(correctly) declined, AfD was suggested, so we're here in lieu of PROD. Anderson has a
long career, but it seems to be all small roles with little to no coverage to establish that he's notable per any of the creative categories.
This is probably the best source and it's far from enough.

Keep. Hold on thar! The title role in Pippin is not a small role. Andre in Phantom is not that small a role. It is difficult to research RS's for Anderson because of the initials and common name "Anderson". I don't think this should be deleted unless someone does a thorough job to find more sources. --

Delete the sourcing is not there to justify inclusion. He has had significant roles, but it is less than clear that the productions he was in are notable. It is not enough to be appearing in a play that is notable, we need to show that his appearance was in a specific production of a play that was notable and that is not shown.

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus. Relisting comment: It should be noted that notability requires
wp:verifiable evidence.

Delete - This is admittedly a close call, but Anderson appears to be one of those journeymen actors who has compiled a long career but without too much featured notice. He has been on Broadway but in relatively small roles, and he has had larger roles but in relatively small productions. But in the end, what really matters is a shortage of
reliable and significant coverage that is actually about him in-depth, beyond listings and credits.
This and
This are about all I could find in terms of dedicated coverage, and they're still just brief softball introductions. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (
