Does not meet WP:GNG, WP:NACTOR, appears to likely have been created for pay without proper disclosure. _signed,Rosguill ^talk 20:06, 28 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. This is an article about a young a rising actor. The actor is likely to have more sources become available as time progresses. The page should remain as the young actor is a notable figure in New Zealand, thus deserving a page/ User:Ilovemoviesnz 09:50, 29 December 2020 (UTC) — Ilovemoviesnz (talk • contribs) is a confirmed sock puppet of Benpporter (talk • contribs). _signed,Rosguill ^talk 05:11, 29 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Young actor with a very recent career, with a page about him and a TV series he starred in created by an SPA. The article relies heavily on imdb and there is not significant coverage in reliable sources about him. The Daily Encourager comes close to providing a single source, but even if we accept its coverage as significant we're still lacking multiple independent reliable sources.

Keep. Created to highlight New Zealand's young talent. There are government endorsed and published articles used as references and multiple credible news articles that are reliable. It meets WP:NACTOR and is therefore approvable/ Jenna Ashworth 11:00, 29 December 2020 (UTC) — JennaAshworth (talk • contribs) is a confirmed sock puppet of Benpporter (talk • contribs). _signed,Rosguill ^talk 05:11, 29 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - missed the probable UPE issue when I prodded it. But fails WP:NACTOR, and doesn't come close to meeting WP:GNG. Onel5969 ^{TT me} 20:34, 28 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
~~Keep. Page is acceptable. Meets WP:NACTOR and WP:GNG. Page to remain live. Edit Patriot 11:45, 29 December 2020 (UTC)~~ — EditPatriot (talk • contribs) is a confirmed sock puppet of Benpporter (talk • contribs). _signed,Rosguill ^talk 05:11, 29 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per nom for epic fail of NACTOR. It's not Wikipedia's job to promote a "rising actor" or "highlight ... young talent". He has to be "risen" already. Clarityfiend (talk) 23:44, 28 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Too soon to be included on Wikipedia. Pilean (talk) 13:46, 29 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Restore redirect to Love Island (2015 TV series), since he briefly appeared there but is not notable enough to qualify for an article of his own, failing WP:GNG and WP:NFILM. The article was originally a redirect before a user made it into an article. Pahunkat (talk) 16:20, 29 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - clearly fails NACTOR and GNG; if redirecting, List of Love Island (2015 TV series) contestants is the preferred option as he isn't mentioned at Love Island (2015 TV series) nor should he be really Spiderone 19:01, 29 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete a non-notable actor. The evidence does not suggest even one of his roles was in a notable production.John Pack Lambert (talk) 20:29, 29 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete WP:TOOSOON - Also, seems there is multiple sockpuppets established to promote this page. Deathlibrarian (talk) 09:24, 30 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
