Article on young actor created by WP:SPA, evidently employed by Advantage Models, the agency representing him. Not yet notable per WP:NACTOR, as he's so far only had minor roles in a few low-notability films. Did well in school and college athletics, but not to the level required by WP:NTRACK. No significant coverage online from WP:Reliable sources, just interviews with niche film news sites and blogs, passing mentions elsewhere, and a lot of press releases. Sounds like a talented young man, but WP:TOOSOON for a Wikipedia article. Wikishovel (talk) 09:03, 11 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete Purely promotional article from a clear COI account. Routine/local coverage refbomb. On an unrelated note: how is AdvantageProducer not banned yet? 157.235.66.80 (talk) 17:04, 11 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete He has two roles in low budget films. If he had been the lead actor in either I might consider considering him notable, but he was not. In this case I think "multiple" needs to be more than 2. He is on track to make notability guidelines if he has a few more roles, or gets a lot better coverage, but not yet.John Pack Lambert (talk) 00:15, 13 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete Promo, COI and SPA account. Extremely minor actor. FuzzyGopher (talk) 22:51, 14 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Weak keep based on filmography. I think the article can be cleaned up to remove promotional material and turned into a stub. Instaurare (talk) 02:09, 16 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • I do not think this is worthy of deletion. He has credible roles in feature films and many coming up. He seems very notable, even according to sources.— Preceding unsigned comment added by Nicolecrumbley (talkcontribs)
@Nicolecrumbley: I notice that you have so far exclusively edited articles on actors and films connected with Advantage Models, with a very similar editing pattern to that of article creator User:AdvantageProducer. Are you the same person, editing under two accounts? Thanks, Wikishovel (talk) 19:49, 16 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
No, it is not the same person editing under two accounts. I am not sure who the user of AdvantageProducer is. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Nicolecrumbley (talkcontribs) 19:53, 16 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
