Delete I looked for sources but couldn't find enough to show that he should have an article. This would need starting again anyway, as so much of it is definitely written by his agents. He has acted in several TV shows, it's true, but significant roles? I don't see it. MartinJones (talk) 12:05, 10 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Comment This is pretty bad puff-piece writing that extends beyond this article, see for example Thunderstone (TV series). The line "Christopher Elliott (who later appeared in Under Jakob's Ladder" gets a mention in the lead of the article, but Elliot is over 30 spots down the full cast list at imdb. Will probably call for deletion as well, I want to do due diligence on sources first, will try to look later. ValarianB (talk) 13:11, 10 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Recurring (6 appearances in a 52-episode run) small role in Thunderstone tv show, 2nd billing in Under Jakob's Ladder, relatively small film are the subject's high-water marks. Not enough there, not enough coverage in sources to justify a biographical article. ValarianB (talk) 14:29, 10 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - As above. Insufficient coverage in available sources to meet WP:NACTOR. --Jack Frost (talk) 23:40, 14 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - He does not seem to meet the notability criteria for WP:Entertainer. CAPTAIN RAJU (✉) 01:51, 17 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
