British actor with only one role, a minor part in a major movie, who was recently killed. [[WP:NOTMEMORIAL]]. As far as I can tell, the article was created after his death, with no real evidence of notability before his death.

*'''Keep'''This article is clearly referencing an event which made headlines in the UK media (in fact front page on at least one paper). Surely that warrants it as an issue which may want to be referenced in the future - and wikipedia is known to be one of the key places for getting information about events past, present and future.

*'''Delete''' As he Just Died, Wikipedia is [[WP:NOTMEMORIAL]]. Plus he only has one role so hes not really popular.

*'''Keep''' The kid would have become famous, may still become famous due to the upcoming movie and is certainly famous now due to the news coverage, which serves as verifiable sources. There is absolutely no reason to delete this, it would be silly and disrespectful.--[[User:Ncondee|Ncondee]] ([[User talk:Ncondee|Ncondee]]) 12:26, 26 May 2008 (EST) |

*'''Speedy Delete''' I agree with all above. I notice many seem to think that dying is grounds to be suddenly famous when it is indeed something EVERYONE does at some point. The story is tragic and the bravery of the young man commendable, but still not enough to warrant an article.

*'''Speedy Delete.''' I'm sorry that he's passed away, but we've been inundated lately with articles about glorified extras who are being presented as actors. These people are not notable per [[WP:ENTERTAINER]]. [[User:Qworty|Qworty]] ([[User talk:Qworty|talk]]) 19:42, 24 May 2008 (UTC) |
|||
*'''Keep'''. Meets verifiability standards for having been mentioned in multiple news sources, and is not a [[WP:BIO1E]] event because of his acting career. He's in the next Harry Potter film, for fuck's sake. This is not just an ordinary murder. A short but more than rudimentary article could be written using the existing sources without original research, so I see no real reason why this should be deleted. Also, this doesn't meet any of the speedy criteria as importance through being an actor wouldn't make it an A7.--[[Special:Contributions/81.151.167.179|81.151.167.179]] ([[User talk:81.151.167.179|talk]]) 19:43, 24 May 2008 (UTC) |

*:I didn't nominate it for speedy, as the fact that his role is not major is not ''immediately'' obvious. But we don't even have an article for the character in Wikipedia; it's a pointer to a subsection on a group formed by a minor [[Hogwarts]] teacher. — [[User:Arthur Rubin|Arthur Rubin]] [[User_talk:Arthur_Rubin|(talk)]] 19:51, 24 May 2008 (UTC) |

*::He's in the film, just see [http://www.imdb.com/name/nm2876996 Imdb.com about the movie] --[[Special:Contributions/80.203.70.235|80.203.70.235]] ([[User talk:80.203.70.235|talk]]) 20:06, 24 May 2008 (UTC) |
|||
*::: Simply being in a Harry Potter film is not evidence of notability. There are many actors and actresses who have appeared in the series (sometimes in multiple films) who lack their own pages. Take Eleanor Columbus, who has not only been in two of the films, but has appeared in several other movies - see her [http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0173384/ IMDb page] - plus has a famous father. If she is not considered notable, then there's no way that Robert Knox can be. --[[User:Tailkinker|Tailkinker]] ([[User talk:Tailkinker|talk]]) 20:23, 24 May 2008 (UTC) |
|||
*'''Delete''': An actor with only one bit part under his belt (in an as-yet unreleased film) is simply not notable. His death, while tragic, is equally not of sufficient note to warrant a page, and is only receiving this level of coverage because of the very minor link to the Potter franchise. As stated by others, [[WP:NOTMEMORIAL]] and [[WP:ENTERTAINER]] have to be applied here. --[[User:Tailkinker|Tailkinker]] ([[User talk:Tailkinker|talk]]) 19:54, 24 May 2008 (UTC) |

