Subject does not currently meet notability criteria, e.g. Notability guidelines for actors. I've found no significant coverage in reliable sources. This person appears to have mainly worked as an extra or in minor roles, and Wikipedia is not IMDB. --Animalparty! (talk) 23:04, 2 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Delete: fails WP:NACTOR; I can't see any credited roles for Jackson other than as an extra. — Bilorv_(c)(talk) 14:25, 14 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
There is an updated credit in Black Lightning Season 1 Episode 12 that aired on 4/10/2018 in which this actor is credited on & there are a host of other credited projects that are awaiting release in 2018. He also received an award as an actor on the rise in the 2018 Atlanta Actors awards.DCCLXXVII (talk) 16:20, 16 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@DCCLXXVII: Please re-read WP:NACTOR, WP:ANYBIO, (actually, all of Wikipedia:Notability (people) and WP:GNG. Simply being in films or TV shows, credited or not, is insufficient. The Atlanta Actors Award, assuming it is the same as this one, is not a well known award. We need significant coverage of the subject from multiple, reliable sources that are independent of the subject . Promotional coverage, press releases, passing mentions, self-published, or coverage in non-reliable sources do not demonstrate notability. While the subject may become notable in the future, Wikipedia does not jump the gun to cover subjects before they are become known (lest we perpetuate outright promotion), and it currently appears too soon for inclusion in this encyclopedia. Wikipedia is not IMDB, nor LinkedIn. And if you are affiliated with Mr. Jackson, paid or otherwise please review conflict of interest guidelines. --Animalparty!
