Probable non-notable bio, seems to fail WP:BIO. Although he does have an IMDB profile (link is in the article), he seems to lack other significant sources (at least that are provided here), so currently fails WP:V. --AbsolutDan ^(talk) 16:15, 15 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep (weak). He fulfills the letter of having multiple press articles about him, judging by the sources at the end of the article. However, this guy is just barely off the floor of notability.--Wehwalt 16:30, 15 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment One, yes (the IMDB), but multiple? Link 2 is the movie's official website (which even a garage production can have), and the third is just a brief summary of the films shown on a particular day at Cannes, no mention of Ben there. --AbsolutDan ^(talk) 16:36, 15 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Point taken. I'll change my vote to delete--Wehwalt 16:48, 15 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete - not notable per WP:BIO, and I can't find anything noteworthy through Google or Google News. Jayden54 16:59, 15 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
• Comment I failed to mention that a previous revision of this article was about a completely different person named Ben. Please review this revision [1]. However, "the other Ben" seems to be even less notable than this one, so I doubt this will make much of a difference. --AbsolutDan ^(talk) 17:18, 15 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
• That is why I voted to keep. The mayor guy.--Wehwalt 17:23, 15 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Mayor guy? what mayor guy? the previous article is about a teenage guitar player. Bwithh 19:30, 15 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Somehow my comment for Bill Robertson, discussed higher up this page, wound up here. Probably my mistake.--Wehwalt 20:44, 15 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment Can the nominator clarify which person we're talking about here? Bwithh 19:30, 15 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The nomination was originally for the "current Ben" - the British actor/filmmaker. However neither appear notable and both should be deleted, IMO. If anyone feels that the "other Ben" is notable, however, I think a vote of "keep with a revert to the revision noted above" would suffice, no? My apologies for any confusion created here. --AbsolutDan ^(talk) 03:44, 16 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
