Unsourced since creation in 2009 (and created by a now banned sockpuppet). Forget about WP:NACTOR (subject is a child actor that had at most a few recurring roles) – there's no way this will pass WP:GNG (I found one passing (speculative!) reference in Entertainment Weekly from 2014 and that was about it...). --IJBall (contribs • talk) 00:13, 22 March 2016 (UTC)

Delete: Almost no coverage outside of imdb, so he doesn't really meet WP:GNG. WP:BIO requires 'significant roles in multiple notable films [or] television shows... a large fan base or a significant "cult" following' or 'unique, prolific or innovative contributions to a field of entertainment', so I don't think he passes that either. Press releases from Young Artists Awards document that he was nominated, and sometimes won, but the award was for "Guest Starring Young Actor" (i.e., not lead or supporting), and I would be hard-pressed to identify any of his competition for this award, leading me to believe that the award is not notable, as required by WP:NAWARD. So unless someone can dig up decent sources, I'm inclined to kill it. ubiquity (talk) 18:34, 22 March 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete as I've started questioning the salvageability of these articles even with Young Artist Award because aside from that, they're still questionably better for WP:ENTERTAINER. SwisterTwister   talk  06:00, 24 March 2016 (UTC)
