I have carried out WP:BEFORE on this previously unreferenced biography of an actor. I've found and added four references, but three are from the BBC Press Office so are not independent, and the fourth is a passing mention in a local newspaper. I don't think he meets WP:GNG or WP:ANYBIO. His two roles for which we have evidence are supporting characters as far as I can see, so I don't think he meets WP:NACTOR. The article has been tagged as possibly not meeting notability criteria since December 2023. Tacyarg (talk) 18:03, 25 July 2024 (UTC)

• Keep per the significant coverage in multiple independent reliable sources I added yesterday. I originally decided to withdraw this discussion, saying "I (TechGeek105) have added extra sources via NewsBank to the article, so he now meets WP:GNG, WP:ANYBIO and WP:NACTOR."

The article notes: "He's played the title role in Oliver Twist and the coveted Chip in Beauty and the Beast as well as starring in Pearl Fishers, Madam Butterfly, Seven Little Australians, The Little Mermaid and Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory. ... Chosen for the role of Ned, a cheeky, sociable nine-year-old, Hammer was faced with a dilemma most actors dream of. Already in rehearsals, he had to give up the role of Gavroche in the stage production of Les Miserables to commit himself to the filming schedule."

The article notes: "Jade Butler, 16, and Anthony Hammer, 13, dramatically changed their exercise routines to become fit for the challenging circus acts. ... Anthony, who plays Craig Marsh, had to fit in his hectic sporting commitments around High Flyers."

Yesterday, I also found an unreliable blog source, related to his football career.

1. {{Cite web |title=2012 Victorian State League Division Two South-East - Season Results |url=http://www.ozfootball.net/ark/States/VIC/2012SD2SER.html |access-date=30 July 2024 |website=Oz Football}}
The blog source notes: "Goal: Anthony Hammer 62"

There is sufficient coverage in multiple independent reliable sources to allow him to pass the general notability guideline, requiring "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject". --Yours sincerely, Bas (or TechGeek105) (talk to me) 07:55, 31 July 2024 (UTC)

• Keep. Significant roles in multiple notable productions. His role as Smudger Moore in Bootleg is a main role. (Smudger and Huntley are the two mains but if you just look at imdb they are way down, don't always trust them. "When chocolate is banned by the newly-elected Good For You political party, 13-year-old school kids Huntley (Steven Geller) and Smudger (Anthony Hammer) and some surprising adult collaborators conspire to undermine the new law and bring down the Government."). Had a main role as Ned in Driven Crazy. (Dad Mick takes his kids Danni and Ned on a trek around Australia.) Main cast role in High Flyers. duffbeerforme (talk) 12:34, 31 July 2024 (UTC)
