John Downey III

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

WP:BLP of an actor which makes no strong claim of notability under WP:NACTOR, and rests entirely on primary and unreliable sources (his own website, his own LinkedIn profile, YouTube videos and IMDb) with not a shred of reliable source coverage shown. Also a conflict of interest, if you compare the creator's username to the "née" in the introduction. As always, a Wikipedia article is not a thing that any actor is automatically entitled to have just because he exists; it's a thing that an actor earns by being the subject of enough reliable source coverage to verify that he passes a specific Wikipedia inclusion criterion.

 * Delete for now as there's simply no better improvement and I only found brief mentions at Books with there also being no move target. SwisterTwister   talk  06:58, 20 September 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete per WP:OUTCOMES. Producers' and local performing artists' articles are almost always deleted, even if they have an IMDB page. Bearian (talk) 18:23, 21 September 2015 (UTC)
