Weak Delete. These reviews do not say much about Sparber's acting, except that he was threatening. The refs say things like "Adding to the comic relief are minor characters such as Big Jule (Herschel Sparber), who lives up to his name as a no-nonsense gambler who towers over the small-time New York “Guys.”"
2 Jule is a supporting character that is generally cast as a big, threatening guy. I didn't see any refs that give "substantial coverage" to Sparber's acting, and I am not convinced that any of his performances, or his roles in the aggregate, were encyclopedically significant. He certainly did not win a Tony or an Emmy and was not ever nominated for one, none of his TV roles were long-running, and none of his film roles seem significant. The appearance in a specialty voice actor encyclopedia is not persuasive, nor is an alumnus feature in his school paper. It would be more persuasive if his article were to explain the significance of any roles that are thought to be significant and if one could quote critics as saying that he was particularly effective in any of these smaller roles. The closest one, I'd say, is
this. If we do keep this article, I would suggest adding in a lot of the information about him
from this. --

Delete. The reviews linked above do not have significant coverage. The inclusion of his bio in a biographical dictionary of Disney voice actors because of his Disney role as "Security Guard" does not show notability. The alumnus profile is too self-interested in lauding school alumni. The five-question interview with the Maryland Theatre Guide proves too much in that their websites contains
plenty of these interviews with plainly non-notable people involved with Maryland theatre.
