Mike Manning (actor)

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Subject was a season cast member on the reality television program The Real World: DC, which does not qualify him for his own article. Attempts to inform the editor who created the article about the site's notability guideline were ignored. Nightscream (talk) 00:39, 26 August 2011 (UTC) Delete per above.

 * Keep He's done a bit more than just 16 episodes of The Real World: Washington D.C.. Among his growing body of work we now have him as lead actor in Gingerdead Man 3: Saturday Night Cleaver. And with his growing film and television career, the fellow pushes nicely at WP:ENT.  The The Real World show's focusing on his sexual orientation, simply ensured that he would get the coverage to meet WP:GNG. As his career is moving forward, we can expect to hear more.

 * Keep Mike Manning's page should not be deleted just because of the simple fact that his nown for a reality. If people aren't aboul to get famous by doing reality shows than why are the cast of Jersey Shore on wikipedia or why are the Kardashians so famous their only famous because of reality television! Beside Manning has just started and in 2011 he has already acted in 4 movies in which the last one his a main character. it dosen't make sends for the movie to have a page but not the main character. Mike is not just a "reality star" his an actor a model and even a activist and environmentalist. He has just started and he will with no doubt rise in fame fast, and then well just have to make the page all over again. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Santiagokdasilva1 (talk • contribs) 00:51, August 28, 2011
 * Comment The casts of Jersey Shore and the Kardashians-related shows have made sufficiently numerous and significant media appearances that go to notability. Mike Manning has not. Such appearances are the basis for notability for entertainers, which is why it is a non-sequitur to argue that if a film has an article, that therefore, ipso facto, anyone in it merits one as well. It is certainly possible that Manning has begun to make appearances that could qualify him for an article, but you did neither yourself nor his article any favors with your recent behavior, which includes deliberately violating numerous Wikipedia policies and ignoring my attempts to familiarize you with them. It's unfortunate that you seemed to feel that the rules do not apply to you, and that it fell to other editors to add the sources to the article that helped establish Manning's notability that you refused to.

 * Agreed, being both silent and adamant when making unhelpful edits does not help his case. Send him to WP:PRIMER where he might get some clue. If he does not, I expect his temp block may be lengthened. Better sources which might have been used in the article to show meeting of WP:GNG for both his growing career, his role in 16 episodes of The Real World: Washington D.C., his lead role in Gingerdead Man 3: Saturday Night Cleaver, and his becoming a spokesperson for LGBT issues include Metro Weekly  Outsports  After Elton  Queerty   Radar Online   He's getting the coverage, it just needs to be properly used and focused.  It grieves me that poor edits detract form what could otherwise be a decently encyclopedic article.  My hat is off to User:Nightscream for attempts to keep the article centered on topic, and I recognize that it will now need more work from those better skilled at cleanup and sourcing than was the article author. But with a careful eye, correcting the issues are addressable with normal editing.  Schmidt,  MICHAEL Q. 08:38, 29 August 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep the page. Although Manning initially gained public attention for his appearance in Real World, his ongoing activism on behalf of the LGBTI community warrants him retaining a Wikipedia entry. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 124.176.31.16 (talk) 04:01, 28 August 2011 (UTC)
