[edit] Christian Coulson

There's really nothing that is useful. The fact that he plays Tom Riddle is already in the Harry Potter pages. I don't think saying "He's an actor that played some guy in some movie" is enough information to qualify for his own page. --Matjlav 23:25, 23 July 2005 (UTC)

• Obvious Keep - He is a real actor who was played in 7 or 8 tv mini-series and several movies. Lots of actors have pages on wikipedia. Dalf | Talk 04:55, 26 July 2005 (UTC)
• Weak keep - Article definately needs a rewrite though. Redwolf24 05:34, 28 July 2005 (UTC)
• Strong keep - Notable actor. Laur 14:34, 29 July 2005 (UTC)
• Weak Keep. I'm with Redwolf in that this needs a re-write, but as long as he's still (semi-) famous for playing in the Harry Potter movies (no small feat, mind you) he deserves an article. -mysekurity 22:42, 30 July 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. Plenty of other actors of similar or lesser notability have articles here. Peter Farago 03:42, 8 August 2005 (UTC)
• I vote to keep the page Keep, but why is this still in votes for deletion. It has been past five days. from User:129.170.160.216 (do non-registered users vote?)
• Strong keep. He's not an extra, for Pete's sake; he's a multiply credited actor, albeit a minor one. There are many Harry Potter pages that desrve deletion (minor objects, spells, characters), but CC should be allowed to have a page describing his filmography.J. Goard 19:42, 8 August 2005 (UTC)
• Keep, quite notable enough. Hall Monitor 21:24, 10 August 2005 (UTC)
• Speedy Keep. I didn't bother to look at the pre-rewrite version, but the current version is a decent bio of a notable (not major, but notable) actor. Robert A West 14:53, 11 August 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Comments

do not put votes below this line

Note: this was never listed on the main VFD page, so I've listed it today. sjorford →•← 20:32, 10 August 2005 (UTC)

I rewrote the page and it should read better. I don't think you can get away with saying he is just an actor that played some guy in some movie. He's an actor who has played one of literatures most famous villians in one of Hollywoods most successful film adaptation.

Sorry about the state of the article. It was one sentence when it got put up for deletion, so I just dumped a partial filmography into it to show that there was enough to warrent an article. If I get a few minutes next week ill have a look at other biographical pages and see if I can format it and flesh it out some (unless (hopefully) someon else does first).

I spent a few hours already looking for biographical information. I think this is the best information out there. But I spent a lot of time on it, and I think it is a much better article.
