Questionable if they meet the basic criteria in WP:BIO - there's a lack of context and further details on this person, and the only notability covered in the article (as a stub) is on their appearance on America's Got Talent. Since there doesn't appear to have been an effort to expand beyond this, it raises the question about the notability of the subject for a biographical article.

Weak keep as he had 400 + episodes over eight years as a major character on The Bold and the Beautiful, Atlantic306 (talk) 23:52, 30 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: That, in my opinion, is a truly weak reason for keeping the article - if this is the case, why is it not detailed considerably in the article? For a stub, it's become quite stale... GUtt01 (talk) 07:46, 1 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Keep While the article is in poor shape currently, it doesn't necessarily mean the subject isn't notable. He meets the GNG at least for plenty of non-trivial newspaper coverage of his soap opera roles, stage roles, music career in Europe and work as an impressionist. A sampling of those findable via google search: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6. Plus there are more behind paywalls on newspapers.com and newsbank. GoldenAgeFan1 (talk) 09:24, 1 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Keep As the former Thorne Forrester on B&B, Trachta got significant coverage in old soap opera magazines that are not readily available in the digital age. This is a clear case where sources exist, even if they're very hard to find. Gildir (talk) 06:29, 8 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
