Fails WP:ANYBIO and WP:NACTOR. Nothing notable on a WP:BEFORE. Two minor roles in the past in films and one in a show. Thank you, Kolma8 (talk) 20:45, 31 January 2021 (UTC)

 * Speedy keep easily meets WP:NACTOR. KidAd   talk  20:53, 31 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Which of the those three WP:NACTOR:
 * 1 Has had significant roles in multiple notable films, television shows, stage performances, or other productions.
 * 2 Has a large fan base or a significant "cult" following.
 * 3 Has made unique, prolific or innovative contributions to a field of entertainment.
 * Thanks, Kolma8 (talk) 20:58, 31 January 2021 (UTC)
 * The Many Saints of Newark is the primary one, he's playing Tony Soprano. This is garnering significant media coverage as he's the son of Soprano's original actor. Also has a major support role in Cherry. Rusted AutoParts  21:23, 31 January 2021 (UTC)

 * Leaning keep. Even though the upcoming films are only upcoming films, they are high-profile enough projects that the casting being done is enough to describe the subject's role with respect to the work. BD2412  T 22:32, 31 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Speedy keep. Lol what kind of nom is this - keep per Rusted AutoParts. Vaselineeeeeeee★★★ 22:39, 31 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Based on the nominator's talk page, it appears they have a history of – let's say "frivolous" – AfD and PROD noms. KidAd   talk  22:44, 31 January 2021 (UTC)
 * KidAd : It's a dishonor that you're so easy to drop a precedent ad hominem. Kolma8 (talk) 21:12, 1 February 2021 (UTC)


 * Keep...really? This is a clear NACTOR pass as previously discussed. Vaticidalprophet (talk) 05:17, 1 February 2021 (UTC)
 * Keep. Lots of current and likely more future coverage for Sopranos movie. Not sure about other roles but I think that alone has generated enough for an inclusion.-- LostLogin (talk) 18:37, 3 February 2021 (UTC)
 * Keep per WP:SIGCOV in Esquire, E!, and other sources. I would not label this nomination as "frivolous." Bearian (talk) 21:19, 3 February 2021 (UTC)
