Lots of minor roles, but no major ones means that this fails WP:NACTOR. Does not appear to meet WP:GNG either. The most significant coverage appears to be [1] (and an internet search returns some similar interviews in other Norwegian publications, where the subject is asked to speak primarily about their co-stars). Such coverage was deemed insufficient at the last AfD for this subject, but since the subject has played at least two roles since the previous AfD, rather than CSDing the recreated article, I'm bringing it here (although one role is as the lead of a not-terribly-notable cartoon, and the other is a minor role in a Norwegian TV show, and neither appear to have generated any additional coverage about the subject so I'm still leaning toward delete). _signed,Rosguill ^talk 16:59, 13 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Clearly passes WP:NACTOR, Was in the main cast of Thunderbirds_Are_Go_(TV_series), major role in A Hologram for the King, RECURRING role on Thomas & Friends, 17 episodes in Bob the Builder, 52 episodes in Floogals, 5 episodes in Lykkeland. 22 episodes in the Top Ten show, 13 episodes in Hilda, leading role in Clothes & Blow, main cast in Invited for Dinner, voice of Malos in Xenoblade Chronicles 2. In Florence Foster Jenkins, Menkin plays a theater critic who is in the encourage of the main character of the film (Florence). I mean this guy is notable. Plus the sources provided are sufficient. Worst case scenario is this will be a redirect to Thunderbirds. This should not be deleted. JC7V (talk) 18:39, 13 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I'll point out the last AFD was in 2015, and he's had more roles since then. The outcome of that AFD was debatable too. There were 2 Keeps, 1 redirect, and 3 deletes (including the nom's delete vote). JC7V (talk) 18:44, 13 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Withdraw by nom additional sources demonstrate notability, particularly [2]. _signed,Rosguill ^talk 14:14, 15 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
