Ben Davies (American actor)

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Article on young actor created by WP:SPA, evidently employed by Advantage Models, the agency representing him. Not yet notable per WP:NACTOR, as he's so far only had minor roles in a few low-notability films. Did well in school and college athletics, but not to the level required by WP:NTRACK. No significant coverage online from WP:Reliable sources, just interviews with niche film news sites and blogs, passing mentions elsewhere, and a lot of press releases. Sounds like a talented young man, but WP:TOOSOON for a Wikipedia article. Wikishovel (talk) 09:03, 11 November 2016 (UTC)

 * Delete Purely promotional article from a clear COI account. Routine/local coverage refbomb. On an unrelated note: how is AdvantageProducer not banned yet? 157.235.66.80 (talk) 17:04, 11 November 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete He has two roles in low budget films. If he had been the lead actor in either I might consider considering him notable, but he was not. In this case I think "multiple" needs to be more than 2. He is on track to make notability guidelines if he has a few more roles, or gets a lot better coverage, but not yet.John Pack Lambert (talk) 00:15, 13 November 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete Promo, COI and SPA account. Extremely minor actor. FuzzyGopher (talk) 22:51, 14 November 2016 (UTC)
 * Weak keep based on filmography. I think the article can be cleaned up to remove promotional material and turned into a stub. Instaurare (talk) 02:09, 16 November 2016 (UTC)
 * I do not think this is worthy of deletion. He has credible roles in feature films and many coming up. He seems very notable, even according to sources. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Nicolecrumbley (talk • contribs)
 * I notice that you have so far exclusively edited articles on actors and films connected with Advantage Models, with a very similar editing pattern to that of article creator User:AdvantageProducer. Are you the same person, editing under two accounts? Thanks, Wikishovel (talk) 19:49, 16 November 2016 (UTC)
 * No, it is not the same person editing under two accounts. I am not sure who the user of AdvantageProducer is. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Nicolecrumbley (talk • contribs) 19:53, 16 November 2016 (UTC)
