Laurie Davidson (actor)

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Article about a newly graduated actor who has gained a lead role in a US cable TV series this month. As such, he doesn't yet meet WP:NACTOR (which requires multiple significant roles in notable productions). Maybe the best thing to do, for now, would be to redirect to Will (TV series) until Davidson is more established? Sionk (talk) 18:04, 30 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy Keep (as the primary author) This is an easy WP:GNG pass. He is the subject of several WP:RS articles.--TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 03:57, 31 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Fails WP:NACTOR but passes WP:BASIC and WP:GNG which is sufficient. Has received substantial coverage in multiple reliable sources. While coverage is related to the role in Will, it has been ongoing for 1 1/2 years now, so also not a case of WP:BLP1E (well, strictly speaking the "event" is the same TV show but that's not what BLP1E is about).

Keep WP:GNG supersedes WP:NACTOR. DrStrauss talk 17:07, 31 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Keep I think a consensus has been reached here and I agree with it: NACTOR isn't met, but GNG is definitely met. Given the refs, I think NACTOR will be met eventually at this rate anyway. South Nashua (talk) 13:07, 3 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
