Reason The subject of this article may not satisfy WP:NACTOR and WP:GNG, the references of the article does not establish the notability of this actor. AadaamS (talk) 22:49, 10 February 2015 (UTC)

- Keep easily passes WP:NACTOR with roles such as in Dollhouse and The Cabin in the Woods, referencing could use some work.--kelapstick(bainuu) 22:01, 14 February 2015 (UTC)
- Here are a few interviews by not insignificant outfits, I would suggest they assert notability:
- Fran Kranz on Joss Whedon and Broadway’s ‘You Can’t Take It With You’ in Variety
- Another one in Playbill, not exactly "hard hitting" but significant none the less
- Yet another in Rolling Stone. --kelapstick(bainuu) 22:11, 14 February 2015 (UTC)

Keep I would assert the actor has a strong enough cult following to warrant WP:NACTOR as his position in the plot of Dollhouse was integral to the climax of the story. His characterization of the Fool in "The Cabin in the Woods" is comparable to Bruce Campbell's start with Evil Dead. Co-starring with Chris Hemsworth, Nathan Fillion and Phillip Seymour Hoffman is not insignificant, and his fans have noticed his peculiar brand of humor on screen.--Flipward(talk) 08:37, 17 February 2015 (UTC)
- Thanks for your input. The notability of Bruce Campbell, Hemsworth, Fillion and PSH can't be inherited by Fran Kranz. In order to prove his notability, you must provide references he is notable in his own right, not names of other notable actors. FK is lucky to have devoted fans but the issue of this AfD is whether FK is generally notable. AadaamS (talk) 09:51, 17 February 2015 (UTC)

- Note I deleted the Notability template from the main page today, March 4, 2015, based on the above discussion. Seems to have been a simple oversight, since this issue was discussed and concluded during the past month.Juneau Mike (talk) 16:56, 4 March 2015 (UTC)
