Semi-advertorialized article about an actor, not properly sourced as passing WP:NACTOR. As always, actors are not automatically entitled to have Wikipedia articles just because they've had roles -- the notability test isn't in listing acting roles, it's in showing that they've received WP:GNG-worthy coverage and analysis about them and their performances. But the roles listed here are all minor supporting and guest roles, and the article is referenced entirely to primary sources and directory entries (which are not support for notability) rather than any evidence of GNG-building coverage about him in reliable sources.

• Delete: Trivial roles and no coverage in RS, this is not a notable actor. I don't see any sourcing in the article we can use and i don't find any either. Oaktree b (talk) 21:45, 29 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  The "Award" appears to be for an ensemble of some sort, but the award doesn't seem notable either, and being one in a group of many isn't notable either. Oaktree b (talk) 21:46, 29 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete: The article's subject does not significant coverage in multiple reliable sources and therefore is not notable. He only played very minor roles in some films. Cyrobyte (talk) 22:32, 29 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete, current sources are unreliable and are only for trivial, minor roles, leaving the main content unsourced. Ripe with WP:BLP violations. Jurta ^talk/_he/they 00:05, 30 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete: I don’t think this article meets WP:GNG or WP:NACTOR. The actor only did small and minor roles, and there are no strong independent sources that talk about him. Most links are primary or just listings, which do not show notability. Without good coverage in reliable sources, he is not notable for a Wikipedia article. — Pridemanty (talk) 12:24, 30 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete - with roles like Paramedic #3, Pizza Dude, and Police Officer Redshirt # 2, he's not notable. Bearian (talk) 02:08, 31 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete: Fails WP:NACTOR; "Red Soldier #2", "Pizza Guy", "Valet Attendant" etc are clearly not significant roles and he has not been the subjective of sustained meaningful coverage. silviaASH (inquire within) 07:41, 31 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete. No good roles for NACTOR. The award is a joke. The claimed ownership of the images is a lie. duffbeerforme (talk) 04:22, 3 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete per everyone here. Ramos1990 (talk) 22:33, 5 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete: There is nothing notable about this article, citations from general database websites, lack reliable sourcing. Best Regards (CP) 22:42, 5 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
