[edit] Jake Dinwiddie

This was originally speedy-deleted as a copyvio of IMDb. DRV overturned, mindful of the rule in Feist v. Rural that the copyright on compilations of public information is minimal. (I'm not sure the first edits of the article satisfied Feist, as they were in a style similar to IMDb, possibly betraying an infringement of the IMDb's "creative" element; the current revision is not similar at all, and does satisfy Feist.) Anyway, the question remains whether the actor meets WP:BIO. This is a procedural listing, so I abstain. Xoloz 14:41, 14 May 2007 (UTC)

  • Delete. Everybody who has an entry at imdb doesn't need to be here. This actor has a few guest spots on episodic tv and some minor film roles. Not notable. Corvus cornix 23:02, 14 May 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete, no notability. One obscure nomination is not notability. And a copyvio dispute? Please, who has the time? --Dhartung | Talk 10:13, 15 May 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep The copyright issue is settled, it really was a misunderstanding to start with. As for the rest, two cinema films, three TV movies, nine other TV appearances, and an award nomination is not exactly the heights of fame, i will agree, but I think it is above the bar for basic notability, particularly since this actor's career is obviously in progress, and the entry may be expected to expand in future. Noter also that before this article was created it was a redlink on a number of articles where this actor is listed as a cast member. DES (talk) 15:38, 16 May 2007 (UTC)
    • What links here shows two Charmed episodes and the two Au Pair movies. That's it. Corvus cornix 18:14, 16 May 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete eminently non-notable actor --Steve (Stephen) talk 04:53, 17 May 2007 (UTC)
