The result was delete. Being on Instagram and having dated somebody are not ways to become notable. –  Juliancolton  &#124; Talk 00:59, 7 August 2015 (UTC)

James Lee Taylor

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

The only secondary source seems to be a press-release-looking theatre blog entry announcing his appearance in an apparently minor Tesla play from a few years ago. No assertion that Taylor meets any of the criteria of WP:NACTOR. McGeddon (talk) 13:33, 5 July 2015 (UTC)

 * There have been added a few references to back up all claims. James Lee Taylor is a recurring character in the show "Being Mary Jane" and also rumoured to have dated english celebrity Kelly Brook. On top of having a large instagram fan base I would argue this person is of public interest. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 90.220.25.247 (talk) 21:39, 7 July 2015 (UTC)  — 90.220.25.247 (talk) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.

 * Delete - fails WP:V; see Being Mary Jane cast list. Bearian (talk) 22:59, 22 July 2015 (UTC)
 * According to this, he is in four episodes to be broadcast next year. The buzz on the internet says "joined the cast", so I suppose they will be filming this year... Kraxler (talk) 14:14, 26 July 2015 (UTC)
 * listal.com appears to be a simple mirror of IMDb, and the WP:CITEIMDB essay discourages using IMDb to source "Cast lists, etc. for films and television programming that are still in development or production, and have yet to premiere." If there is "buzz on the internet", has it reached any reliable sources? --McGeddon (talk) 08:50, 28 July 2015 (UTC)
 * The "buzz" is mostly on blogs and things that are known here as "fancruft", I suppose. Nothing that would help to establish notability, so far, IMO. listal.com cleared up the question about his participation in the soap, since he's not listed in the cast at the official site, and it says that the episodes have not been aired yet. His notability hinges on what to make of his Tesla appearance (off-Broadway) and his being the face for a wodca commercial, and it looks very slim, indeed. Kraxler (talk) 15:18, 28 July 2015 (UTC)

 * Delete -- to judge by the article, he has achieved rather little in over 20 years as an actor in Los Angeles. Looks NN to me.  Sure, there are probably sources on him, but the problem is notability.  Peterkingiron (talk) 18:15, 1 August 2015 (UTC)
