Ari Lehman

While I see how notability could be claimed, there are few to no reliable sources that substantiate actual significance. dci | TALK 19:06, 26 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The article is an English translation of the Swedish article about Ari Lehman. There is a German, a Spanish, a French, a Portuguese and a Swedish article about Ari Lehman, why not keep one in English also (especially since he is American)? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 85.226.147.67 (talk) 19:42, 26 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I would much like too keep this article. "There is no reason to have it" seems wrong. — Preceding unsigned comment added by John Larzoni (talk • contribs) 19:54, 26 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

No one stated that there is no reason to have it; the problem is that the subject's notability does not appear to be substantiated through third-party coverage. Also, WP:Notability (people)#Entertainers gives a decent overview of what's necessary in these types of articles. dci | TALK 19:56, 26 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - the fact that he played the first Jason is in dozens of print sources commenting on the moment when Jason emerges from the lake. How is that not notable? In ictu oculi (talk) 06:08, 28 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- His role in the movie really doesn't seem the subject of significant coverage. Something of an example of this can be shown by Googling "Ari Lehman". dci | TALK 01:14, 3 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. At the very least, given Lehman's well documented iconic role, a redirect to the Jason article is the go. The is some (admitedely not the best) coverage in Alesia, Tom (19 March 2009), "THE MAN BEHIND THE MASK ; HARD-ROCK BAND FIRSTJASON MILKS THE SLASHER ROLE", The Capital Times & Wisconsin State Journal - and - Tucker, Brian (11 April 2012), "First Jason to play Friday the 13th", Star-News. Another wekaer source "ORIGINAL JASON PENS HORROR TUNES", World Entertainment News Network, 30 May 2006 also mentions an upcoming article in "men's magazine" Blender. A stub or a redirect is appropriate here. duffbeerforme (talk) 11:41, 6 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to Jason Voorhees. All his notability seems based on this one role, and those interested in him are most likely curious about that role. Ducknish (talk) 22:51, 14 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- I'm inclined to doubt that anyone will look him up; also, I don't really know if redirecting an actor's name to that of a character is necessarily the best way to go about things. However, I have no real objection to a redirect if that is what consensus decides upon. dci | TALK 21:16, 16 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
