Semi-advertorialized and poorly sourced article about an actor not properly demonstrated as passing WP:NACTOR. He's known primarily for supporting and guest roles, and is sourced entirely to credit lists on IMDb and TV Guide rather than any evidence of reliable source coverage about him. As always, actors are not automatically deemed to pass NACTOR #1 just because the article lists roles -- every actor can always list roles, so there'd never be any such thing as a non-notable actor anymore if simply listing roles exempted him from actually having to clear WP:GNG on the sourcing -- but even on a Google search, I can only find glancing namechecks of his existence, with no evidence of notability-building coverage about him. In addition, the article was categorizing him as LGBT, which I've had to remove as I've been entirely unable to verify that in any reliable sources either. And even the Young Artist Award, which he's templated for without it actually being mentioned in the article body at all, is still not an instant notability freebie -- it would be a credible notability claim if the article were properly sourced, obviously, but is not an instant notability clincher that would exempt him from having to have any reliable sources.

 * Update: One new source has been added since I initiated this discussion — but it's just a piece of "local kid does stuff" human interest coverage in his own hometown media market, so it is not enough coverage to get him over the sourcing requirement all by itself if it's the only reliable source in the mix.

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

 * Delete per WP:TNT and WP:NACTOR - your pick. The entire section on his career in unreferenced. His roles all have first names only are indicative that they are so small as to be virtually cameos. Bearian (talk) 00:07, 8 October 2019 (UTC)
