Fails WP:NACTOR; he’s only had one significant role in Breaking Dawn (2004 film). Needs two or more significant roles in order to be eligible. Being the son of Jon Voight and the brother of Angelina Jolie doesn’t make him notable per WP:NOTINHERITED. The Film Creator (talk) 23:26, 17 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Why delete this article? Seems informative — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2600:100C:B023:DC07:3D30:46B1:F177:AC75 (talk) 12:14, 22 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Informative articles aren't always kept. In this case, James Haven may not be notable and if he is not, then he shouldn't be written about on wikipedia... --Ferien (talk) 21:33, 28 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Not sure what the definition of "significant" is, and don't think you should be the one to determine that, but given his credits for other projects, I think he is notable enough to have an article. Should there be more references? Yes, but that doesn't mean it should be deleted, it means more references should be added, which I'm sure can be found.

Relisting comment: I'd like to see more support for deletion to consider deleting an article that has survived here for 19 years. I know longevity isn't an important factor to consider in a deletion discussion but right now, we only have the nominator's opinion that this article warrants deletion so I'm relisting the discussion.

I agree completely with your sentiments regarding James Haven's page. I find this significant..."Since 2006, James has been the executive board director of Artivist, a Los Angeles festival that highlights movies, addressing human rights, animal rights, and environmental issues." Also, how many people achieve this distinction while still in school? "While at the University of Southern California, he received a George Lucas Award for a student film he directed starring his sister." This is also a significant achievement..."In 2005, Haven was the executive producer of the documentary Trudell, which chronicles the life and work of Santee Sioux musician and activist John Trudell. Trudell was an official selection at the Sundance Film Festival and the Tribeca Film Festival; it won the Special Jury Prize for Best Documentary at the Seattle International Film Festival." I think he's achieved a fair amount along with his acting/directing achievements. I feel his page should remain and be edited as his experience evolves.
