Actor/model with no evidence of notability. Only roles appear to be bit parts/extra roles. The sources consist of IMDB, Twitter, and an interview which is possibly the sole WP:RS and states that he is "a name perhaps unfamiliar to you but he’s been linked with recent rumors" with no qualification as to the subject's credibility.

  • Delete. No significant roles, just rumors of parts, which he himself debunks in the interview. Clarityfiend (talk) 05:01, 19 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete No real sources, just twitter etc. It's self-promotion. Kauffner (talk) 16:35, 19 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Don't Delete Maybe make his page just state he is primarily a model, and then can have small subsection for acting. He has an IMDB, his own website which shows his modeling work and magazine appearances so he deserves to have a wiki page. Plus, though his movie roles were small, they still exist. He's not a nobody. Plus his role on HBO's Tilda was a co-starring role, not an extra or one scene.Uknowwhogirl (talk) 20 August 2011 (UTC)
  • Don't Delete I have updated/edited his page to make it more concise, simple and accurate which I hope makes it remain eligible to be saved. I kept the filmography section but if you feel it should be taken down, feel free. Uknowwhogirl (talk) 20 August 2011 (UTC)

  • Don't Delete There is no self-promotion involved. If you Google his name, there are hundreds of results in relation to this actor, and many photos of his modelling. This is evidence alone that he is a person of interest and discussion. He is currently working on a couple of major projects and a lot of people will expect to see an entry for him on Wikipedia.

  • Don't Delete His name has been mentioned on MTV, cinemablend, fandango, about.com. He has a celebrity profile on IGN and he even has a tag on Perez Hilton. He has over 3 dozen news items on imdb.com, 1,300,000 results on Google for "Kevin Pennington Avengers" and 649,000 for "Kevin Pennington True Blood". Rumours or not, people are clearly talking about him. There are pictures and footage of him attending the Academy Awards, Golden Globes and the AMAs. You do not attend all these events without being a 'somebody' in the industry. Union jak86 (talk) 17:23, 20 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

  • Don't Delete His name might not be a household name yet, but he's been mentioned plenty of times on various sources, he even was linked to the movie "The Avengers" at one point. If you google pictures of him, the first results that are showing up are a lot of his modeling gigs - it's not like you only have a few pics of him mixed with random people, it's ALL him. Also, if this page were completely about self-promotion, which it is not, than you would recognize so, but all facts giving are JUST facts - filmography and his biography etc etc. And I am wondering what the big deal is... if you delete the page now, and in a few months he's gonna have his big break, you'll just create a new one? Save yourself the time and keep the page. Wikipedia is one of the first sources people go to to look up certain information — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mirrorgirl123 (talk • contribs) 18:11, 20 August 2011 (UTC) — Mirrorgirl123 (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.

  • Don't Delete Pennington is an up and coming actor, more so a musician in a band called ROME that will soon launch their debut single. Just because his filmography doesn't list a number of blockbusters or movie hits, it doesn't mean he's an unknown. As has been mentioned, Pennington has attended various events throughout this year and the past. He's very well known amongst the very strong comic fan-base having been mentioned for roles such as Aquaman and another in next year's "The Avengers" - those clearly have been rumours, also he is widely known in the modelling circles. This shows that he's not just some nobody who is trying to up his status by self-promoting his biography and career on Wikipedia. If you were to take the time looking him up via Google you'll find that his name has been linked to various BIG projects and that he certainly is not some unknown. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Kolakhe (talk • contribs) 19:58, 20 August 2011 (UTC) — Kolakhe (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.

  • Delete per WP:NotJustYet. His so-far short[1] film career fails WP:ENT, and his "Kev Penn bio at Monsters & Critcs is borrowed from Wikipedia. The interview in Screenrant is not enough to meet WP:GNG's instruction of "multiple". There are multiple short articles in iffy sites that deal with his NOT being in the Avengers movie,[2] but those do not tell us about the indivdual, only about what he has not done. His work as a fashion model and fitness advisor do not meet WP:N. His fashion editorials in L'Uomo Vogue and Complex do not meet WP:AUTHOR. What is required is our finding independent reliable sources that speak about the fellow dirctly and in detail. I looked and did not find where these are archived. If the asserted covers of Men's Health and 944 Magazine can be linked and show coverage of the individual, then I can reconsier ny delete. Schmidt, MICHAEL Q. 22:32, 20 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
