Deletion of Zanta

Comment: article asserts notability, is carefully referenced and supported by reliable sources, and possesses a neutral point of view. The central argument in favour of deletion is that Zanta fails notability. Due to the nature of Zanta, he does not '''neatly''' fall into any of the categories in . However  is not an exclusionary list, and Zanta should be considered an actor who has had numerous media appearances.
