Unref BLP. When looking for sources, I couldn't find sufficient to indicate he is notable. Boleyn (talk) 21:27, 2 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete per nom. Fails WP:CREATIVE. I'm afraid I can't remember what inspired me to create this article the best part of 20 years ago, but I seem to have been mistaken in doing so. Tevildo (talk) 21:42, 2 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  I don't think so. But do you remember where you found that long quote that's in the article, by any chance? (Added a few sources). -My, oh my! (Mushy Yank) 16:27, 3 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  I speculate that it was from a (subsequently-deleted) review on IMDb, as otherwise I'd have put a link to the source. However, I have no actual memory of the event. Tevildo (talk) 17:31, 4 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
