 * Keep he will have a recurring role in a television series, (8 episodes), and also appeared in three episodes of a series, which I think will be notable. And his role in iCarly: iGo to Japan was supporting, and he's had guest spots in multiple TV series. I also think that will also make him very notable. His is also a demo of his work.

 * Delete. Fails WP:ENT. Minor roles don't get him past it, not do future roles. Niteshift36 (talk) 08:03, 22 July 2009 (UTC)

 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so consensus may be reached.


 * Delete "will have" followed by [citation needed] looks really bad. WP:ENTERTAINER doesn't address guest roles on TV shows, and I think it should - take for example an actor like Donnie Keshawarz who has appeared in many multi-episode arcs on primetime US TV series, but has no notable leading role. I think that establishes notability. However, I don't see any particularly notable roles on the filmography present in the Shum article. A cursory search for sources reveals YouTube fan videos, a dating/gossip site, and Shum's own Twitter account. Nothing suggests he's notable currently. Of course, he can become notable, but until he does, delete. Nosleep  break my slumber 23:42, 28 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete Not-notable kid's show guest star. A regular role (and Glee needs to actually have those five episodes air to begin with) is needed before notability is established.  Nate  • ( chatter ) 04:21, 29 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete, having a future recurring role does not make him notable and his past work does not make him notable. If the recurring role comes about and he gets significant coverage then recreate the article.  A new name 2008 (talk) 20:32, 29 July 2009 (UTC)