*'''Keep'''. He is in numerous news sources, and is playing in the latest Harry Potter film. A speedy deletion only sounds like misuse of power to me. --[[Special:Contributions/80.203.70.235|80.203.70.235]] ([[User talk:80.203.70.235|talk]]) 19:55, 24 May 2008 (UTC) |
|||
*:Regarding the fact numerous news sources are reporting death. I am not sure how that matters, no one is disputing it is newsworthy, however, that still does not mean he meets notability standards. Further, I think it should be noted that even these numerous articles refer to the his role in Harry Potter being minor. "Rob Knox, who had a small part in the next Harry Potter film..." BBC News -- "...was to appear in a small part in the new Harry Potter film" Times Online -- "A teenage actor who had a small role in the next Harry Potter film" CBBC Newsround, just to name a few.

*'''Weak delete''' He came close to notability and probably would ultimatly have hit the mark, but his death has prevented that. He's a long way from being a speedy candidate, though.

*'''Comment.''' Some of the people weighing in here need to brush up on WP notability policies, in particular [[WP:NOTMEMORIAL]] and [[WP:ENTERTAINER]]. Just because this guy was in the news ''does not'' make him notable. Just because he had a small part in one film ''does not'' make him notable. And, given the fact that he's tragically passed away, it's highly doubtful that he'll ever be doing anything in the future in order to meet [[WP:BIO]], [[WP:N]], [[WP:V]], [[WP:ENTERTAINER]], etc. etc. [[User:Qworty|Qworty]] ([[User talk:Qworty|talk]]) 21:06, 24 May 2008 (UTC) |

*'''Delete''': This guy, however tragic his fate, was intended to play a minor role in the upcoming Potter movie, his role was minute (he was invited to Slughorn's party but was then ditched). Fails [[WP:N]]. I actually auditioned for the role of Harry Potter many years ago but I can't see myself notable enough for an article ——[[User:RyanLupin|<font face="Ravie"><font color="#000066">Ryan</font></font>]] | [[User talk:RyanLupin|<font face="Ravie"><font color="grey">t</font></font>]] • [[Special:Contributions/RyanLupin|<font face="Ravie"><font color="grey">c</font></font>]] 21:45, 24 May 2008 (UTC) |

*'''Keep''' per [[User:royalrec|royalrec]] Why is everybody so quick in shouting "delete"? That he had just this one role, OK. But he made it in several popular newspapers.

*'''Keep''' I see the news, I do the search, and sure enough it's AfD. When is it going to be admitted AfD, as currently practised, is becoming a drain on Wikipedia?

<s>:*'''Comment''' A ''minor role'', as noted by a majority of the stories that I've ready about the subject today, does not necessarily make this individual notable, per policy. If someone can cite any other films or theater productions in which he appeared in a more significant role, then I might be willing to consider changing my vote. As far as I've been able to research to this point, his death is the only thing - outside of that ''minor'' role in the next HP film - that has brought him even '''close''' to the notability threshold. --[[User:InDeBiz1|InDeBiz1]] <small>[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Editor_review/InDeBiz1 Review me!] / [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:InDeBiz1 Talk to me!]</small> 00:47, 25 May 2008 (UTC)</s> |

*'''Weak delete'''. The attention is due to the association with the Potter franchise rather than any notability on his part; I think it's not much different than if a crew member were to die during the production of one of the films - there would be a news report, but the crew member wouldn't merit an article. Mentioning Knox's death in the article for the film would be an appropriate solution, IMO. [[User:MisfitToys|MisfitToys]] ([[User talk:MisfitToys|talk]]) 00:45, 25 May 2008 (UTC) |

*'''Delete'''. If not for his death, no one would even know who he was and the article would not have been created in the first place. His roles thus far have not been noteworthy enough no matter the popularity of the films themselves (there are hundreds of other people in any given movie called "extras" that never receive any credit. Just being in the movie is not enough for an article to be created for each of them). Therefore, since WP is [[WP:NOTMEMORIAL|Not a memorial]], that alone is not reason for the article's existence. — [[User:CobraWiki|CobraWiki]] <sup>([[User talk:CobraWiki| <font color="darkgreen">jabber</font>]] | [[Special:Contributions/CobraWiki|<font color="blue">stuff </font>]])</sup> 02:27, 25 May 2008 (UTC) |

