Brien Perry (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

Non-notability per WP:BIO. Minor actor with a number of small roles in television shows. None of the movies he has been in appear notable.

  • Delete per nom. I know it's a tough decision when he played such unforgettable characters as "Pledge #4" and "Director of Sound Waves", but you have to draw the line somewhere. (However, he does look rather fetching in that striped dress.) Clarityfiend (talk) 16:27, 5 January 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete - as per nom. Like Clarityfiend I'm reluctant to dispose of the nameless paramedic from the Bold and the Beautiful, but what can you do? Xdenizen (talk) 23:43, 5 January 2008 (UTC)
  • Keep His IMDB Pro score shows that he is notable in the entertainment industry. He's had several significant roles (i.e. April Moon), as well as guest roles on many others (i.e. JAG, Friends). I will add some of the references I found. TGreenburgPR (talk) 19:13, 6 January 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete per nom. How is April Moon notable? It doesn't have its own article (nor do any of Perry's films) and its stars don't appear to be anyone recognizable. (Their own latest credits appear to be one-off TV appearances and other small films. -Lciaccio (talk) 20:51, 8 January 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete - a list of minor roles, and unable to find any articles / reviews about him to establish notability -- Whpq (talk) 00:36, 9 January 2008 (UTC)
  • Comment (Negative): This is just Vanispamcruftisement, IMHO ... the only "references" are links to show that the subject was in the cast of one or more episodes of a TV show ... an IMDb listing and a MySpace page are not Reliable sources ... see also: Elle Travis and Lindsay MacFarland, which are themselves up for deletion ... Happy Editing! —72.75.72.63 (talk · contribs) 15:01, 10 January 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete. No clear indication that he has played a significant role in any notable film, as required by our WP:BIO criteria. I looked in Metacritic for 'Trapped in Perfection', which is listed as either a 2006 or 2007 release, but did not find it there. Googled for "Trapped in perfection" "Brien Perry" and could not find any published reviews. If you go to http://movies.toptenreviews.com it ranks Perry as 131,000th out of 170,000 actors, though I'm not sure what this ranking was based on (apparent celebrity?).EdJohnston (talk) 22:31, 10 January 2008 (UTC)
