I don't think this person meets the notability guidelines. The coverage below (which substantiates that the person exists, but does not establish notability) doesn't do it, and there's nothing else out there. Sven Manguard Wha? 23:46, 20 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. I did a search and I couldn't find anything that would show that he passes WP:AUTHOR or WP:ACADEMIC. While he has written a few plays and seems to be a popular teacher to his students, that in itself isn't enough to establish notability per Wikipedia guidelines. I have a feeling that this might end up attracting some of his students, so I want to add the "not a vote" label to this in case they do show up.Tokyogirl79 (talk) 04:51, 21 December 2011 (UTC)tokyogirl79[reply]
Delete. I'm forced to agree with Tokyogirl; there's no indication that the subject passes either of those notability guidelines. Usual Caveats apply, however; it's possible that one of the subject's plays (or their academic work) might gain some notice in the future. UltraExactZZ ^Said~ Did 15:15, 21 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
