Article a non-notable film actor. Fails WP:NACTOR and WP:SIGCOV, he has only played minor roles in movies/series, some of which don't even credit him. The author seems very desperate to get this article up despite being declined in Draftspace and also placed an AFC template showing the article was approved when infact it was never approved.

Delete: Trivial coverage of his roles [1], in a list of other actors in the series. Only mentioned here [2] for a stage play and an interview for the play (behind a paywall, it's been archived here) [3]. I also would have done a PROD on this, not notable per our standards and a lack of sourcing. Oaktree b (talk) 21:31, 24 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Keep: The subject is clearly a notable cast addition to a notable TV series. I have now added multiple reliable, independent sources that show he is one of the main characters. He appears in 'first look' imagery for the show, and as part of a group of 3 other actors announced as joining the series (who all have wikipedia entires) clearly suggesting his role as significant and noteworthy to the series.

I have added further sources that reference the stage plays mentioned. From a quick online search I can see he has clearly been in further stage productions, there are multiple reviews in reputable papers. I included these in a previous Draftspace article but was told by you that it seemed promotional, so I removed them.

I have removed mentions of his minor roles or any that don't credit him.

I must apologise for placing an AFC template on my previous draftspace article. I am new to all this and obviously still learning. I thought a move to mainspace was an action I was allowed to take. Once informed otherwise I removed it from mainspace.

I decided to delete my previous draft, and be bold and try to publish my first mainspace article. I would ask that you remember Wikipedia's guideline 'not to bite the newcomers'. Your claim that i seem 'very desperate' seems rather personal, and discouraging to a new editor. JodieGarcelle (talk) 10:27, 25 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delete: I don’t think the subject has met the requirements for WP:NACTOR at this time.Contributor892z (talk) 03:51, 1 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delete A search shows only trivia, passing mentions, press releases, etc., than deep coverage from Independent sources. -- Tumbuka Arch (talk) 10:21, 8 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
A search clearly shows subject is included in the headline of several articles as a new addition to a notable television series (‘Variety’ article for example - which is clearly a reputable, independent source). Subject’s photograph and shot of him from the series appear in many of the articles. I fail to see why subject would be included with prominence in such articles if not clearly a notable addition to the television series.

A search also shows a wide range of reviews of his stage work at notable theatres, in reputable newspapers and arts blogs. JodieGarcelle (talk) 10:17, 9 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
