Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Jack Johnson (actor)

The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was redirect‎ to Lost in Space (film). The argument that the subject meets WP:NACTOR is on the whole unconvincing since he has had only one indisputably significant role. Since the subject will still be a reasonably common search term for those interested in the film, redirecting is a good WP:ATD. Modussiccandi (talk) 11:25, 25 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Non-notable actor. No WP:SIGCOV and fails WP:NACTOR. Thebiguglyalien (talk) 20:36, 20 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Notable both as an actor and as a cinematographer. Eastmain (talk • contribs) 20:48, 20 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Can you elaborate on how you came to that conclusion? Lost in Space seems to be his only notable role and there's little to no coverage of him.-KH-1 (talk) 09:58, 21 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Meets WP:NACTOR. I added a few sources that reference his role in Lost in Space. He has one cinematography credit on a 2010 short film, so I don't see a case for notability as a cinematographer. A notable child actor doesn't become non-notable if they don't continue acting as an adult. Novemberjazz 02:51, 28 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Not sure how he meets NACTOR as he's known for only one role, has a thin filmography, and hasn't done anything of note since the early 2000s. The three sources added to the article do not establish notability as they only mention him in passing. sixtynine ^{• whaddya want? •} 05:37, 29 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Weak keep. Child actors are a special category. In this case, the only film in which he had a major supporting role is something of a cult film, and there is at least some evidence of that, but perhaps not enough. I recall that an article on Michael McGovern was deleted in the past few years. Bearian (talk) 16:49, 4 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Lost in Space, however, is not being discussed here, but one of its actors known only for a minor role therein. Notability is not inherited. sixtynine ^{• whaddya want? •} 17:40, 5 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Delete or redirect to Lost in Space (film). Danger, Will Robinson! When you're the subject of a Daily Telegraph article titled "Lost in Space on Netflix: What happened to child star who played Will Robinson in movie?, that's not a good sign that your acting career took off.
