Brett Leigh

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Doesn't appear to meet WP:ENT. Looked for more substantial sources and found nothing. Roles in major films are very minor: "President of the Phoenix Fraternity" and "Nervous Intern". He was only a stand-in for 27 Dresses.

Theatrical roles are for local/touring productions of older works with no indication of length or significance supported by sources.

There is an unrelated reporter/photographer named Brett Leigh Dicks, which may be a stumbling block when searching for sources. Grayfell (talk) 07:28, 15 February 2016 (UTC)

 * Delete as there are no signs of independent notability for a better article. SwisterTwister   talk  21:02, 15 February 2016 (UTC)

In 2011, Leigh starred and directed independent film "Festival." He appeared in an episode of "The Young and the Restless" in 2013 as "Handsy." In 2014, Leigh played "Abraham Lincoln" in an episode of Nickelodeon's iCarly. He played a major role as the antagonist in the Lifetime movie "The Spirit of Christmas" in 2015. He plays "Jack Lemmon" in the film "Near Myth: The Oskar Knight Story," which has been completed and is set for theatrical release in 2016. Reference: NY Times and Rotten Tomatoes.

I wouldn't classify his role in the "Social Network" as "very minor." He carries most of the lines for several minutes during the scene with Andrew Garfield. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Colson7012 (talk • contribs) 09:15, 18 February 2016 (UTC)


 * Please see WP:ENT. Exactly how minor his role in the Social Network was is debatable, but an unnamed role with several minutes of dialog is general not considered significant without substantial sources saying otherwise. The NYT and Rotten Tomatoes sources are databases of performers which don't evaluate the significance of roles. The Spirit of Christmas TV movie isn't clearly notable, and his role's importance would need to be explained by a reliable source. He's credited pretty far from the top, which suggests that it's not all that significant. The Near Myth movie hasn't come out yet, and is not so obviously noteworthy that it bypasses WP:CRYSTAL. There is nothing preventing this article from being recreated in the future if it's deleted and better sources come along, but for now I still believe it's WP:TOOSOON.

 * Delete - searches did not turn up enough to show he passes WP:GNG, and he doesn't meet WP:NACTOR.  Onel 5969  TT me 03:31, 8 March 2016 (UTC)
