Contested deletion

This article should not be speedily deleted for lack of asserted importance because significant amount of cleanup has been done. Also, as I reviewed, this profile seemed presumably notable to me as its mentioned on The Hollywood Reporter, Rotten Tomatoes, Deadline and a prestigious university website. Instead of Speedy Deletion, further improvement flag can be placed, i think. --DonnaJRick (talk) 01:00, 12 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

While the article has been kept because one of his works won a specific award (which does not appear to be a notable award as there is no article for it) nor does he have multiple significant roles, as explained at WP:ANYBIO and WP:NACTOR as requirements to prove and verify notability, I have tagged this article as needing to address multiple issues in notability, verifiability, etc. in the hopes that other contributors may improve it. I will give it about a few weeks to a month to see if any of these issues are handled or progress is made. If not, I intend to take it to WP:AfD. I will add that simply being mentioned in a trade report as appearing in a film or TV show does not automatically make the subject notable. Trailblazer101 (talk) 20:16, 14 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
