The article as it stands is messy and bitty. Most of the information is trivial, and would be best dealt with by gathering it together into lists of roles (organised by major/minor, voice/live, or something along those lines. Precise dates are unnecessary (a year is enough). Mel Etitis (Μελ Ετητης) 14:51, 17 Jun 2005 (UTC)

An article about a person that ends up as a list would end up in "Votes for deletion" realy fast. The current form allows for links to the films and series which have their own articles and expanded summarries for those which have not. The precise dates are given for the chronological placement in the article. Keaton has had years with a single role and years with several ones.

As the list would preserve all useful information, you seem to be saying that this belongs on VfD. If everything important can be fited into a list, perhaps it does — but I'd rather find a way to keep it while making it a decent article. At the moment, it isn't decent; it's incredibly tedious, being a list padded out to look like an article. Is there really nothing of intersst to say about him?

Incidentally, it's "recurring", not "reccuring". Mel Etitis (Μελ Ετητης) 15:42, 17 Jun 2005 (UTC)
