Failure of WP:ENT and WP:CS: Completely unsourced for over a decade (except for one mention from a local paper added four months ago), with no claim(s) of significant roles in any notable films or television shows, nor a large fan base. I was unable to find any reliable sources to establish notability, aside from web pages mentioning the actor's existence. The fact that these issues have persisted for twelve years and that there has been almost no changes from the very first version of this article should be evident enough that this actor should not have a Wikipedia article.

*Keep I did some research as I had admittedly not heard of this actor before, but his IMDb and other reference provided in the article seems to check out. I do believe this article could use some additional citations, but I don't believe that it is necessary to delete this article. This actor clearly has put in work in the entertainment industry and has been published, with his talents written about. With that many film credits under his belt, I say keep.

  • Delete per nom. Fails WP:NACTOR. Just appearing in various obscure and unnotable films and videos isn't enough. Clarityfiend (talk) 05:09, 8 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Weak Delete and allow for recreation in draft space. I feel like he's borderline notable considering how many roles he has had, but I couldn't find any sources about him other then copies of the Wikipedia article everywhere. It might just be to soon though. Maybe he will have a breakout role eventually that will get some coverage or there's sources I wasn't able to find. I find it hard to believe he would be in that many films and an MTV show without there at least being an interview or two out there. --Adamant1 (talk) 11:09, 8 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
