Hoax. The first AfD nomination was for lack of significant coverage, and was closed as no consensus, but there is a more serious problem with the article: the reason for lack of coverage is that there is no such actor. None of the references stand up; there was no character "Shane Swanson" in Hollyoaks; he is not in the cast lists of the films and programs he is supposed to have featured in; he has no IMDb entry. The article author Rank99 (talk · contribs) also created hoax articles Tom Prescillo (deleted) and Frankie Wicks (since redirected, now nominated at RfD).

Delete as a potential hoax. My searches are not finding anything either. K.e.coffman (talk) 02:36, 4 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: This looks to be a fairly blatant hoax - I can find nothing to substantiate any of this. Since this existed for over a year I guess I can add this to the hoax pages. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡) 04:58, 4 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I've archived it given the lack of proof that this person exists as an actor - or that any of his roles have either. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡) 10:09, 4 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
