A couple of references were added to the article as well as a notability tag. 83 words of "readable prose" is not much more than a dictionary entry and presents nothing more than a pseudo biography.
One area of concern is the notability of the subject to support a stand alone WP:BLP. IMDb was used as a sole source that is contrary to current community consensus as it is not considered reliable. It actually contains no biographical information other than the filmography. The two added sources are central to the Beetles and the subject being one of 10 that played Paul McCartney.
There is still a question of notability. A search returned some interesting information on Dr. Rod A. Culbertson. This is not the subject. Other entries include Wikipedia, IMDb, Twitter, Amazon, and peoplepill.com. The last one is user generated.
This is a 2009 article that has eluded any improvements in over 10 years. While there is no timeline to improvable articles, there is a point when it is not unreasonable to wonder if there is more than minimum notability. There may be sources "out there" but WP:NEXIST also contains: However, once an article's notability has been challenged, merely asserting that unspecified sources exist is seldom persuasive, especially if time passes and actual proof does not surface. so any interested editors please see if appropriate sources can be found. -- Otr500 (talk) 01:28, 5 May 2020 (UTC)Reply
