Keep as meeting the qualifications of WP:ENTERTAINER which specifically includes "Actors, comedians, opinion makers, models, and television personalities". The guidelines of WP:CREATIVE and WP:ENTERTAINER are not mutually exclusive as both fall under the guiding principles of WP:BIO and WP:GNG. If a journalist is also a television journalist, he becomes a television personality and/or opinion-maker and may be judged by both or either subordinate criteria, or we may simply swim back upstream to BIO or GNG.
