Harvey gomez

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Contested PROD. Bio about an american actor who "has starred in a number of films, such as Machete, Bandits, and The Cell". The only source given is a sparse IMDb profile which fails to back up the claims. No notability apparent under WP:GNG or WP:ACTOR. § FreeRangeFrog croak 04:31, 8 February 2013 (UTC)


 * I am harvey gomez agent, we are currently under-going updating the IMDB pages for all the films Gomez has been featured in — Preceding unsigned comment added by User:Joybox11 (talk • contribs)
 * Dear Joybox11, please read WP:COI to understand tthe relationship created by your being Harvey's agent and your interest in the article. Also, please know that what Harvey may be doing in the future does not create a suitable notability for Wikipedia UNLESS that work is the recipient of significant coverage in reliable sources. And please note, while we at Wikipedia consider it as reasonable as a starting point for our looking for reliable sources, we do not consider a listing in IMDB to be reliable nor a sign of notability.

 * Delete Not seeing a lot of reliable sources for the actor. As such does not seem to meet WP:NACTOR. Concerns about a WP:COI as above, but that's a here-nor-there AfD point. Mkdw talk 08:41, 8 February 2013 (UTC)


 * We have contacted Yahoo Movies, Rotten Tomatoes, IMDB, and more sites who are updating Harvey Gomez' profiles and information. Please be patient as it should be updated by Monday 2/11/13. For now, I will update Harvey Gomez' Wiki to the reliable sources of films he has been apart of. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 108.230.24.130 (talk • contribs) 16:05, 8 February 2013

 * Delete per lack of notability under WP:GNG and WP:ENTERTAINER. Information at database websites like IMDb and Rotten Tomatoes is insufficient; per WP:GNG, there needs to have been coverage (news and periodicals, in this case) directly about the subject. People have to be covered out there before they are covered in here. Erik (talk &#124; contribs) 18:52, 8 February 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete per being at best TOO SOON, and perhaps redirect to Imperial Sugar, a notable firm of which he is part owner. While Harvey may well have been in a handful of projects ending in 1997, mere listings in film databases do not confer notability. His family's company may be notable, but Harvey currently is not per Wikipedia standards.  Schmidt,  MICHAEL Q. 21:21, 8 February 2013 (UTC)
 * Wikipedia should not be deleted, all information has been updated, and this page has 7 reliable sources/references. As you may see several movie sites have Harvey Gomez listed and all the movies he has been apart of are listed, and I am not mentioning IMDB, If you google Anna Luna, Machete II or any of the other films you will see Harvey Gomez has been apart of them, and they are reliable. I do not think this should be deleted, however maybe it could be edited again with more sources. If this is the case, we can add more references for Harvey Gomez. I am Harvey Gomez publicist and we are updating all his information for all these sites, please just give us a week to get all updated. Do not delete please. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 50.11.16.26 (talk • contribs) 00:47, 9 February 2013‎
 * Please read WP:Identifying reliable sources to understand that, while useful for expanded searches, IMDB is NOT considered a reliable source. Also, the James C. Kempner bio at Forbes website does not state that Harvey has any relationship with the Imperial Sugar company. And while we can accept that Harvey has been in the asserted projects, his simply being in a film or TV show (as an infant) does not impart any notability. For that we need a properly reliable source speaking about the role and actor in some sort of useful detail.  Does Harvey have a cult fanbase? Has Harvey won any notable awards?  Schmidt,  MICHAEL Q. 04:00, 9 February 2013 (UTC)
 * Harvey does have a great fanbase, I am in the process of finding more information for sources. Please bare with me. Harvey has not won any awards, he stopped acting when he was 14, and now that he is 23 he is starting to act again. Would press release work? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 50.11.16.26 (talk) 15:58, 9 February (UTC}
 * No, press releases are not valid sources. See this for more information. § FreeRangeFrog croak 22:15, 9 February 2013 (UTC)
 * okay well I am currently getting news articles and more coverages from sites. please be patient — Preceding unsigned comment added by 50.11.16.26 (talk • contribs) 17:41, 10 February 2013‎
 * Pertty much you have seven days to bring forward the reliable sources required. And as much luck as I wish you, it is likely that the article will be deleted after this AFD has run its seven days. Do not be discouraged, as it is never an intention to chase contributors away from Wikipedia. IF this artricle is deleted, you may request it be placed in a user workspace/subpage for continued work out of mainspace... and IN a userspace, you can add sourcing as available, and seek input from experienced editors as to whether or not the topic has become ready for a return.
