  • Delete as insufficiently notable actor; Google search provided scant results. Quis separabit? 02:26, 10 August 2017 (UTC) reply

  • To be fair, potential sources are far more likely to be written in Greek rather than any language that uses the Latin alphabet, so nominator's failure to find Google results isn't determinative in and of itself — although I'm at a total loss to evaluate them for reliability or lack thereof, the number of Google hits explodes if you search on "Κώστας Καρράς" instead of "Kostas Karras". But this does make a claim — "was a member of the Hellenic Parliament from 2000 to 2007, representing the New Democracy party" — that passes WP:NPOL #1 if it can be verified (it's not enough to just claim it without a source, because we have seen cases where article topics were falsely claimed to have held political offices they didn't actually hold.) So it will need to be kept if somebody who can read the Greek sources can find one which verifies that he actually did hold that role, but can certainly still be deleted (albeit without prejudice against future recreation) if that's not provided.

  • Keep: I added a reference which confirms the subject as a parliamentarian, so meeting WP:POLITICIAN criterion 1, aside from his acting career. AllyD ( talk) 06:54, 17 August 2017 (UTC) reply
  • Comment Something of a celebrity in Greece: [1], [2], [3] and many more. Google Translator is pretty terrific. 84.73.134.206 ( talk) 20:11, 17 August 2017 (UTC) reply
  • Keep: A very popular Greek actor, also involved in the main stage of Greek politics, as he was twice elected MP (2000-2007); cf To Vima of May 6, 2012. —— Chalk19 ( talk) 19:58, 18 August 2017 (UTC) reply