IMHO Everyone in the credited cast of Harry Potter films who is also in the credited cast of a national TV show, even for 1 episode, will probably pass AfD if their articles are ever nominated. Assuming the cited references are correct and IMDB goofed up, he's in 2 episodes of a TV series. Plus, according to references, he's in a reality TV show. Unfortunately, none of these references pre-date his death, which is why this is only a weak keep.

*'''Comment''' I have already weighed in as a Speedy Delete, but I have two more points to make. First, I wanted this article to work, if you look at history you will see I contributed to the expansion of it. To do so I did an internet search and unfortunately found NOTHING about this young man but his death, nothing in archives prior to his death and IMDb lists ONLY the Harry Potter role. His own hometown newspaper did not mention his role in Harry Potter until he died. Sadly, this brave young man is notable only for how he died. Second, his heroic death. Many people die protecting loved ones, people with histories far more notable than "minor/small" parts in a big movie. There is a local police officer who was killed in the line of duty in 2006, protecting fellow officers from a deranged gun man. This man was formerly a prosecuting attorney who was involved in several locally high profile cases, left that job to be a police man in his crime ridden hometown hoping to make it a better place. He was a civic leader and helped to formulate the national (in the United States) "Weed and Seed" program, "a community-based strategy sponsored by the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ), an innovative, comprehensive multiagency approach to law enforcement, crime prevention, and community revitalization". Steve Cox has no Wiki article because he does not meet notability requirements. Certainly he is more notable than an 18 year old with four lines in a big movie who died protecting his brother in a bar fight. Notability standards exist, whether all approve or not and this young man simply does not meet them. [[User:OneHappyHusky|OneHappyHusky]] ([[User talk:OneHappyHusky|talk]]) 04:21, 25 May 2008 (UTC) |

*'''Re-direct''' to either [[List of Harry Potter cast members]] or ''[[Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince (film)]]'', per above. His death can be mentioned in the HBP article (as I already did), but a very minor role in one film and ''The Bill'' does not qualify much notability.

*:'''Comment''': It's an article in the News of the World, which is hardly what you'd call a bastion of journalistic integrity. The IMDb, which is generally quite comprehensive, only mentions his minor role in the upcoming Potter film, which makes his suggested appearances in many other shows at best as an extra, which is not notable, and at worst completely wrong. --[[User:Tailkinker|Tailkinker]] ([[User talk:Tailkinker|talk]]) 09:22, 25 May 2008 (UTC) |

**Comment: I'm inclined to view with skepticism any discussion of how big the news is playing, as a lot of news sources seek to draw readers' attention with sensational headlines like "Harry Potter actor dies"; readers follow the link not because ''he'' was notable, but simply to find out ''which'' actor died.

*:While I totally understand your thoughts on loved ones reading debates and even agree on a personal level, I must add that I also believe such things can't be a part of the Wiki process. This is an internet encyclopedia and must remain as unbiased as an open contribution database can be. Sadly, that means that such arguments probably cannot be considered. Not only does it cast a shadow on the attempt to remain unbiased in this case but it is a slippery slope to all articles because it opens debate to what constitutes what a family should read or not read? Does that then not bias everything? However, in closing, I find your thoughts commendable and it is obvious you are a good person with a good heart, I just don't think we can consider the family in a debate such as this. I think the article has been vastly improved since I voted to delete, however, I think it is still not meeting the true notability standards of this site and setting emotions aside that is what we are arguing here.

