Fails WP:NACTOR. Despite being saved at last nomination, there are few independent sources where the subject is the focus of the article. Also fails WP:FILMMAKER. Flat Out let's discuss it 05:15, 31 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Although I know next to nothing about Australian TV dramas, I do know how to do a Google search, and I am also aware that the nominator knows Australia well. It seems that this fellow had minor roles on three notable TV series, and once made a short film. That's not enough. Cullen³²⁸ Let's discuss it 05:40, 31 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. I agree that he is not notable as an actor. What he did do is is write direct and produce Salute (2008 film) which is notable. At the least this article should be merged/redirected there. duffbeerforme (talk) 22:53, 31 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - the film doesn't seem to meet WP:MOVIE and Norman doesnt meet WP:FILMMAKER Flat Out let's discuss it

For Salute have a look at some reviews linked here. Eg [1] (appeared in the print version of The Age, not just that blog.) [2] [3]. Also a full length article in Hawker, Philippa (15 July 2008). "Salute to a champion". The Age. duffbeerforme (talk) 02:50, 1 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Ok thanks. How then does Norman meet WP:FILMMAKER Flat Out let's discuss it 04:28, 1 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

he might not, so redirect or merge instead of deleting. duffbeerforme (talk) 00:02, 2 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

happy to support redirect if that is your vote. Flat Out let's discuss it 00:18, 2 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.
