[edit] Kevin Durand

Bottom half is pretty much a copy from IMDB [1], and if he's most famous for a bit part in an unsuccessful TV show, then he fails WP:BIO. SteveLamacq43 16:03, 23 October 2006 (UTC)

• This AfD nomination was incomplete. It is listed now. DumbBOT 16:52, 23 October 2006 (UTC)

• Weak keep with cleanup; he's got over 30 credits on IMDB, including both movies and television. Otherwise Merge with Dark Angel (TV series) — appearances in fifteen episodes of a show that only lasted three seasons suggests more than a "bit part". Xtifr _tälk 05:34, 24 October 2006 (UTC)
• Delete: his one main role, whilst more than a bit part, is not enough to pass WP:BIO. Also, it is clearly taken from IMDB. DavyJonesLocker 21:37, 24 October 2006 (UTC)
• Keep: He was a major character on Dark Angel, albeit one whose introduction has been blamed for causing the show to jump the shark, and it's possible a fan of Dark Angel (or one of the other shows he guest starred in) might want to find out more about the person behind the role. --Groggy Dice 03:59, 26 October 2006 (UTC)
• Keep DXRAW 02:58, 29 October 2006 (UTC)
• Delete: Doesn't abide by the following:
  • Multiple features in popular culture publications such as Vogue, GQ, Elle, FHM or national newspapers
  • A large fan base, fan listing or "cult" following
  • An independent biography
  • Name recognition
  • Commercial endorsements. BertieBasset 13:02, 29 October 2006 (UTC)

 AFD relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so that consensus may be reached.

• Keep and tag for cleanup. IMDB history shows numerous parts which rise above the level of walk-on. Merge to Dark Angel also works but does not require Super Powers^TM. Guy 12:36, 3 November 2006 (UTC)
• Weak Keep I did some clean up, removed the blatant copyvios and added a few more credits gleaned from his imdb entry. Dina 12:51, 3 November 2006 (UTC)
• Keep per JzG and other commenters above. Yamaguchi先生 04:47, 4 November 2006
• Keep per above, but don't merge. --badlydrawnjeff talk 16:27, 4 November 2006 (UTC)
• Keep Has lots of notable credits. --Oakshade 05:55, 5 November 2006 (UTC)
