 * Delete. It's already been deleted twice before as not notable.  There's no reason it should be here now.  I searched two reliable sources for soaps, neither list him as contract and this "part" is not listed in the actor's IMDB profile.  It's not likely a contract role but more likely a recurring, short term role.  Regardless, the article's been deleted twice and should remain that way. IrishLass (talk) 13:54, 26 November 2007 (UTC)
 * It is a contract role. There isn't a lot of info about it online because he only began appearing on the show last week. The news section on the official B&B site (http://www.boldandbeautiful.com) states "Mykel Shannon Jenkins joins the cast of THE BOLD AND THE BEAUTIFUL in the contract role of "Charlie Baker," Executive Producer and Head Writer, Bradley P. Bell announced today." Every other B&B contract character has an article here. Why should this one be any different? Kogsquinge (talk) 20:42, 26 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment No, not every other contract role character has an article here. If he lasts more than 13 weeks, then he should possibly have a page if he's not a one hit wonder.  Daytime often hires someone on "contract" but it's only for 6-13 weeks.  If he is truly a long term player, then he should have an article.  There are several characters from Days of our Lives that were contract but never had an article because their "contract" was only 13 weeks. Contract doesn't mean notability.IrishLass (talk) 13:38, 27 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep -- all indications are that this is a new contract role. Obviously, since the role only began a few days ago, there is not much current information, but more information about the character will be revealed as time goes on. Dbart (talk) 22:23, 26 November 2007 (UTC)
