[edit] Tom Massmann

This article was prod'ded, and I don't necessarily disagree, but considering that it was deprodded once, I felt being it to AFD was appropriate. The concerns as stated by the prodder are: "article lists membership in Writers Guild of America, west -- no such membership exists [1], article lists membership in Screen Actors Guild -- no such membership exists [2]. Subject is not notable under the WP:BIO guidelines. Basically the guy is a local actor and video producer. No sources cited. Veracity of claims questionable given that on IMdb database, subject lists General Hospital credits dating back to his birth (obviously he is taking credit for another person's work)[3].

This seems possibly true to me, though there may be some other people with the name, so it could be I'm missing something. FrozenPurpleCube 03:36, 23 August 2007 (UTC)

  • Delete as the lack of sources do not support notability. I'd certainly reconsider if additional reliable sources were located. --ElKevbo 04:33, 23 August 2007 (UTC)
  • Very weak delete. Verified the theater director claims at [4], film distribution company at [5] and the Mr. Dungbeetle claims at [6][7][8][9][10]. Clearly the article needs to be fixed though—it looks like the IMDB entry on him was vandalized and is unreliable. Still, I can't help but feeling that none of it really matters, so it probably should be eliminated. MrPrada 07:09, 23 August 2007 (UTC)
Comment Actually, the IMDB page only counts 5 episodes of General Hospital from 2006. Cheers, :) Dlohcierekim 12:47, 23 August 2007 (UTC)
