fails WP:ENT. only really known for 1 role. . LibStar (talk) 11:25, 23 November 2009 (UTC)


 * Delete. As nomination says, fails WP:ENT. Dog  poster  11:59, 23 November 2009 (UTC)


 * Delete - Like nominator says, only 1 real role. Two other roles are uncredited or "Neighborhood Boy".  Hardly notable.  Logical Fuzz (talk) 13:51, 23 November 2009 (UTC)

 * Keep and expand, as this youngster gets press even if only 10 . Time to fix, not delete.  Schmidt,  MICHAEL Q. 19:02, 25 November 2009 (UTC)
 * WP:CRYSTAL, we can't pre empt nor predict future roles or notability. of course we can recreate if circumstances change. LibStar (talk) 02:12, 26 November 2009 (UTC)
 * My keep opinion is based upon his current meeting of WP:GNG. I am allowed the reasonable assumption that he will get more, but that was not the basis of my keep.  Schmidt,  MICHAEL Q. 06:13, 26 November 2009 (UTC)

 Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, – Juliancolton  &#124; Talk 15:51, 30 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so consensus may be reached.


 * Delete - the article subject does not meet WP:ENT at this time. The article can be included in the future if and when he takes on additional substantial roles in tv/film/theatre, or otherwise garners enough independent coverage to meet the general notability guideline.--Jezebel's Ponyo shhh 21:06, 1 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Yup, he fails WP:ENT. But WP:ENT does not trump the WP:GNG.  Schmidt,  MICHAEL Q. 00:58, 3 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Could you confirm how you believe he meets even the general guidelines? I tried to find additional sources that gave him significant coverage so that I could add them to the article and !vote keep, but I came up empty handed, hence the delete !vote. Of the 29 google news hits (the majority of which are duplicates of the same syndicated review), the only coverage is a passing mention to the individual as a cast member of The Unborn.

 * Delete as failing WP:ENT and failing WP:GNG. Linking to Google News search results without actually examining the articles themselves provides absolutely no information as to what the coverage represents.  If one actually goes to the articles found in the search, one would find that Ethan Cutkosky is mentioned as playing a role in the film.  Period.  Full stop.  There is no significant coverage to establish any notability, general or as per our entertainer guidelines. -- Whpq (talk) 18:03, 3 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Struck my comments. Likely much better to have all child actors grow up and get more roles and more press. And in further consideration of the possible legal concerns when writing about minor children, perhaps editors might wish to consider a rewrite of WP:BLP to prevent articles about minor children from being added to the pages of Wikipedia in the first place? I have seen more and more articles about child actors who are in some popular show who themselves may or may not have received coverage for their work. But even were notability guidelines to be met, in the long run the project is better safe than sorry.   Schmidt,  MICHAEL Q. 19:34, 3 December 2009 (UTC)
 * I have posed this question at WP:BLP.  Schmidt,  MICHAEL Q. 19:56, 3 December 2009 (UTC)
