Fails WP:NACTOR and subsequently WP:BIO. Minor actor at the moment. So far down the list of actors in Fast 8, that it is hard to see him. Possibly WP:TOOSOON. scope_creep (talk) 14:36, 11 February 2017 (UTC)

 * Delete: TOOSOON for an actor to be notable. KGirlTrucker81 huh? what I've been doing 22:47, 11 February 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete Too many of the listed films are unreleased to show notability.John Pack Lambert (talk) 04:45, 12 February 2017 (UTC)
 * Keep Too soon to vote about deletion since the article is currently being worked on and relevant information needs to be added. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Anna Johannsson (talk • contribs)
 * Keep Notability is not isolated just to the USA. This individual is notable in Iceland, but somehow other people seem to ignore that completely.--Snaevar (talk) 15:21, 12 February 2017 (UTC)
 * Comment Where is the verifiable sources please.scope_creep (talk) 16:42, 12 February 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete Striked my comment above. This actor has not been in an main role in a movie, and as such I can see why he is not notable.--Snaevar (talk) 21:22, 18 February 2017 (UTC)


 * Keep Added national lottery commercials and three dozen Icelandic projects - more work needs to be added before marking this for deletion. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Anna Johannsson (talk • contribs) 23:18, 13 February 2017 (UTC)
 * Appearing in lottery commercials is not exactly the think notability is made of.John Pack Lambert (talk) 19:10, 15 February 2017 (UTC)
 * Keep Commercials can be more notable than TV/FILMS - some even have their own wikipedia pages: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Foreman_Grill — Preceding unsigned comment added by Anna Johannsson (talk • contribs)
 * Delete. Fails WP:GNG. The subject must be widely known, not just in Iceland. I agree with KGirlTrucker8. WP:TOOSOON. SW3 5DL (talk) 00:28, 14 February 2017 (UTC)
 * The assertion that The subject must be widely known, not just in Iceland. is wrong. — Sam Sailor 07:49, 18 February 2017 (UTC)
 * Keep Bjarnason is also known globally for successful Icelandic films including Life in a fishbowl (2014) and the Oath (2016). — Preceding unsigned comment added by Anna Johannsson (talk • contribs)
 * Keep He is currently filming a series for Netflix. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Anna Johannsson (talk • contribs)
 * Note to closer - Article creator, Anna Johannsson, who is new and may not know how to comment in AFD's, has !voted 5 6 times in this discussion.  CBS 527 Talk 15:00, 17 February 2017 (UTC)
 * Note to closer - Article creator, it might be necessary to delete this article but it would be better to get help with improving it. I have made some improvements myself but this does not seem to change anything in this discussion, which is now longer than the original article. I would recommend we delete the article now if that is the goal so I don´t spend more time replying or improving it. Thank you :( — Preceding unsigned comment added by Anna Johannsson (talk • contribs) 15:11, 17 February 2017 (UTC)


 * Delete - Article and source do not establish establish notability per guidelines. Fails WP:NACTOR and basic WP:GNG as subject has not received "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject". Current sources consists of Imdb and trivial mentions such as a birthday or a graduation notation. May be WP:TOOSOON for article on subject.   CBS 527 Talk 15:24, 17 February 2017 (UTC)
 * Keep User cbs527 does not seem to have any knowledge of the subject and arguments for deletion are completely unfounded. There are nine different references from big magazines including seen and heard, news papers and a pretty solid IMDB profile. Hope you don´t let cbs527 change your mind based on limited info and knowledge. It would be great if someone would google the subject and add more references. Thanks. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Anna Johannsson (talk • contribs) 16:01, 17 February 2017 (UTC)


 * This discussion is whether an article is able to meet Wikipedia's article guidelines and policies. This article does not meet the minimum standard of WP:GNG as the subject has not received "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject". Article's sources do not meet all 3 requirement. Current sources:
 * 1. Article is about people who have a birthday on October 7th
 * 2. Announcement of new advertising videos for University of Iceland Lottery. Subject isn't mentioned or credited in text or video's.
 * 3, 4, 5. IMBd - not a reliable source. It's a user edit site.
 * 6. Subject doesn't appear to be mentioned.
 * 7. List of June, 2004 University of Reykjavík graduates
 * 8. Short 8 sentence article - source with most coverage but nothing to establish notability.
 * 9. Short description and video about subject's attempt to run in a marathon.


 * I tried to find some sources to add to the article to help establish notability but was unable to. A search of all Google search engines and HighBeam results in a few hits for Ágúst Bjarnason, the sciencest, but nothing for this subject to establish notability.
