WP:BLP of an actor, not properly referenced as passing WP:NACTOR. As always, actors are not automatically entitled to have Wikipedia articles just because they exist -- notability doesn't reside in listing acting roles, it resides in the quality and depth and volume of media coverage about him and his performances that can be shown to support the article with.
But this is referenced almost entirely to primary sources that are not support for notability, such as theatre roles being sourced to the self-published websites of the theatre companies that staged them -- and while there is one footnote that appears to actually be a reliable and WP:GNG-worthy source, one valid piece of media coverage isn't enough all by itself to pass GNG.
There's also a conflict of interest issue here, as the article has been directly edited by the subject himself under his own name -- and while he didn't create the article himself, he began editing it within a few hours of its creation, suggesting that he likely solicited somebody to write it for him as how else would he already know it was there so quickly?
Nothing stated here is "inherently" notable enough to exempt him from having to be the subject of a lot more than just one piece of media coverage. Bearcat (talk) 15:57, 3 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per nom. If this was a deceased actor, I'd be less concerned than a WP:BLP. Bearian (talk) 17:16, 5 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
