[edit] James Newcomb

Not notable; a terrible article, no doubt copied from his acting resume, but the real problem is: he's an actor in regional theatre, a prof, and a regional expert on stage fighting. Notable? If you use the 'professor' notability test, I don't think he is much more notable than any professor of theatre.--Brianyoumans 23:09, 28 August 2006 (UTC)

  • Comment/Question Is there a notability standard for stage actors? This guy has 26 Nexis hits under "James Newcomb and Shakespeare", including a nice notice or two. If he were on the stage in New York, I would tag him as "strong keep" for certain. How much do we discount because he gets the review in Portland, Oregon instead? Uucp 23:33, 28 August 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete. This is just a resume, not an article. There is no specific test for stage actors that I'm aware of, but from the evidence presented he doesn't meet any of the general criteria at WP:BIO. Thryduulf 08:06, 6 September 2006 (UTC)
