Not notable enough, birthday doesn't appear to published anywhere, all text in the article is copied and pasted from another website (see the article's talk page) • S • C • A • R • C • E • 00:59, 21 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep: Fairly extensive news coverage (e.g. Gnews hits here). I will add some sourced material to replace the paraphrased text. Gonzonoir (talk) 15:05, 21 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- FWIW, if the copyvio material was your major concern, it would have been a good idea to address it through the procedure set out at Wikipedia:Copyright problems (since other material in the article wasn't copyrighted, and the article didn't meet the speedy deletion criterion, removing the offending material was the best decision).

- Note. The only news coverage there is, is for Eclipse • S • C • A • R • C • E • 17:40, 21 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Several of the sources I've added refer to his earlier films and don't cover Eclipse at all. Gonzonoir (talk) 18:03, 21 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep Notable enough. ChildofMidnight (talk) 19:08, 21 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep/Delete. I guess it isn't worthy of deletion but it appears his only notable roles were in Australia • S • C • A • R • C • E • 20:38, 21 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- We don't have any rules to the effect that things that happen in Australia aren't important. Gonzonoir (talk) 08:18, 22 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Sorry, that was a bit snottier than I meant it to be, but you get the drift: we have FAs and GAs on actors whose work has been filmed in a single country. His Australian films have received international attention - at Cannes, and the Tribeca and Berlin film festivals (see this news article). The guy doesn't appear just to be a local celebrity.
