Comment: I just added an actor stub tag to the article. I suggest waiting a reasonable amount of time to see if anyone responds and adds to the article. If it isn't expanded to the point of indicating sufficient notability, then I suggest merging it into the Citizen Kane article, if the info isn't there already.

  • Smerge and redirect to Citizen Kane. I'm on the fence since -- although his screen time was brief -- the importance of his appearances was great and this is arguably the best American film of all time. On the other hand, there's almost nothing online about him beyond listings equivalent to IMDB, and that includes the mentions in Google Books. Almost all his other roles are uncredited, except for some minor films as an adult. --Dhartung | Talk 06:45, 19 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Weak Keep I found some secondary sources mentioning the person. They are: [1], [2], [3], [4]. While they are shallow, the abundance of them might establish some notability. Also, playing the child form of the lead character is considerably significant.--Kylohk 12:09, 21 July 2007 (UTC)
    • Most reviews of a film will give due credit to the actors in a movie. It's common courtesy. None of the links above make more than a passing mention of Buddy Swan.--Legalnote 02:12, 25 July 2007 (UTC)

Delete Just putting my vote down. Should have done it earlier.--Legalnote 02:13, 25 July 2007 (UTC)
