Delete this article per WP:NYA and failing all clauses of WP:NACTOR until actor has had significant roles in movie and television. This child actor although having feeble notability for co-starring in Wrinkle in time, he has no other significant major roles out of his so far diminutive 6 credit acting career. This article also relies on a primary tweet source which is strongly repudiated on wikipedia. I believe this actor could have article if he gains more roles in the future and receives better coverage. Alternatively you could redirect him to A Wrinkle in Time. ₛₒₘₑBₒdyₐₙyBₒdy₀₅ (talk) 00:26, 5 January 2021 (UTC)

 * Keep as a stub - I googled his name and NBC, Teen Vogue, Screen Rant, and Rappler have all covered him. The New York Times, Deadline, Rolling Stone, The Boston Herald, Variety, and ABC news all give him bare mentions. That's enough for him to pass WP:SIGCOV. He passes one clause of WP:NACTOR because he's taken roles in "A Wrinkle in Time" and Apple TV's "Home Before Dark". There isn't much potential to expand the article at this time which could be a problem, but he passes the notability requirements, and there are a plethora of reliable sources who've covered him, so I vote to keep VERSACESPACE 03:47, 5 January 2021 (UTC)
 * @User:VersaceSpace, Can you provide the sources you mentioned so I can check them to see if he didn't just name check in those articles? because name-checking "bare articles" does not fit significant coverage criteria, That literally goes against it as it doesn't cover the subject. And I suggest we should delete this and send it to the article draft for improvements than keep it as a stub using primary sources and a non-detail description. And the first film is good, but Home before dark is just 10 episodes and he's a secondary character. My overall opinion is that this article's creation was too soon because with child actors, they can disappear from acting very quickly and we would want to make sure not to make article like this too soon, especially if it is a stub with a lack of reliable and significant sources.   ₛₒₘₑBₒdyₐₙyBₒdy₀₅ (talk) 04:11, 5 January 2021 (UTC)

 * Weak Keep Subjects references do show notability and do not just show passing mentions. Does need major cleanup, but I believe the actor does just, just pass WP:NACTOR and WP:GNG, as I can personally find significant coverage and he has had two main roles in two major productions (Home Before Dark, A Wrinkle in Time). If I am correct, that is passing the point in WP:NACTOR that the individuals proposing deletion believe he doesn't. Coreykai (talk) 13:48, 5 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete and send to draft Actor currently does not pass WP:NACTOR with only 6 credited roles with one of them as a co-starring role and the rest as small minor roles which does't warranted current article creation. Actor also fails the other two clauses of WP:NACTOR with no award nominations or significant contributions to the field of acting mostly because he's a child actor. Actor aslo fails the reliable source clause of WP:GNG as the article relies too heavily on a questionable primary source. Most coverage I can find on him is name check mentions from his roles as Charles wallace murry in A Wrinkle in time, content farm garbage articles and Questionable sources which is not generally accepted as a reliable or significant source if the content can not be verified, So delete. ₛₒₘₑBₒdyₐₙyBₒdy₀₅ (talk) 15:05, 5 January 2021 (UTC)

 * Delete he has at most 1 role that was a signifcant role in a notable production. The minimum cutoff is 2 such roles, so we should delete the article until he has another significant role in a notable production.John Pack Lambert (talk) 17:53, 5 January 2021 (UTC)
 * He has two significant roles, as stated above, Home Before Dark and A Wrinkle in Time. The former is not a lead role but it is a significant role. versacespace 17:06, 25 January 2021 (UTC)
