I admit the article passes WP:NACTOR since Mondesir has had significant roles in Seventeen Again, Grave Encounters and It Stains the Sands Red. However, the article fails WP:BASIC. Hitcher vs. Candyman (talk) 21:31, 4 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Vexatious nomination. Passes WP:NACTOR. Actors are known for their work and this one had significant roles easily meeting the SNG. See Historical Dictionary of African American Cinema, The A to Z of African American Cinema, and TV Guide. The nomination claims that the person has to pass SNG and GNG, however that is not what our guideline states WP:N A topic is presumed to merit an article if: It meets either the general notability guideline below, or the criteria outlined in a subject-specific guideline listed in the box on the right; and It is not excluded under the What Wikipedia is not policy.

Keep WP:NOTABILITY is quite clear, they must passed either the general notability guidelines, or a subject specific guideline. If the nominator admits they pass the subject specific guideline for actors, then this is a bad nomination. After you read the short bit for BASIC you should've read the following bit for other ways they can be "presumed" notable. Dream Focus 23:01, 4 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Keep: The nominator acknowledges that he passes NACTOR. — Toughpigs (talk) 23:21, 4 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. It only needs to pass WP:NACTOR. Does not need to pass WP:BASIC as well as mentioned in WP:N. Pamzeis (talk) 23:28, 4 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
In that case, I withdraw this nomination. I assumed a BLP article had to pass WP:BASIC. Hitcher vs. Candyman (talk) 23:35, 4 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
