Subject is not notable; fails WP:GNG and WP:NACTOR. Article is promotional with exaggerated claims. For example, role in Side Effects (2013 film) was restaurant guest (uncredited) and Contacts, aka Everything's Gonna Be Pink has not been released. Articles about subject were previously deleted.

Keep - The person seems to be notable not only for WP:NACTOR but also as WP:NMODEL Male model scene. WP:Film please confirm.

Keep - All of the references are reliable, except the twitter ref that could be excluded. The person seems to be notable mainly because of an active fan base of close to 1100 views per week of a web film "I have PSD" with more than 1.1M views and Vimeo's staff pick, Vimeo I Have PSD, WP:Film please confirm.Sockpuppetry confirmed by checkuser.—Kww(talk) 21:32, 24 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Changingfilm, it is customary to sign comments in a discussion. The Internet Movie Database is not a reliable source per WP:UGC but is used several times as a source. According to IMDb itself, the subject's bio was written by him making it a primary source that is even less acceptable for establishing notability. Press releases are considered self-published sources, not acceptable for establishing notability. Views of a 2 minute promotional video on vimeo.com doesn't constitute "an active fan base" and is not helpful in establishing notability.

Subject is notable; and WP:NACTOR. For example, role in It is what it is seems to have given Johan Matton an award for best ensemble Changingfilm Join WER 10:52, 17 June 2013 (UTC)— Changingfilm (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.

Along with over 25 others in the ensemble cast of the musical, Matton received a prize as a member of that ensemble; it was not an individual award for him. The award was made by a little known film festival that has existed less than three years. A nomination for an individual major award like an Oscar or winning an individual award at a major film festival like Berlin would help establish notability; being listed as a member of an ensemble does not.

*Keep - The sources of Mr. Matton is in production of his feature film 'Till We Meet Again' and that he is playing the role of 'Host' in Everything's gonna be pink is in fact covered by the sources at IMDb. Till We Meet Again is in the Top5000 movies on IMDb and people might find it helpful to find out in Wikipedia who Johan is. Should have someone at someone at WP:FILM here. WP:GNG.

Delete - I had high hopes to put a keep !vote here after looking at his website, but after searching for WP:RS, they just aren't there. Unfortunately for Mr. Matton, there just isn't any coverage to support WP:GNG. I found a FansShare article but not sure how reliable it is. Probably need an opinion from someone at WP:FILM but until then I still say this is a delete. --FoolMeOnce2Times (talk) 02:52, 16 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

Delete - Article has quality issues and does not seem to meet WP:NOTABILITY. APerson241 (talk!) 19:53, 25 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per all the above - notability issues, reliable source issues, article issues, it's just a large mess. Dusti^*poke* 19:34, 3 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
