~~Weak Keep~~ Found one article that provides in-depth content of Lynch through the Denver Post: [1], he's given more than just a passing mention in this Spanish article [2], and he also appears multiple times in this cast interview of the upcoming show [3]. I think this is sufficient for the general notability guideline, but I'm more reluctant to fully support keeping the article because all of the coverage seems to focus on this particular series (which has not yet even released).

Merge and Redirect per WP:BLP1E to Austin & Ally, as " reliable sources cover the person only in the context of a single event" and, as correctly said by Jethrobot, all the sources about him are focused on the series.--Cavarrone (talk) 23:08, 4 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Merge and Redirect per Cavarrone, as I agree with their assessment. This content (for now) is more appropriate in the context of the TV show. I, Jethrobot ^{drop me a line} (note: not a bot!) 00:40, 5 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Keep He may be new, but since he is the lead in the show and I do have his date of birth you have no choice, but to keep this article up. — Preceding unsigned comment added by ChHP211 (talk • contribs)

It's a show that hasn't aired yet, so asserting his notability is premature. Even if the show is notable, it's been noted above that this might be a case of people who are famous for one thing. Also, I'm not entirely sure why knowing when he was born supports a claim to notability for people. I, Jethrobot ^{drop me a line} (note: not a bot!) 20:28, 5 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, the show has aired. But I agree about the birthday part. We've got perfectly good BLPs with no birthday at all, so that makes no difference. --‖ Ebyabe ^talk - Welfare State ‖ 20:44, 5 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Merge and Redirect per above. Once there's more coverage in secondary sources, an article can be created. --‖ Ebyabe ^talk - Inspector General ‖ 16:35, 5 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Merge and Redirect as per the above. Usual Caveats apply, though - it's early days in a young person's career, and they may well end up notable. UltraExactZZ ^Said~ Did 15:13, 6 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Comment I added an anchor at Austin & Ally#Ross Lynch as a possible redirect target. Geraldo Perez (talk) 16:26, 6 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
