[td]*:::::::And for shows that have been lost to pop memory, cameo runs are clearly not uncontroversial since this allows for false additions. He was well known that I recognize a few of his appearances, but no way that the others can be easily checked in the way they are presented now. Hence why we need sources.

[td]*::::::::There was only one current comment about such roles on the talk page. An IP editor suggested that they appeared as Rosie's husband in [[North of 60]]. It was a simple matter to Google this and establish that the role had been played by another actor. What's required in such cases is [[fact-checking]], not fiddling with footnotes. A footnote doesn't verify because there's no guarantee that it matches the article's claim. What's actually required is a critical eye and careful checking of the claims against the evidence that's out there. But little of this seems to get done at ITN. Just looking for footnotes is [[cargo cult programming|cargo cult]] or [[Tick-box culture|check-box]] behaviour – just going by superficial appearances without the underlying competence and comprehension of the content.

[td]*:::::::::We're not expecting a thorough source evaluation but that there are sources cited. I still look over to make sure none of the sources scream as unreliable (like if they used IMDB), but I'm not going to sit there and verify each one for ITN, on the basis of good faith that the sources were added to support the fact. But the absence of sources, or providing more narrower definition of a primary source (like specific episodes rather than "one episodes" in a long series) on BLP pages is a result of years of lazy approaches to most entertainers articles when BLP demands better.
