Per WP:GNG and WP:NACTOR. Film and television credits lack a strong sense of notability, with many of the films/shows not having their own WP pages. Based on the sources provided and available, I don't think he passes WP:NACTOR or WP:GNG. Comatmebro User talk:Comatmebro 16:31, 19 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

QUESTION What is the preferred method/venue for responding to this? Should I continue editing this page or stark a talk page? How many notable works must an actor appear in before they are considered notable? I could find no set criteria. Netweave (talk) 17:56, 19 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

continue editing the article if you can find information of substance, and also let this discussion know about what you're able to find/add. PK T(alk) 22:34, 19 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The inclusion test for an actor is not a raw count of how many films he has or hasn't appeared in — one film can be enough if the person gets an Oscar or BAFTA nomination for their performance, and 100 films can be not enough if those were all bit part roles that didn't garner any reliable source coverage about those performances. Actors are included or excluded on the basis of how well the article can or can't be referenced, not how many roles they have or haven't had. Bearcat (talk) 15:18, 20 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Delete, unless Scumbag (film) or future credits become noteworthy. Most of this chap's work has been short films, and there is a lack of mention in Wikipedia:Reliable sources in the article as of today. PK T(alk) 22:34, 19 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Delete as WP:TOOSOON. No prejudice against recreation in the future if and when an article that actually meets our inclusion standards can be written, but nothing here exempts him from having to be the subject of more reliable source coverage about his acting than has been shown here.

Delete per all of the above reasons. This Beard is too short (of notable credits). It needs to grow out a lot more. Clarityfiend (talk) 23:08, 20 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - He does not seem to meet the notability criteria for WP:NACTOR. CAPTAIN RAJU (✉) 11:47, 26 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
