Chad Coe

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Actor seems non notable, and approx half of this BLP is unsourced. Also, it seems to have been written by the subject, which is very much discouraged. It also seems overly promotional in tone, but due to the number of sources (although not sure if they're reliable), I thought it best to go for AfD rather than Speedy Delete.

First of all this account was created in order to create the page Chad Coe so that is why it reflects a similar name. This writer is not the actor of which the post is being created. Second, what deems an actor notable in the eyes of Wikipedia. There are plenty examples of less "Notable" actors that already exist on the site. How do you measure this? The post Chad Coe suggest and can prove through the references that Chad Coe has been on Network shows, theatrically released films, and on stage at the most prestigious theatre maybe in the world. Third of all the being called promotional in tone most likely reflects the mention of his current project and his next film. That is no different than listing a filmography which will be added at a later date. This writer is not trying to sell tickets or promote, but just share a relevant public figure who will continue to become more notable as his career continues. Also to refer to the comment "not sure if the sources are reliable" Were the References even checked? I can assure you each one is valid spanning from Stephanie powers personal website ^ Powers, Stephanie (2, June 2013) "Latest News"Retrieved September 11, 2013 mentioning the work they both did together in her latest news section to a release of the World Premiere of The Light Bulb ^ BWW News Desk (4 September 2013) "NoHo Arts Center Ensemble to Premiere THE LIGHT BULB" BroadwayWorld.com Retrieved September 11th, 2013. This writer wants her contribution to not be judged based on the fact that she hasn't been editing and contributing for years but by the content of the post. I believe the post is valid and willing to edit if necessary, but feel that Chad Coe is a public figure of note and worthy of Wikipedia. I did not have a chance to Reference everything yet but can assure you he is well received and well known. Also with his next few projects he is slated to be one of the up and coming leading men.

Thank you for your time and respect the process. Please let me know what we can do to solve this together. chadmcoe —Preceding undated comment added 05:49, 12 September 2013 (UTC)


 * Hi Chadmcoe, can I first ask that you sign your posts with 4 ~'s. Next, for information regarding notability, please see the guidelines set out by wikipedia, specifically WP:NACTOR. I apologise for assuming that you are the actor in person, but you must admit that the username certainly suggests that. I think there is actually a rule against having a username suggesting that you are a specific person, although I can't look for it at the moment. Back onto the notability guideline, from what I can see, this actor does not fill any of those three requirements. I can assure you that I did read the sources, and I'm not sure any of them could be called particularly reliable. Nevertheless, I still maintain that the latter half of this BLP is unsourced. There is no specific information about Chad in any of these sources except that he was in the productions, so any information about a camera rental company or clothing company is completely unsourced. An imdb profile has been added since my last message, but this is inappropriate for use as a BLP source, as it is user editable (it's like using wikipedia as a source). I am not questioning the validity of the sources, I am questioning the reliability, and I'm afraid I can't take your assurances on that. While your status as a new user is perhaps slightly relevant to this AfD (it lends some evidence to the fact that you may be Chad Coe), the main reasons I have listed this for AfD are those explained above. While writing this message, I managed to find the guideline on usernames. Please read WP:SPA and more importantly WP:REALNAME, because they explain that it is somewhat likely that you will be blocked for your use of that username.
