Semi-advertorialized WP:BLP of an actor, not properly sourced as having a strong claim to passing WP:NACTOR. As always, the notability of an actor doesn't vest in listing his roles, it vests in using WP:GNG-worthy reliable source media coverage about him and his roles to establish that his work has been externally validated as significant by somebody other than his own PR agent -- but three of the six footnotes here are the IMDb profiles of films he was in, one is a directory entry, and two are Q&A interviews where he's answering questions about himself in the first person, which means none of them are GNG-worthy support for notability at all.
And the strongest attempt at a notability claim here, the Young Artist Awards, would be fine if the article were properly sourced, but is not highly prominent or notable enough to confer an automatic notability freebie in the absence of any GNG-worthy coverage just because the article has the word "award" present in its text.
Obviously no prejudice against recreation in the future if and when he has the correct kind of sourcing to properly establish notability, but nothing stated here is "inherently" notable enough to exempt him from having to pass GNG on better sourcing than this.

- Delete. Fails WP:NACTOR and WP:GNG due to inadequate sourcing. Filmography consists of minor/supporting roles without the significant coverage required by WP:NACTOR. Sources include three unreliable IMDb links, promotional content, and multiple unsourced claims. Young Artist Awards insufficient to confer notability without proper independent coverage per WP:GNG. Article lacks substantial, independent, reliable sources required for WP:BLP. Keironoshea (talk) 21:22, 10 August 2025 (UTC)
