Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Eru Potaka-Dewes
The three obituaries listed as sources in the article (which all clearly appear to be journalist-written rather than paid family obits) give him the depth of coverage in reliable sources needed to pass . And the nominator's insistence on deleting this adequately-sourced and brand new article (first by prod and now by AfD) strikes me as more than a little y, although the article creator is not a newcomer. In any case the nominator's claim that he was only known as an actor (not exactly a strong reason to delete) is also not true: he was also known as an activist. See e.g. http://www.highbeam.com/doc/1G1-172351669.html (Highbeam access required) which mentions him in the context of a set of 2007 police raids on known activists and in the context of a 1987 speech in parliament denouncing him for his activism
