Notability not yet established in accordance with WP:NACTOR or WP:GNG. It appears that the films involved minor roles, rather than significant ones. Of the four sources provided, three are IMDb and the other doesn't mention the subject at all. A search for additional sources didn't find anything better.

 * Delete per nom. — Malik Shabazz Talk/Stalk 06:22, 11 November 2012 (UTC)

In Attack The Block and My Brother's Keeper (Or How Not To Survive The Apocalypse) he had leading roles also his appearences in Casualty were quite significant, as his story arc took place over two episodes. And in Payback Season he may not of been a main character but his role wasn't minor. I can find other sources to provide the same information other then IMDb and the source that doesn't mention him was used as a source for the release date of a film. -SayPeanuts (talk) 14:49, 11 November 2012 (UTC)

I have now provided 15 sources. -SayPeanuts (talk) 19:39, 11 November 2012 (UTC)

 * Delete Providing 15 sources, or 100 sources, is no better than providing two sources unless those 15 or 100 sources of of good quality. Seven of the sources merely list Alex Esmail in a credit list or something similar, a couple don't even mention him, others are unreliable sources such as YouTube and IMDb, one of them does no more than show his date of birth, one is a very brief note about him at at pnrnetworks, which does not seem to be a reliable independent source, and in any case the note is too insubstantial to do anything significant towards showing notability. We are left with two good sources, namely articles about the cast of Attack The Block in The Guardian and Zimbio. In both of these, Esmail occurs as one of several people referred to, and the combined content about him amounts to nowhere near the kind of substantial coverage in multiple sources required by the notability guidelines.

 * Weak keep. His role in Attack the Block was not a minor one. We don't have enough for a detailed biography, but his roles so far are sufficient that an article is borderline justified. Perhaps incubation may be best as it seems likely that his role in Northern Soul may tip the balance. --Michig (talk) 08:43, 18 November 2012 (UTC)

 * Keep. Career just makes it in under WP:ENT with a nod toward WP:ANYBIO. We'll be hearing more and the article can be expanded and improved over time and through regular editing.  Schmidt,  MICHAEL Q. 19:17, 11 December 2012 (UTC)
