[edit] Nat Cassidy
Deleted via PROD, but restored as a contested PROD per deletion review. Brought here as I feel that the merits of the article may need to be discussed; however, as this is a procedural nomination, I abstain. --Kinu t/c 19:27, 22 May 2007 (UTC)

- "Per me" doesn't really work here, since I didn't give a reason one way or another... --Kinu t/c 20:41, 22 May 2007 (UTC)
Delete per nom.--WaltCip 20:47, 22 May 2007 (UTC)
- Since the nom abstained, there is no "per nom" deletion criterion. Please come up with your reasons. Corvus cornix 23:14, 22 May 2007 (UTC)
Any thoughts on what can be done to add merit to article? Credits seem extensive and respectable in regional scene.
- Weak delete. Two reviews of his work in a production of Hamlet are the only sources on notability I have; a review wherein he's quoted and his page on Horror Unspeakable are the only other two links. Biggest problem might be of regional interest - he only seems to be notable locally. Are there sources that establish notability beyond one production of Hamlet, or something wider than that? If yes, I'll change my mind. --Dennis The Tiger (Rawr and stuff) 21:25, 22 May 2007 (UTC)
- Delete, no notability. Corvus cornix 21:46, 22 May 2007 (UTC)
- Delete This should have stayed prodded. How is the Hamlet reference notable? "His Hamlet was a huge local success1 and was filmed by the UA Channel. It continues to air on Tucson's channel 19." WP:BIO says: "With significant roles in notable films, television, stage performances, and other productions." How is a university production of Hamlet notable? It plays on cable broadcast. Whoppie do. My high school's production of Macbeth won a nationwide award in 1997 and it ran on the community access channel. Should I go making biographies for my former classmates? I don't think. One also cannot really rely on local theatre critics--many of them tend to gush on and on about how wonderful local actors are. The rest of the claims to notability are also dubious. --Kunzite 05:02, 24 May 2007 (UTC)
It should be noted, too, though, that Arizona Rep and Arizona Theatre Company are very reputable, to say nothing of the world premiere of a Steven Dietz play, working with Jon Jory, etc. I went to his band's Myspace page and he's got over 11,000 listens and seems to be popular in the NYC music scene. And many pictures--that Hamlet is pretty far from a video taped high school production on cable access. I'm not saying one way or another not to delete, but this entry strikes me more as just poorly written and documented (he has reviews on nytheatre.com and the Off-Off Broadway Review, it seems, too), rather than totally unnotable. --(random stranger who gets a kick out of reading AfD logs)
- Comment: Now that I re-read this article, it reads to me as if it was copied word-for-word from a Playbill. Corvus cornix 17:16, 26 May 2007 (UTC)
