I'll say the same reason I proposed this article's deletion in the first place: Is he really notable enough? He has a disability and is on the Springer show - hardly good qualifacations, in my opinion. Plasma Twa 2 (talk) 20:33, 16 February 2008 (UTC)

  • Weak Keep seems to be rs coverage that might eke out a pass of WP:BIO Travellingcari (talk) 22:02, 16 February 2008 (UTC)
  • Keep hard to quantify exactly why, but this article passes my sniff test, The subject has a movie that was loosley written about him, he playes a fictionalized version of himself in that movie, he regularly appears on television. IMDB says his starmeter has recently gone up 35%... He has been rated in the bottom 3% of notable actors of all time... but that's at least on the list.[1] 13,800 ghits. I dunno. I say keep.

I don't know for sure, but I don't think IMDb is a reliable source on Wikipedia. That movie doesn't even have a article about it on Wikipedia, and even this article doesn't seem to be sure on whether or not it is a cult movie. Hardly notable. All he does on Springer is, really, walk up while people are talking (Which I have never understood why he does it). The security guards are more notable then he is, I think, and they don't have an article on them. I woudln't really call him an actor, either. Quite frankly, he is just a man with a disability who got a few breaks because of it. --Plasma Twa 2 (talk) 05:21, 20 February 2008 (UTC)
