 * Actor has been part of notable productions but i can't seem to find any RS sources that actually write about the subject. HM Wilburt (talk) 15:51, 20 June 2019 (UTC)
 * Subject was in the main cast of According to Jim, but I don't see anything else that can be considered a "significant" role (i.e. a "starring" or a "lead" role, as opposed to a "supporting" role). So that gets the subject to one "significant" role, but WP:NACTOR requires "multiple significant roles". That's why I said the subject doesn't just fail WP:BASIC – they also fail to meet WP:NACTOR as well. --IJBall (contribs • talk) 15:56, 20 June 2019 (UTC)
 * He also has top billing on Old Dogs on IMDB and his name is credited in the trailer. Looks like a significant role. HM Wilburt (talk) 22:45, 20 June 2019 (UTC)
 * I guess it depends on how you want to define "top billing". Based on Old Dogs (film), it's clear that Travolta and Williams are the "true leads". I checked the "billing block" in the theatrical poster at, and I don't see Rayburn's name listed – that implies to me that he's not "main cast" in that film, but supporting cast (though he does appear more prominently in the cast list at the Wikipedia article...). So I'm not sure that it counts towards NACTOR (I personally would say that it probably does not)... And, of course, even if it does, that doesn't really solve the WP:BASIC issue which is the more pressing notability hurdle here. --IJBall (contribs • talk) 03:28, 21 June 2019 (UTC)
 * Did some more digging. Conner plays the son of the two dad's (Travolta/Williams) in the film. He is mentioned as starring here and his name is credited in the trailer next to Williams and Travolta see trailer at 2:16. So he has a significant role in the film. Looks like be passes WP:ENT, but he doesn't pass SIGCOV and lacks RS coverage. HM Wilburt (talk) 08:38, 21 June 2019 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Weak Delete WP:NACTOR requires significant roles, not starring or leading roles - otherwise it would say so. Supporting roles can also be significant - no doubt that's why there are awards for best supporting actor. However, in this case, I see only two significant roles - Kyle Orenthal in According to Jim, and Zach in Old Dogs. WP:NACTOR requires multiple significant roles. Unless we consider that playing one character in 8 seasons of one show is the equivalent of more than one role, he would not meet the criteria. I don't see coverage about him, so he doesn't meet WP:BASIC. RebeccaGreen (talk) 20:01, 22 June 2019 (UTC)
