Chris Galya[edit]

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

PROD deleted. Not notable per WP:NACTOR and WP:GNG. Only one marginally significant recurring role, no indication of fan base or cult following, has made no unique, prolific or innovative contributions to a field of entertainment. No significant coverage in multiple reliable secondary sources. Geraldo Perez (talk) 00:32, 7 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - And I'm usually the #1 defender of keeping new bio articles for new Disney Channel stars, but (aside from a few Disney press releases listing the cast of Jessie) I can only find a couple reliable sources mentioning him working as a model a few years ago. Not a single interview with him to provide even the most basic info, such as date/place of birth, etc., so a "bio" here is really premature. What little info was included in the creation of his page here is already listed (more concisely, without spelling/punctuation errors, etc) on IMDb. We all know that by this time next year, he'll most likely be considered "notable" enough to start a page, but right now, he's not even one of the "leading" actors on Jessie, he's "recurring" and has not appeared in most episodes of the show so far. It's nothing personal - but Wikipedia's notability guidelines are pretty clear - If he was part of the "main" cast or if there was even one reliable source providing some basic info like a birthday, how he got into acting/modeling, etc, then I could argue to keep it, but when even I can't make a case to keep an article - that's a sure sign that the page is dead in the water. I suggest any pages that mention him can be blue-linked to his IMDb page until we have something about him besides a Filmography. I personally use date of birth as a jumping off point. If you don't even have a DOB, you don't have the first building block to a bio page IMO, with extremely rare exceptions, such as when an aging actress is obviously deliberately hiding her age (and in the case of an extremely young/good-looking actor/model, that's obviously not the case). --- Crakkerjakk (talk) 02:46, 7 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
~~Delete~~Redirect to Jessie (TV series)#Chris Galya per above. I wish I had something to add, but everything I would have mentioned has been said already. - Purplewowies (talk) 03:44, 7 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per all above, but without prejudice to re-creation once there are reliable independent sources upon which to base a proper biographical article about the subject. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 04:06, 7 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete and redirect to Jessie (TV series) without prejudice per WP:NotJustYet. While his short career[1] is verifiable,[2] it fails WP:ENT, and his lack of coverage fails WP:GNG. We can at least send readers to the one place where he can be sourced in context to his work on that series. Schmidt, ^{MICHAEL Q.}

Comment - I added an anchor at Jessie (TV series)#Chris Galya as a potential redirect target. --Geraldo Perez (talk) 19:41, 7 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Nice job. Schmidt, ^{MICHAEL Q.} 20:52, 11 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect as above. Stuartyeates (talk) 09:05, 14 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
