The sourcing is atrocious here, not anywhere near even close to meeting GNG. I also am unconvinced that even one of the roles Lissek had would be considered a significant role in a notable production. I know there are some debates about what is a significant role, well in theory, in practice we seem to just mass create articles on anyone who shows up in cast lists a few times with no thought as to the roles being significant, but these roles are not.

Weak delete - I looked online and found a few possible sources, but his roles have generally been very small for even character actors. Bearian (talk) 01:10, 8 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Delete: WP:NACTOR asks for Has had significant roles in multiple notable films, television shows, stage performances, or other productions. While this list gives many roles, none of them are significant roles. --Whiteguru (talk) 09:53, 12 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Keep as he meets WP:NACTOR. He was the lead in Bloodmoon and had significant roles on The Sullivans and EastEnders (as Bruno di Marco). I'm finding quite a bit of stage work too. The article in its present state, even with my additions, is an incomplete picture of his career. This is often the case in AfDs related to film/television/radio/theatre of the 20th century, especially for prolific actors such as Lissek. It seems fans create articles, but they are not aware of the need to cite sources or they don't know which paywalled databases to access to get the information.
