn't meet WP:BIO; subject requested deletion at Ticket:2009100610052675. I am neutral. Stifle (talk) 18:50, 6 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Keep, meets WP:BIO "Has had significant roles in multiple notable films" -Drdisque (talk) 20:06, 7 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. From looking throught the Google News results linked above it would seem that there's enough coverage in reliable sources for the subject to pass notability guidelines, and I can't see anything in the article that would raise any libel or privacy concerns.

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so consensus may be reached.

Relisting comment. Since the subject is requesting deletion, more feedback is needed before a call can be made on this one. --Ron Ritzman (talk) 00:44, 13 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. There's very little to add to Phil Bridger's comments, except that the GNews hits also indicate even more stage work demonstrating notability. (He's also well known for being (or having been) the longtime companion of Hayley Mills, which isn't itself particular evidence of notability, but has led to at least one memorable note by Mills herself [1].

Keep With respect to the subject requesting deletion of the article about himself, the article has been slowly growing since April 26, 2006 and has seen contributions from numerous editors. Has the subject been requesting deletion since then? Multiple sources exist toward the subject's award nomination and his notability in stage, film, and television. There is no apparent libel in the article, and since the subject is a public figure with coverage in reliable sources, there is no violation of privacy. The article now belongs to Wikipedia, so as long as careful heed is made toward mainating a proper BLP, a keep would seem proper. MichaelQSchmidt (talk) 02:22, 15 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
