No evidence of any notability. Most seems to be self puffery with the same press releases featuring in at least two sources. Own YouTube refs count for nothing. It appears to be someone who has apeared on radio and has talked to a famous actor. This looks very much like self publicity. Fails WP:GNG  Velella  Velella Talk 04:59, 25 January 2017 (UTC)  Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Delete Subject fails WP:ANYBIO and WP:GNG. The article relies on primary sources (all contemporaneous) and GNG requires secondary sources. Most of the "citations" are in some way connected to the subject and not independent of them, to include the BBC and Mirror sources. (If I conduct an interview with someone, that interview isn't independent of me or the interviewee.) I'd be fine with allowing the original editor to have this moved back into their userspace for refinement in a few years' time. Chris Troutman  ( talk ) 17:28, 25 January 2017 (UTC)