* '''Keep''' Some how I doubt this deletion case would have been brought forward without his death. The fact that this actor has died has got the attention of international media and is therefore easy to be sourced. Wikipedia's stance is generally that if it has reliable sources that it can be kept as an article. The question that must be asked is does it harm Wikipedia by being here? The answer is no because looking at a well sourced article doesn't make others think less of the quality of the website, this isn't pointless original research about Dragonball Z or something. It has garnered the medias attention and the average surfer will not think less of Wikipedia for having it.

*'''[[WP:INDISCRIMINATE]]''' is one of the many guidelines that this article's proponents should memorize. Pay special attention to this key concept: '''merely being true, or even verifiable, does not automatically make something suitable for inclusion in the encyclopedia.''' Then scroll down to item #5, regarding news reports, which is all this article has ever been. Yes, Rob Knox existed. Yes, he no longer exists. Yes, his death was tragic. Yes, Harry Potter films exist. Yes, there are citations to verify all of this. We have these debates on AfD all the time--eventually, somebody will point out that non-notable Person X was mentioned once in the ''New York Times''. Well, guess again, because that in itself ''doesn't mean anything in terms of notability.'' There are millions of people who've been mentioned in the ''New York Times.'' Obviously, we're not going to have articles about all of them. A guy who is known for a minuscule role in a movie and for dying is simply not notable per WP policies, and to include him here would be an indiscriminate thing to do, in fact a violation of [[WP:INDISCRIMINATE]], as well as [[WP:ENTERTAINER]] and [[WP:NOTMEMORIAL]].

Actors, comedians, opinion makers, models, and television personalities: |
|||
** Has had significant roles or been featured multiple times in notable films, television, stage performances, and other productions. |
|||
** Has a large fan base or a significant "cult" following. |

*'''Delete''' Thanks for copying the WP:BIO requirements for actors etc. Did he have any significant roles or was he featured multiple times in those types of performances? No. Did he have a large fan base or significant cult following? No. Did he make special contributions to a field of entertainment? No. Therefore, he fails these criteria; if he's notable, it must be for something other than being an actor. Yes, he was killed, and his death made him prominent, but it's been long established that a well-publicised death doesn't automatically make someone notable: see [[Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Emily J. Hilscher|Emily J. Hilscher]] for an example. Since his acting and his death don't make him notable, what does?

*'''Strong keep''' - because of the Harry Potter factor, and because he has been in enough notable movies and tv shows (PS, more than one) to be notable. There are lots of American idol contestants with their own article, and they are notable only if you've watched the show. This guy is notable if you're a Harry Potter fan.

:I was asked to add which movies and TV shows. From the article: ''He is scheduled to appear as [[Marcus Belby]] in the 2008 film ''[[Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince (film)|Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince]]'', and had signed to appear in the planned film ''[[Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows (film)#Film adaptations|Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows]]''.[http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/uk/crime/article4004409.ece] Knox had been acting since the age of 11, and his first credited role was a small part in an episode of the [[ITV]] police drama ''[[The Bill]]'' and he also appeared in the [[Channel 4]] reality show "Trust me I'm a Teenager", and the BBC comedy ''[[After You've Gone (TV series)|After You've Gone]]''.

*'''keep''' Would likely have meet [[WP:BIO]] before his untimely death. He certainly meets it now. This is not a NOTMEMORIAL case since the individual is notable (NOTMEMORIAL is for when people add memorials for friends and family members). The fact that Knox's death is the main reason we have added an article is not terribly relevant. Like some of the more notable individuals who died in the Virginia Tech shooting, the fact that the individual was brought to our attention by this event does not mean we cannot have an article on the individual. Invocations of BLP1E also do not make sense since the individual is dead and is notable for multiple things. [[User:JoshuaZ|JoshuaZ]] ([[User talk:JoshuaZ|talk]]) 19:11, 26 May 2008 (UTC) |

*'''Keep''' I think deleting this article on the principle that Rob Knox does not have sufficient notoriety would be premature at this point. The movie he acted in has yet to be released. My suggestion would be to leave the article up for now. Perhaps after the movie has been released this can be revisited. Nobody could possibly forsee the impact that seeing this late actor in an upcoming movie may have on his fame.

