Notability. The mens health article (the sole cite and a slim one imo) describes him as an aspiring actor....not promising. I doubt if anbody would be paying any attention if he had a different father. TheLongTone (talk) 11:51, 20 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Comment We can find a lot of sources about him but the article is written poorly and does not provide any information. It's hardly a 1-2 lines article. I think Wikipedia can keep it if the article is written properly with proper citations. Fifthapril (talk) 13:39, 20 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Weak keep He's got coverage in People [1] and the dancing on the stars thing. This in USA Today [2] seems to have enough for GNG. Oaktree b (talk) 15:52, 20 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
- Source check
  - The People article isn't helpful on notability grounds, since it is either entirely quotes from the subject (quotes by the subject do not count as independent content) or insignificant coverage (of the scandal caused by his conception).
  - The USA Today article however does have slight significant information (namely "Joseph Baena, 21, after his youngest child graduated from Pepperdine University in Malibu, California, on Saturday.") so it might support notability.
  - The Deadline article about his audition for Dancing with the Stars also has slight significant information with "Like his pop, Baena is an Olympic lifter. He also works as a real estate agent and would like to act, apparently."
  - Similar information is also imparted in this LA Times article: "But when Baena, who’s also a real estate agent with Aria Properties in Marina del Rey, decided to try his hand at acting a few years back..."

Leaning keep as it seems likely that GNG-compliant sources for Baena can be found. In addition, an editor's opinion that a person's career is insignificant does not automatically entitle article deletion. — Ceso femmuin mbolgaig mbung, mellohi! (投稿) 18:43, 20 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Keep I am finding enough references to show that the person is notable. Article is being fleshed out now. Lightburst (talk) 16:33, 21 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Keep, notable for several sourced reasons (none of them involving who his father is, although there is nothing wrong with mentioning Arnold and his exploits on the page). Randy Kryn (talk) 19:19, 21 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. The fact that he has just been announced for the cast of the upcoming season of Dancing With the Stars is... something. BD2412 T 00:32, 22 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
