promotional and non-notable Ref one is a trivial mention, The other refs refer to a trivial local promotional honor. DGG ( talk ) 00:42, 5 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - notability exists. Agree, with tone being promotional which should be fixed. He is the recipient of an award-cum-resolution from the NY Senate per this. Meets WP:ANYBIO. 174.93.92.251 (talk) 03:34, 5 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Delete I do not think the award from the legislature is enough to show notability, and the sourcing does not provide the coverage at a level we need to justify an article. Just because you get recognition from a legislative body does not mean you are notable. I have a great uncle who was an academic administrator, who had a school named after him, and who Nevada designated a day in his honor, but I am sure he is not notable. Government honors that are not actually highly restrictive are not enough to show notability, and I do not think the honor mentioned above is enough to show notability.John Pack Lambert (talk) 18:04, 5 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Keep meets WP:ANYBIO. His award from the NY Senate seems very selective and isn't awarded graciously as suggested above, [1]. He is also an actor which furthers his notability above the line and make him pass WP:GNG, [2]. 08:56, 19 July 2022 (UTC)65.92.160.108 (talk)
Keep per above Andrevan@ 00:29, 24 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Delete "Man of the year" isn't notable for our purposes, he gives money to charity. As do many others in his position.Oaktree b (talk) 00:17, 27 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. No substantial coverage in sources. The state award is not a prominent one and looks like a thing politicians do to reward campaign donors or friends. Sandstein 12:13, 4 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per Andrevan (seems like they are better versed with NY topics). Notable as an architect, in addition to his notability as an actor and philanthropist. Additional coverage found ([3], [4], [5], [6], [7], [8]). 159.196.31.83 (talk) 13:13, 4 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Lacks in-depth coverage to meet WP:NBIO. MrsSnoozyTurtle 08:49, 5 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Found a relevant case study. 199.115.163.26 (talk) 15:22, 6 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
