The result was redirect to California Dreams. Clear consensus that this doesn't rate a stand-alone article. Much confusion between delete and two different possible redirect targets. Overall, redirect seems to make the most sense because they're cheap and preserve the history. Going with California, which was mentioned more often and higher episode count. -- RoySmith (talk) 13:06, 15 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete - Aside from his 21 episodes of USA High, there's nothing to suggest better for WP:ENTERTAINER. SwisterTwister talk 06:26, 1 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep prominent role in 78 episodes of California Dreams, and 21 episodes of USA High, I think he passes notability guidelines.Atlantic306 (talk) 19:53, 1 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Notability guidelines about verifiable sourcing available, not about what you think is "notable". --IJBall (contribs • talk) 17:04, 13 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment: Dang, I'm torn here.... Between California Dreams and USA High, he clears WP:NACTOR. However, as someone who's worked on articles like those recently, I also know that independent coverage of these kinds of shows (let alone coverage of the actors on these shows!) is very scarce indeed. My guess is that, despite two starring roles, he does in fact fail WP:GNG and WP:BASIC... However, if this one gets deleted, Michael Cade absolutely will need to be AfD'ed too... --IJBall (contribs • talk) 17:04, 13 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
• Redirect to California Dreams as a compromise as I could say keep but this article is still questionable apart from that series, the best next thing is 21 episodes of a TV series, but this article is still questionable for independent notability.

• Delete, although Redirect would be fine as well. Clearly doesn't pass WP:GNG, and his credits don't rise to meeting WP:NACTOR either. While he clearly was one of the leads in California Dreams, he did not have a prominent role in his only other acting stint which even comes close to satisfying NACTOR, in USA High.
