This child actor certainly exists and is working, but I can't find any evidence that he is notable per our biography notability guidelines. I haven't found any articles about him, interviews with him, or really anything that isn't a simple movie listing or an aside in an article about another of the actors in one of his films. I freely admit that I am not an expert in the field but I did consult a renowned, long-standing international expert in the field of teen male actors ("Tiger Beat"), and found not a mention of him.

Note that online searches for this name bring up a namesake of some notability (Mrs. Rupert Murdoch's first husband), so searching online can bring up more results than perhaps would be accurate. NellieBly (talk) 05:14, 11 January 2012 (UTC)

 * Delete Appears to fail on notability. Yes, he has worked a lot, but not in the leading roles demanded by WP:NACTOR. He may make it as an adult but time will tell.--AJHingston (talk) 09:53, 19 January 2012 (UTC)

 * Delete per reasons stated by above arguments. He has starred in some notable films, but his roles were not major enough to where I could state without a doubt that he was notable in the films. His roles weren't small or minor, but there's enough to argue that he was more of a supporting character than a major one. I did a search and couldn't find any reliable sources to show that he's gotten any coverage in the news. There's a bit of a fan following, but not enough of a big one to qualify under that part of WP:NACTOR. He's on the border of notability and non-notability but I'm going to say that he just falls shy of what's needed for an article.Tokyogirl79 (talk) 05:10, 26 January 2012 (UTC)tokyogirl79


 * Keep I'm finding the arguments above more conducive of this article needing improvement than for deleting it. What convinves me of notability is WP:ANYBIO and this actor being repeatedly nominated for Young Artist Awards... in 2004, 2007, 2008, and 2010. While as with any actor, he has had minor roles and one-ofs in televison series, enough of his roles found signficant to notable productions have allowed him to receive recognition for them. We have the verifiability of some of his film characters being significant to the film's storyline. Heck, even in The Sorcerer's Apprentice, his character introduces the entire storyline... remember that note young Dave was chasing?  Schmidt,  MICHAEL Q. 04:20, 27 January 2012 (UTC)


 * Keep per MichaelQSchmidt, the subject appears to pass WP:ANYBIO#1 and WP:ENT#1. Furthermore, he appears to pass WP:GNG: despite the main part of his Google News entries is made of trivial mentions, there is significant coverage, as here or here Cavarrone (talk) 09:51, 27 January 2012 (UTC)