*'''Delete''' prior to the tradegy the individual was likely not [[WP:NN|notable]] as the [[WP:RS|reliable sources]] on which an article could be based did not exist. The news coverage of the murder has picked up on him being in the movie in the same way that they pick up on murdered people who look after elderly relatives or play amateur football, it is the "hook" for the story. Given that the sources that are used in the article - for both his career and death - stem from [[WP:BLP1E|one event]] I do not think an article on the individual is appropriate. An article on the event itself might be possible ([[The murder of Rob Knox]]) but Wikipedia is [[WP:NOT#NEWS|not a news service]]. The current coverage that the event is recieving, whilst being widespread, is that of an ongoing story, rife with speculation where most of the facts are far from certain. With this in mind I do not think that the sources currently available can provide the kind of historical perspective required to write an encyclopaedia article that meets our inclusion standards of a [[WP:NPOV|neutral point of view]], [[WP:V|verifiability]] and [[WP:OR|no original research]].

*:It's really not up to you to decide that his presence in international media was just a hook to gain ratings. In fact the entire argument here is invalid until after the movie comes out because we otherwise cannot determine his importance. I don't believe he was an extra as some misinformed people have suggested and he isn't really a one event person because of participation in other programs. The fact that Rob Knox died before we could determine where his career was going also attests to the fact that he isn't a nobody. I don't honeslty see any reason for this not to be here, and since the movie isn't out we are literally incapable of determining his involvement.

::*But Wikipedia is [[WP:NOT#CBALL|not a crystal ball]], when the movie comes out if there are a lot of sources that refer to his acting performance not relating to his death then an article could be written, currently all the sources being used and available stem from the reports of his death, his acting career is currently not one of note outside that event.

*'''Regretful delete''' By my own standards, this article deserves its place in WP but I see that, as an entertainer, Knox does not reach the standards of the [[Wikipedia:ENTERTAINER#Entertainers]] guideline.

[[User:Thincat|Thincat]] ([[User talk:Thincat|talk]]) 12:28, 27 May 2008 (UTC) |

:*'''Comment''' #1 - I think this is exactly what we are debating. WP:ENTERTAINER lists one criteria for notability as ''Has had significant roles or been featured multiple times in notable films, television, stage performances, and other productions.'' He has credited roles for at least 2 episodes in at least one television series and at least one role in a notable film. Taking for granted that the television series is notable, it boils down to a question of "what does featured mean?" He clearly wasn't one of the top stars in either the TV show or the movie, but it wasn't like he was an extra either. It's up to us, as editors, to decide whether these relatively minor roles in "notable productions" cross the notability threshold. As you can see, there's a difference of opinion. |
|||
:*'''Comment''' #2 - His recent death made it much easier to verify his notability. Without his death, and thanks to an appearent goofup by IMDB that split him into two entries, the proof of his notability would probalby only be in industry publications, his hometown newspaper, and other relatively obscure places. The proof was there all along, it was just wasn't obvious.

*'''Delete''' - this happens all the time on wikipedia, someone you've never heard of, dies, and suddenly a wiki page appears. if you look at the recent deaths page, there's an entry about a japanese news reporter who killed himself, erm, sorry, but who is he?? the newspapers, news websites, the news, are all carrying stories saying "Potter star killed" it's misleading, he was not a star, probably no more than an extra with one or two words to say. Potter star to me is Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson, Rupert Grint, etc, and when i first saw the story online, heading as above ("Potter star killed") i thought Radcliffe was dead. if we keep this page, we'd be as well making pages for all the other harry potter extras, who may also have been in other programmes/films. this page was only made because he died, that's the bottom line. if he hadn't died, we'd not be having this discussion, because the page would never have been created.
