Kash Hovey (producer and actor)

Subject does not qualify for an article under WP:ACTOR, and the references provided here either lack independence from the subject (IMDb, Pintrest), are promotional (PRweb), or are not about the subject. A Google News search turns up 40 hits, most of these related to his résumé, are other Pintrest/ social media hits, or are from photo shoots he appeared in. The WP:INTERVIEWS I found came from sources with no established reporting reputation. I did not find any substantive discussion in reliable independent published sources. Being related to Priscilla Presley does not qualify him as notable. A loose necktie (talk) 23:26, 14 August 2019 (UTC)

Kash Hovey is an award-winning actor and producer with a significant amount of articles and interviews to support his Wikipedia article. He has won several awards for his performances in films including As In Kevin which won him a Best Supporting Comedy Actor Award at the LA Live Film Festival and Plastic Daydream with celebrity fitness instructor Shari Belafonte. Plastic Daydream was directed by Kathy Kolla who has a live Wikipedia page with very similar articles. He can be seen in a new role, Adam, in upcoming feature film Undateable John which was developed by Joan Jett and also features Shannen Doherty. All three mentioned films have significant press coverage and awards that support Hovey's credibility as an actor and producer. His familial relations were mentioned upon personal request, not to make him appear more credible. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Hannahandos1 (talk • contribs) 23:51, 14 August 2019 (UTC)
 * Unless the "LA Live Film Festival" actually means the LA Film Festival (which I am guessing it does not) then the festival itself has no Wikpedia article and likely lacks enough notability of its own to use the winning of an award from them as a qualification for notability. Further, being in an upcoming notable film does not make an actor notable. Even being in that film wouldn't automatically make him notable. And coverage of a film does not mean coverage of an actor in that film.  Lastly, who placed the request for the mention of the familial relations and was anyone paid for this?  If so, the author needs to make a declaration of conflict of interest on their user page and on the talk page of the article itself. A loose necktie (talk)


 * Delete Source do not indicate Hovey passes WP:GNG. None of the roles he has had or the awards he has received are major enough to meet any inclusionary standard. Best, GPL93 (talk) 19:00, 15 August 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete GPL93 said everything I wanted to here, awards not being big enough or the lack of significance of the roles (so WP:NACTOR is not met). Currently, the coverage of his is either in interviews (WP:PRIMARY), blogs/forums or in passing, which makes him fail WP:GNG/WP:BIO. Jovanmilic97 (talk) 15:45, 21 August 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete - bit player who does not meet WP:NACTOR - the article is spin to make him sound notable, for example the article says he had a role in the film Rebound, but fails to mention that his role was so small it was uncredited - and he appeared in a minor supporting role in only one of the 115 episodes of Unusual Suspects - most of the article references are WP:REFBOMBING to WP:MASK lack of notability - the article is little more than promotional hype - therefore, delete - Epinoia (talk) 22:06, 21 August 2019 (UTC)
