The result was no consensus. Regarding the opinion of the participants in this debate, I see no consensus here for deletion, so any deletion would need to be hard-policy based. Regarding policy, my concern here is that the sole source cited in the article is IMDB, and that source is at best semi-reliable. However, that the subject is the twin brother of Brendon can be reliably sourced [1], and his career also appears to be reliably sourcable [2], and in line with the IMDB entry. There is also a tv.com source here. In my view, there does not appear to be any BLP problems which cannot be easily fixed. Regarding the merge suggestion, I will abstain from doing so, since that would mean redirecting Mr. Donovan to his brother's article. From a "respect the subject" perspective, I think it is more respectful to have a short bio on someone, than to define the person as nothing more than the brother of someone famous, but that discussion is for the talkpage.

[edit] Kelly Donovan
The twin brother of Nicholas Brendon, who played Xander on Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Mostly worked as Brendon's stunt double, though he did appear in an episode where Xander was split into two identical people. All in all, though, he doesn't seem notable enough.

- Weak Keep: individual appears to meet notability per WP:BIO. More information available at http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0233010/. Mh29255 (talk) 16:02, 29 May 2008 (UTC)
- Weak Delete I looked at the IMDB entry, looks like a brief succession of non-"featured" minor roles. Townlake (talk) 16:21, 29 May 2008 (UTC)
- Merge or Delete; Being a body double in a TV show isn't exactly notable, and it can easily be merged to his brother's article.--Prosfilaes (talk) 18:26, 29 May 2008 (UTC)
