From what I'm observing, this actor fails WP:NACTOR and WP:GNG. The article cites his minor role in the TV series Banshee and two minor roles in other productions. The actor also will perform in a minor role in an upcoming movie with Robert De Niro, Bus 657, an information that cannot be used to support notability. Regardless of what the article shows, I've also searched for hints of notability online, without success. I have not found any reliable independent secondary source talking about this person, except for an interview, which is already cited in the article. To me it seems a simple case of WP:TOOSOON and I'm proposing the article to AfD so that a consensus can be reached. ► LowLevel (talk) 01:45, 15 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Comment I added some things to the bio that show the significance of his character on Banshee, as well as another bio I found on tv.com. ( sorry wasn't logged in when I sent it, and didn't know how to go back and change that sorry guys I'm still a noob haha) The assessment that his role on the tv series Banshee is a minor role I think is inaccurate he was a major villain starting season 2 of the show. I think that the way it was written before may have seemed that way but it's not a minor role in the series. I'm not too sure whether his role in the upcoming Bus 657 is major or minor as well because I can't find much on the project except for a picture of him and Dave Batista from a local Mobile Paper discussing the film.[1] and didn't know if I should site that on his Tyson Sullivan page?

Delete I agree that this doesn't meet WP:NACTOR or WP:GNG and despite claims of a more major role in Banshee, there is no reference to either character or actor on that page. I notice also that Popcornfury added him as as a cast member to the articles on Bus 657 and Demonic - both on the same day that this article was created, so I'm now wondering about WP:NPOV.

Keep The character is listed on the banshee wiki if thats what you're referring to [1]?? But beyond that, (since I think that's probably not a citable source, I don't know??) someone who actually watched Banshee would very certainly know who he is. Which is pretty obvious through the interview I cited [2], since hes a pretty big character, therefore passing WP:NACTOR. Also I just assumed that when adding a character page I should link it to the other projects on WIKI, don't see how that would be WP:NPOV Popcornfury (talk) 00:26, 29 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The point I was making about WP:NPOV was that the two pages you linked to were updated by you on the same day that this article was created, i.e. it appears you were creating links to prove notability which makes me suspicious. Are you this actor, or related in some way to him? WP:NACTOR requires multiple, significant roles or a large fan-base or cult following, neither of which apply here. Mediavalia talk 14:23, 1 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Oh I got ya, So in the future should I not link at the same time? Sorry I'm newer on the site, the name was already on the Demonic page but not linked so I linked it, I did add it to the Bus 657 page after I read the article I linked. No I'm not the actor nor do I know him, just a fan. I think as far as WP:NACTOR requiring multiple, significant roles it passes that having the credits that are cited, but could be a matter of opinion. "Or a large fan-base" He's got quite a few twitter followers[1] but is that citable?? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Popcornfury (talkcontribs) 03:02, 2 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
