Dean Neistat

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

The article is detailed, but he only has some passing mention in few reliable sources. Marvellous Spider-Man  12:30, 13 December 2016 (UTC) - The above is simply not correct. There are 2 references to his brother on the page and 1 of 13 sources listed links to a specific video brother's Youtube page that Dean helped create. The NY Post source reference gives credit to all 4 people involved in that particular video.

 * KEEP The article asserts notability based on his military service and career in Film and Television. The article makes several references to reputable sources (and has been updated with additional sources).  He is a generally recognizable public figure and an decorated US service member. List of Military decorations based on a post to his personal blog and instagram (added source in article).  Military records are not generally publicly available but it is a crime to claim some decorations under the Stolen Valor Act of 2013 so it is unlikely the post is inaccurate.  I'm sure the article will be populated with more information and sources unknown to this editor.  User talk:Delta245 19:28, 13 December 2016 (UTC)
 * DELETE article does not assert notability. He's a stuntman, a bit-part actor, and was in the military. Is that list of medals unusual? How would the reader know? I'd change my mind if it cited WP:RSs saying his decorations are sufficiently WP:PERSON ... richi (hello) 20:23, 13 December 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete - Most of the non-primary sources are about his brother Casey Neistat (a popular YouTuber). - The   Magnificentist  18:07, 18 December 2016 (UTC)

 * Delete Doesn't meet notability as an airman under WP:MILPEOPLE, with a highest rank of captain and...fairly normal awards for a lot of service members after 15 years of war. Nothing approaching the nation's highest honors. Many small roles, but nothing to indicate he is more than simply a working stuntman. His brother...means literally nothing.


 * A lot of the sources are poor quality: his vlog, his brother's subreddit (which means less than nothing), his IMDB (probably completed by him). A lot of actual sources seem to be just passing mentioning. I'm not finding anything better myself really.


 * Sorry, but a lot of individually not-notable things does not add up to an notable thing. Timothy Joseph Wood  18:57, 21 December 2016 (UTC)


 * Delete - Does not meet WP:GNG or WP:SOLDIER. You don't inherit notability - you don't become notable just because a film you were a stuntman in is notable. Exemplo347 (talk) 20:04, 21 December 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete too bit part to be notable as an actor, his stunts are also not notable.John Pack Lambert (talk) 14:23, 23 December 2016 (UTC)
