No indication of notability. I reorganized and sectioned the article to separate his career from his charity work, but the only third-party reference to his career is a mere mention, most of the article was and is sourced to IMDb and his own website, and I was unable to find the other Toronto Star reference referred to. A search for additional references also came up empty. I removed the list of stars endorsing his charity work as not contributing to notability, and the praise received for that does not in itself rise to the level of a major award that would confer notability.

  • Delete. Talent agent is not an occupation where we extend an automatic presumption of notability just because the person exists, but this is not reliably sourced well enough to get him past WP:GNG. I actually was able to find the other Toronto Star reference on a ProQuest database search — but it doesn't assist a GNG pass, because it glancingly namechecks the existence of Rocky's Kidz but fails to be about it, and doesn't even mention Rocky Stone as a person at all.

  • Delete totally unnotable as an actor, and not notable as a talent agent either. Talent agents need actual coverage to be notable.John Pack Lambert (talk) 17:12, 27 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. I'm unable to find in-depth coverage to show that this person meets WP:GNG.  gongshow  talk  01:22, 28 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
