Dan Li (actor)

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Not notable. While Li has appeared in several notable films and TV shows, none of their roles appear to be significant, with the potential exception of My Spy Family. However, Li's character only appears to have appeared in 5 episodes out of the 46-episode run. His role on Thomas may become significant, but does not appear to be at the moment. For this reason, Li is not considered to be likely to be notable by WP:NACTOR.

More importantly, Li does not meet the basic biographical notability criteria. The only source I was able to find that was not a press release or trivial mention was this Resonate article, which only talks about Li for one paragraph in a piece purportedly about him. This is well below the required significant coverage in multiple independent reliable sources. AntiCompositeNumber (talk) 22:29, 17 February 2020 (UTC)

 * Weak Delete or Incubate - Determining what roles are significant by this subject is ambiguous. That is, to me having multiple episode stints on a show could in itself be considered significant. However, this isn't drawn up by the sources and with the sources provided the subject wholly fails WP:GNG. I think incubate in AfC is another option. However, proper warnings or temp bans would need to be issued to MetaWizz4331 to ensure they discontinue their disruptive editing and moving of the page.

 * Weak Delete or Draftify: I agree with the nominator. While the subject has done quite a bit of work over many years, I don't think he quite reaches the notability standards for actors—yet. As the nominator pointed out, the subject's role in Thomas may bring him notability, and for that reason I would recommended that the article be moved to draftspace should the consensus be to delete it.
