[edit] Rad Pera

Actor who apparently had a number of small roles in some TV shows. 25 googles. NN. Radiant! 10:13, Mar 9, 2005 (UTC)

• Delete with a possible speedy. Apart from being not notable, it looks like most of the biography is lifted (with slight paraphrasing) from [IMDB.com]. RidG (talk) 10:48, Mar 9, 2005 (UTC)
• Keep actor with recurring major roles on more than one national network TV series, plus lots of guest spots. Copyright issue possible, but no notability problems. We need to figure out how much rewording is necessary before a bio paragraph is considered a new work. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 18:12, Mar 9, 2005 (UTC)
• Comment the IMDb biography is written by Rad Pera himself, and the original author of this article is anonymous. No evidence whether this article itself is vanity, but if he was vain enough to write his own bio for IMDb, then maybe... --Angr 20:09, 9 Mar 2005 (UTC)
• Neutral: I was just going to write exactly what Angr wrote above. For reference, here's the IMDB entry. At the very least, if this article is kept, it should be moved to Radames Pera. --Deathphoenix 20:42, 9 Mar 2005 (UTC)
• Keep, this is the horizon IMO. Wyss 01:20, 10 Mar 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. Radiant!, how could you? —RaD Man (talk) 22:45, 4 Mar 2005 (UTC) 02:15, 10 Mar 2005 (UTC)
• Delete, just under the bar of notability, possible vanity. Megan1967 06:36, 10 Mar 2005 (UTC)

As I said, the horizon :) (could be vanity... could be helpful to someone who wants to know more about this actor though) Wyss 15:29, 10 Mar 2005 (UTC)

• Keep and move to "Radames Pera." I remember him from the old "Kung Fu" series. He played the young Caine in flashbacks. Article needs work, though. - Lucky 6.9 01:37, 13 Mar 2005 (UTC)
