Chad Todhunter

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Not notable. Actor lacking multiple significant roles in notable productions. Just lots of minor parts. Closest is a recurring role on Party of Five but that not that significant and is one role. Article puffs up his roles to make him look more notable, eg saying he starred in Never Been Kissed when he just appeared as Stoner #1. Todhunter lacks significant coverage in independent reliable sources. Just a littble bit about how someone married him. duffbeerforme (talk) 09:18, 14 May 2013 (UTC)
 * Weak delete He's done a lot more than many actors who appear on AfD, but I'm not sure that appearing in 10 episodes of Party of Five, 5 episodes of True Blood, and 3 of LAX quite qualifies as multiple "significant roles" per WP:NACTOR. Other parts were all smaller as far as I can tell. I'm not seeing any media coverage via Google either so he fails WP:GNG. --Colapeninsula (talk) 17:06, 14 May 2013 (UTC)

 * Comment He's certainly been in a lot of things and I took a shot at seeing if I could identify any of them as significant roles. The New York times once referred to him offhand as "Chad Todhunter, star of 'Party of Five,'" but that is as close as I could get. I think his several film roles and numerous TV ones should perhaps add up to notability. 24.151.116.25 (talk) 20:03, 29 May 2013 (UTC)
 * Keep - His role as Alvin in Penny Dreadful (film) would appear to count as significant. . His voice work in LA Noire would also appear to count as significant: "As Courtney Sheldon, Todhunter is an important character in LA Noire." 24.151.116.25 (talk) 15:24, 30 May 2013 (UTC)
 * Usuing imdb like that is not always a good way to see the significance of a role. The World War Z imdb page still shows Eric West at third on the list showing a fundamental flaw. A better way is to look at reviews, eg. No mention of Toddhunter or his character. Looks like he played just another victim, not a significant role. duffbeerforme (talk) 02:51, 6 June 2013 (UTC)
 * Keep/or not Duffbeerforme "Looks like he played just another victim, not a significant role." Opinion or fact? Based on World War Z imdb page and Erik West???? Not what is expected of a Wikipedia administrator! Perhaps if you search the actor by his correct name "Todhunter" (one D) you may have more luck. This delete feels odd!  If you have played LA Noire you know the character Courtney Sheldon, this is a major role! mixed with 10 episodes of Party of Five, 5 episodes of True Blood, and 3 of LAX along with some 40 additional roles? Seems notable enough! 50.1.170.155  (talk) 02:24, 08 June 2013 (UTC)


 * I believe (based on the number of episodes and the New York Times referring to him as "star of 'Party of Five'") that that was a significant role. In LA Noire, he voiced an important character, but I'm not familiar with the game, so I can't say if it was a significant role. The source cited for LA Noire says he "is not really known. He’s potentially a rising star though..." He has not received significant coverage from reliable sources. Given that it's questionable whether Todhunter meets WP:NACTOR and that he doesn't meet the more important WP:GNG, the article should probably be deleted.

 * Delete. A bunch of minor roles don't add up to notability. Fails NACTOR and lack of significant third party coverage. Niteshift36 (talk) 15:00, 10 June 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete No evidence of "significant roles in multiple notable films, television shows, stage performances, or other productions" required by WP:NACTOR.  Mini  apolis  18:09, 10 June 2013 (UTC)
