[edit] Randy Oglesby

  • Delete. WP:NOT a collection of indiscriminate information, and it does not appear to meet the notability guidelines suggested in Wikipedia:Notability (fiction). I assume the actor's performances in question are adequately covered in the Wikipedia articles about the episodes he appeared in. — Mike •  16:49, 7 June 2006 (UTC)
Keep The article should be expanded, But he has appeard as an important charcter in a major TV show. Matthew Fenton (TALK - CONTRIBS) 16:51, 7 June 2006 (UTC)
  • comment If that's the case, then probably some of that needs to be incorporated in the article to assist the article in passing notability standards, especially by fans of the various shows who would understand the significance of the various parts listed on IMdB. As it stands, at first look the gentleman to me looks like a rather busy extra, but I'm not familiar with every single character listed in that filmography. — Mike •  17:27, 7 June 2006 (UTC)
  • Maybe so, but the path here isn't to delete; there's enough meat to go with here to further improve the article and it provides sufficient context to identify who and what this person is. Yes, the article needs more content. No, it should not be deleted because it doesn't have that content yet. Else, we'd be deleting huge numbers of articles. We start articles somewhere. I prefer starting articles with far more content; others choose other paths. --Durin 17:33, 7 June 2006 (UTC)
  • And if this was a brand-spanking new article, I'd have no problems with giving it time to grow and would agree that an AfD is premature. However, it was created last June. It's had a year to have been expanded by anyone. — Mike •  17:50, 7 June 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete, per Mike. A year is more than enough. It's a cruftstub. Let me know if it becomes anything else before the final day before this AFD closes and I might change my vote. I call this Realeventualism, and it's my Wiki version of Realpolitik. - Motor (talk) 19:54, 7 June 2006 (UTC)
    • I'll go one step further. If this article is significantly expanded, and I'm not available, and we're about to hit the AfD deadline, I grant authority to the individual doing the expansion to withdraw the AfD on my behalf. — Mike •  01:09, 8 June 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete unless expanded. (Concur with Motor. If it's significantly changed, let me know on my talk page.) — Arthur Rubin | (talk) 22:52, 7 June 2006 (UTC)
  • People, we have thousands upon thousands of stubs here on Wikipedia. There is no criteria for deletion of stubs if the subject in question is verifiable and notable. Given the IMDB profile for this actor, his status is clearly verifiable. Given the fact that he has appeared in a dizzying array of major network and cable television drama and comdedy series, his notability is not in question either. If this entry should go because it's too short, then you'd better fire up your delete buttons and prepare to use them tens of thousands of times over the next few weeks to make sure you delete every other stub that is short in length and not recently worked on. --Durin 01:40, 8 June 2006 (UTC)
  • There needs to be an assertion of notability in the article. It's not there, yet. — Arthur Rubin | (talk) 16:58, 8 June 2006 (UTC)
  • Yes, there is. You just apparently disagree that his role as Degra and having an IMDB profile makes him notable. --Durin 21:38, 8 June 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep obviously since he played Degra on Star Trek + long, impressive series of credits per IMDB. --JJay 02:49, 8 June 2006 (UTC)
