Delete There are not the multiple reliable secondary sources to show notability. A bunch of minor parts do not add up to notability.John Pack Lambert (talk) 16:23, 14 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
~~Weak Keep~~ Keep: There doesn't seem to be much recent coverage of the subject, but going back to the late-'90s/early-2000s, there are lots of newspaper hits which show potential WP:SIGCOV. I'm applying for a source to be clipped and will provide it soon. As for WP:NACTOR, the subject has had some decent roles which, I believe, pass the necessary threshold, and he also has some awards and nominations, which may support WP:ANYBIO.

Here is the source: https://www.newspapers.com/clip/49206604/myles-jeffrey-vincennes-sun-commercial/. The article seemed far more in-depth via the preview. As I said above, there are a lot of hits at newspaper.com, but sifting through the mere mentions for non-trivial coverage will take more time. I'm happy to keep looking. There are also sources which verify his awards/nominations. Dflaw4 (talk) 12:29, 21 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per WP:NACTOR and WP:MILL - his roles are too small; for example, he voiced a chimp in the Babe sequel. Bearian (talk) 20:48, 1 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Update: Upgrading my vote above on the basis of the subject's Young Artists Awards, which seem to be notable. Thus, WP:ANYBIO appears to be met. I'm applying now at WP:RX for some sources which verify his awards. Dflaw4 (talk) 14:34, 6 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: Sources verifying the subject's Young Artist Awards and his YoungStar Award: 1, 2, 3. Dflaw4 (talk) 15:17, 6 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Bearian and John Pack Lambert, do you believe WP:ANYBIO would be met on the basis of these awards? Dflaw4 (talk) 12:51, 7 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. No opinion about whether he's notable or not, but right now, to our readers, this is a WP:BLP without reliable sources, and deletion is therefore required. Sandstein 10:40, 7 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Sandstein, I've added one of the sources, so it is no longer a WP:BLP with no reliable sources. Dflaw4 (talk) 12:49, 7 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Slapping a bare URL into the "external links" section is not only shoddy editing (that's not what external links are for, and links should be properly formatted), but it is also not the same thing as properly referencing a BLP article. Readers must be able to verify the important and/or controversial facts about a person through inline references (footnotes) accompanying the respective statements in the article. Until you are able to do that, you should stay far away from any BLP articles, or you may in fact face sanctions (WP:BLPDS). Sandstein 16:02, 7 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Sandstein, if the article is kept, I will add the references properly. I only did it like this to placate your concerns vis-à-vis unreliably-sourced BLPs, and so that you can strike you vote given that it doesn't address the question of notability. Dflaw4 (talk) 01:57, 8 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Comment receiving the award is not being coveraed at GNG levels so that is not enough to show notability, and one source is never enough to pass GNG and that is all we have at best adding to GNG.John Pack Lambert (talk) 13:22, 7 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

John Pack Lambert, WP:ANYBIO doesn't require there to be significant coverage attaching to the award. But I have provided sources to verify that he won those awards above. Dflaw4 (talk) 14:14, 7 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - I’m not convinced that the additional sources above indicate notability, it seems too minor to me. Cardiffbear88 (talk) 17:06, 7 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Note to closing administrator: The question of whether the subject's awards pass WP:ANYBIO has not yet been resolved. Dflaw4 (talk) 02:30, 8 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
