WP:BLP of an actor and film producer, not properly sourced as passing notability criteria for actors or film producers. As always, people are not automatically entitled to have Wikipedia articles just because they exist, and instead have to show external validation of significance such as notable awards and/or the reception of significant coverage and analysis about them and their work in third-party sources -- but this is referenced almost entirely to IMDb and/or other IMDb-equivalent directories, which are not reliable or notability-making sources at all, and the only citation that comes from a WP:GNG-worthy media outlet is just a film casting announcement that glancingly namechecks his existence without being about him in any non-trivial sense, which means it isn't enough to get him over GNG all by itself if it's the only GNG-worthy source in the mix.
Nothing stated here is "inherently" notable enough to exempt him from having to have stronger referencing than this, and the article has been tagged for possible WP:UPE to boot. Bearcat (talk) 13:31, 21 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
