WP:BLP of an actor, "referenced" only to his IMDb profile with no evidence of coverage about him in reliable sources shown at all. The only notability claim really being attempted here is that he's had roles, but just listing roles isn't an automatic notability freebie in and of itself -- the film roles listed are all supporting or bit parts, not main starring roles. The notability bar for actors is not "has been in stuff" (which would cover every actor who exists at all), but requires evidence of distinction, such as winning or being nominated for one or more major acting awards and/or receiving enough real media coverage about his performances to clear WP:GNG on his sourcing. This was also created by a WP:SPA with the username "Artisticdirector", suggesting the possibility of conflict of interest editing by the subject or a personal friend or colleague of his.

Delete. There are literally zero newspaper articles about this person. If it's the same guy, he has about 12,000 followers on Twitter, but I'm not sure. Bearian (talk) 19:51, 28 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
