Delete - permanent stub for a non-notable performer. Does not meet notability guidelines in general or the specific entertainment guideline. Harley Hudson (talk) 13:53, 29 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Tentative keep - there's quite an impressive credit list on IMDB. I don't know whether this fulfills WP:NACTOR statement 'Has had significant roles in multiple notable films, television shows, stage performances, or other productions'Asnac (talk) 14:54, 29 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I looked at IMDB before nominating and honestly the credits aren't impressive. I don't see leading roles or much beyond parts like "Agent #3", "Doctor" and "Boyfriend". None of his roles appear to rise to the level of significance contemplated by NACTOR. I doubt anyone thinking of, say, Hannah Montana is going to have fond memories of Macintosh's one-off role as "Agent Kaplon" or that his single-episode appearance as "Mitch Crawford" on CSI: Miami attracted any critical or popular attention.

Keep If I were to go soley by filmography, he it is a weak keep. He WP:GNGs adequately.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 08:29, 30 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Can you point to some independent reliable sources that offer significant coverage of this person? Because all I'm finding are mentions in conjunction with some project or others along the lines of "Treasure Hunters is hosted by Laird Macintosh".

Keep. While most of his credit list is unimpressive, I think the combination of hosting one broadcast network reality series and being a member of the Groundlings should be enough to satisfy WP:ENT. And his recurring gig on Leno's prime time show was memorably awful. Hullaballoo Wolfowitz (talk) 22:28, 3 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.
