How is he not notable when he's an actor that has been on way more than one professional, Hollywood film and television franchise. He's worked with Steven Soderbergh, been on The Young And The Restless, and is one of the only professional actors I've ever head of who started out as a security guard, and was pulled organically into a career as a professional actor. Stop hating on this man's story! Isn't this what Wikipedia is supposed to be about? I tell you, you hard-nosed moderators make it nearly impossible for people to contribute to this thing. It's gotten out of control, and when Wiki asks for annual donations, it makes it kind of had to reach down to the bottom of our hearts to give openly when it's so torturous for regular people to contribute to this forum. It's too hard. So I hope you don't delete this page, because this actor has an interesting story. Interesting to me, at least. And to Netflix, and to soap operas, and to action filmmakers, and to Oscar-winning directors. Please don't act like relentless terrorists and delete this man's page. His IMDB shows a strong and constantly growing body of work that exemplifies the progressing career of an actor with an interesting story. Thank You. M3diaguide (talk) 13:58, 27 February 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete Great minds clearly think alike :-) CASSIOPEIA and I opened AfDs for this simultaneously, and it is this one that's linked from the article, so here is my nomination rationale moved from Articles for deletion/Marcus LaVoi (which I have closed) : PROD contested by COI editor "on actor's behalf". The actor does not come close to meeting WP:NACTOR or WP:GNG and the article is almost entirely promotional. --bonadea contributions talk 11:51, 27 February 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete - I concur with both nominators. A review of roles at IMDB doesn't show much in the way of significant body work.  Fails to meet WP:NACTOR  -- Whpq (talk) 12:46, 27 February 2019 (UTC)
 * He is not notable according to Wikipedia's specific criteria because he does not meet these requirements. Most actors don't - it's not a sign of being a bad or uninteresting actor, it only means that Wikipedia has special requirements and he doesn't meet them (yet). --bonadea contributions talk 14:26, 27 February 2019 (UTC)


 * Delete I can't find any significant coverage of him. If his career continues and he gains significant roles in significant productions, he will no doubt become notable soon enough, but I'm not seeing it yet. We don't make these decisions based on whether or not someone's life story is interesting. Girth Summit <sub style="font-family:script;color:blue;"> (blether)  15:14, 27 February 2019 (UTC)


 * Comment - This is an instance of undeclared paid editing per this denial and this information. --bonadea contributions talk 16:37, 27 February 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete: Undoubtedly fails the WP:GNG and WP:NACTOR. WP:TOOSOON applies. -- <b style="color: #2D68C4;">LA</b><b style="color: #F2A900;">Cali</b><b style="color: #2D68C4;">NYC</b> ✉ 22:54, 3 March 2019 (UTC)
