Classic case of WP:TOOSOON and WP:NOT YET (actors). Before being cast in Fresh Off the Boat, Ian only had two small guest appearances and got no recognitions for them, thus he does not meet WP:NACTOR and WP:ANYBIO. Except for brief passing mentions in articles that focus mainly on the show or its other actors, I see no significant coverage in the entertainment industry or a big fan base for him, thus he does not meet WP:GNG at this point. We cannot assume that just because he is currently a series regular that he will continue acting and achieve fame later on, especially since the show is still very new. There have been many child actors who have left the industry and disappeared into thin air after just a few roles. Ian may or may not be one of them. If he does indeed become notable in the future, it would not be too hard to recreate or restore the article since it is practically blank at its current state.

 * Delete - The actor has had only very minor roles in television, and has not made any major breakthroughs on these roles. I agree with the nominator that it's simply too soon to have an article.  Aerospeed  (Talk) 13:16, 7 March 2015 (UTC)
