J. J. Totah

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Fails WP:NACTOR. Has not had significant roles or a large fan base. SPA removed Notability tag multiple times. Refs are do not provide in-depth coverage (The first is a local hometown newspaper, the rest are interviews or minor mentions. SF Chronicle article is the best ref, but one is not enough).

 * Keep Breakout star of the 2016 Sundance Festival; qualifies on WP:BASIC. Lourdes  14:57, 14 May 2017 (UTC)
 * Keep - was going to create  his article by the end of the month (if his show got picked to series), quite notable child actor and now a notable teen actor.-- Stemoc 05:45, 16 May 2017 (UTC)
 * Keep meets gng Chetsford (talk) 01:09, 17 May 2017 (UTC)
 * Keep: He has had roles in 16 TV shows, 4 of them in the main role, and he has been cast in Marvel Studio's next Spider Man movie. Please don't AfD clearly notable BLPs. --Guy Macon (talk) 03:51, 17 May 2017 (UTC)
 * That's wildly overstating things – he's only had 2 TV series "main roles" (one of them on a show not even fully in production yet). All his other TV appearances were guest or recurring. If it weren't for the additional notice for him in the film Other People, I am not sure that this would be so clear-cut a "pass" of WP:NACTOR. I can assure that if this AfD had been held 6 months ago, the result would have gone the other way. It's only recent developments that push this one over the top. --IJBall (contribs • talk) 17:46, 18 May 2017 (UTC)


 * Keep Meets Criteria #1 of NACTOR. Other quality reasons mentioned above. South Nashua (talk) 21:01, 17 May 2017 (UTC)
 * Keep – I notability tagged this article myself back in December, but a lot has changed since then – the biggest development is Totah's getting cast in NBC's upcoming Champions sitcom: among that, Back in the Game, and the role in the 2016 film Other People, I now think a good case can be made for Totah passing WP:NACTOR. So it's now a "keep". --IJBall (contribs • talk) 17:40, 18 May 2017 (UTC)
