Cheeks (Actor)

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Article was created by using a previously deleted article Cheeks_(Multimedia_Artist). Additional discussion can be viewed at User_talk:CheeksTV. This current version appears to contain many of the same unreliable sources and/or statements that cannot reliably be verified. The articles subject fails to meet the relevant notability guidelines WP:ENTERTAINER and WP:MUSIC and WP:ACTOR Gustovratto (talk) 20:05, 17 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

User:CheeksTV, the creator of most of the content in this article has been inactive since 15 February 2011. When it was found in the sandbox, nothing after 2010 had been updated, rendering it more or less abandoned. I tried to contact the user multiple times, but with no success. It is vital for this article to be live. If I would edit out the unreliable sources, will it then be viable for its subsequent stay? AnonymousAnimus (talk) 21:06, 17 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Per site policy, it was not the original author that should have been contacted. Regardless, the content is virtually identical to the originally debated and deleted article with the exception of a few minor updates. Upon reviewing the subject and comparing the notability requirements as outlined in WP:ENTERTAINER, WP:MUSIC and WP:ACTOR, it appears the individual fails to qualify as a significantly noteworthy individual at this time.

~~ It seems like the only temporary problem is notability, as I can easily fix the unreliable sources. When it comes to WP:ENTERTAINER, Cheeks (Actor) fits into these criteria:

Has a large fan base or a significant "cult" following.
Has made unique, prolific or innovative contributions to a field of entertainment.

It also states on WP:MUSIC that at least one criteria has to be met to fit for application, which in this case it does;

Has been the subject of multiple, non-trivial, published works appearing in sources that are reliable and are independent from the musician or ensemble itself.

It didn't say what criteria the article's subject has to meet for WP:ACTOR to apply, but there is clear proof that he is an actor. Maybe the article's parentheses could contain something that would work better? User:AnonymousAnimus (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 15:48, 19 August 2011 (UTC).[reply]

DELETE. Has released music on his own independent label. Music has not charted on Billboard. Fails WP:MUSIC. Acting experience is in 2 short films and one movie in which he has a minor part. Fails WP:ACTOR. Majority of sources in article comes from his label site or his own website. These are not reliable sources per WP:SOURCES. iTunes source only verifies that his EP was released. Movie source only verifies movie was released. These are not about him. There are no reliable sources about him in the article and I couldn't find any on the web. Per WP:GNG, he has not"...received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject" Fails WP:GNG. Bgwhite (talk) 17:15, 22 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

DELETE. I, User:AnonymousAnimus (talk), agree on the deletion of Cheeks (Actor) as a result of the facts brought up in this debate. Thank you for taking a part in settling this. I respect the rules of Wikipedia and its standardization of article sufficiency, so deletion is absolutely the best thing to do. As the creator of the article, I approve. —Preceding undated comment added 15:36, 23 August 2011 (UTC).
