WP:BLP cites not one reliable source. A Google search finds no immediately available appropriate sources.  Sandstein  14:29, 27 December 2012 (UTC)[reply

  • Yeah, but these are one-sentence passing mentions, not enough by far to base a biographic article on.  Sandstein  02:47, 28 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • I don't disagree: such press mentions help address the basic BLP issue but fall short of demonstrating
    WP:NACTOR notability. AllyD (talk) 09:06, 28 December 2012 (UTC)[reply

  • Keep Rather prolific UK television actor. I did a search for his name and Wikipedia came up first. And then I found this deletion discussion. His being cast in Game of Thrones has resulted in its own significant fan base as well. Make an effort to get better sources. There's quite probably industry material out there that's not online. --Bastique ☎ call me! 00:48, 31 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
"Probably" isn't good enough. If you want to keep the article, you must look for and cite such sources, see
WP:BURDEN. Without reliable sources, we must not keep a biography of a living person.  Sandstein  03:14, 31 December 2012 (UTC)[reply

You seem to misunderstand what I've typed. I'm not arguing your rationale for the need for reliable sources. I'm not arguing with you at all. I don't even "want" to keep this article. I'm stating a fact that he passes the threshold of being notable and his biography deserves to be on Wikipedia. That means it's worth someone who is an active editor making the effort to look for reliable sources that almost certainly exist. That is also to say that I have no stake in keeping this article, so I don't care what the end result is. I'm not a very active editor any longer in the first place. And I am not going to go through the effort to find it myself. But anyone who discovers this page will know precisely what to do rather than going through the Brobdingnagian task of trying to understand Wikipedia policies or find themselves arguing with you when they don't have to. --Bastique ☎ call me! 04:22, 31 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep basic notability per the guideline WP:NACTOR, 48 roles over 14 year career, inculding same roll multiple times over 2 seasons on long term TV series The Bill, then there's pictured. Gnangarra 05:28, 31 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
