Nathan Shaw

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Non-notable actor lacking in-depth, non-trivial support. Appears to be WP:TOOSOON. red dogsix (talk) 16:26, 23 March 2018 (UTC)

 * Delete per nom. I can't find any sources beyond the Wakefield Express, which for a seemingly international starring role in a movie suggest the whole thing might be a hoax. Ritchie333 (talk) (cont)  16:38, 23 March 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete I'm not sure I'm buying this either; there are almost no sources (let alone illustrating the WP:DEPTH or WP:PERSISTENCE of coverage demanded by WP:ANYBIO), that the claims made are—unverifiable at the very least, shall we say. —SerialNumber54129  paranoia / cheap shit room 16:50, 23 March 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete Subject fails WP:NACTOR, WP:ANYBIO, and WP:GNG. Chris Troutman  ( talk ) 16:51, 23 March 2018 (UTC)
 * Keep Notability stands. Credible sources are given. Makro (talk) 17:36, 23 March 2018 (UTC)
 * What makes thelovelygrace.blogspot.co.uk a credible source? Ritchie333 (talk) (cont)  17:44, 23 March 2018 (UTC)
 * There are MANY pages on Wikipedia with far fewer sources. I have included plenty of credible sources that show notability. Just because I included 2 blogspot pages doesn't discredit the others.Makro (talk) 17:59, 23 March 2018 (UTC)
 * Other pages have no bearing on this AfD. red <b style="color:#000;">dog</b><i style="color:#000;">six</i> (talk) 18:26, 23 March 2018 (UTC)
 * I was just pointing out a fact. The user claims no sources provide proof of notability when they do. Notability is proven from various sources. Makro (talk) 19:12, 23 March 2018 (UTC)
 * Name two. Chris Troutman  ( talk ) 19:13, 23 March 2018 (UTC)
 * I think was probably just taking one as an example; unfortunately, taken as a body, your collective sources most definitely do not constitute reliable sources—lacasting, his own website, that which has been mentioned, Planet DP, YouTube...and WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS is worth a read as well, regarding what other articles say compared to this one.  —SerialNumber54129  paranoia / cheap shit room 19:17, 23 March 2018 (UTC)
 * I beg to differ. I believe the sources to be reliable (especially the news sources). Also to point out the YouTube source simple proves his YouTube channel of work. Just like it is a reliable source for every YouTube performer on Wikipedia. If it isn't reliable her then EVERY YouTuber who has a wiki should not have YouTube as a source.Makro (talk) 20:04, 23 March 2018 (UTC)
 * Addition. It should remain so it can grow. So that other editors can add to it. The only way Wikipedia works is for everyone to add.Makro (talk) 11:59, 24 March 2018 (UTC)

Delete Fails WP:NACTOR. The article’s claim that he “got his big break” by “starring” in Vampire Academy is fanciful seeing as how he wasn’t even credited for his fleeting appearance. --Pawnkingthree (talk) 23:07, 23 March 2018 (UTC)
 * Actually if you read the article I wrote supporting role and if you check the IMDB page for Vampire Academy he is credited. Makro (talk) 23:51, 23 March 2018 (UTC)
 * No, it said starring and I corrected it. And here is the IMDB link - note “Nathan Shaw - Dhampir (Uncredited)” toward the bottom. Pawnkingthree (talk) 00:09, 24 March 2018 (UTC)
 * If you've seen his IMDB then you clearly know he has notability enough for a WIKI page.Makro (talk) 11:29, 24 March 2018 (UTC)
 * IMDB is generally not considered a reliable source - WP:RS/IMDB. red <b style="color:#000;">dog</b><i style="color:#000;">six</i> (talk) 15:36, 24 March 2018 (UTC)
 * I always thought it was as data on it generally can only be added with verifiable proof, usually by the studio or production company.Makro (talk) 17:26, 24 March 2018 (UTC)
 * No, people in the entertainment industry have access. They don't provide any proof to make edits. Because it's crowd-sourced like Wikipedia, it fails WP:SPS. Chris Troutman  ( talk ) 17:29, 24 March 2018 (UTC)
 * IMDB has been widely been regarded as an unsuitable source for years. See WP:CITEIMDB. <b style="color:#7F007F">Ritchie333</b> <sup style="color:#7F007F">(talk) <sup style="color:#7F007F">(cont)  00:23, 25 March 2018 (UTC)


 * Delete per the above, resoundingly non-notable. Almost half of it is copied/close-paraphrased from his revoltingly self-promotional website. Since I've recently been bollocked by for dealing with copyvio without due regard for the feelings of the copyright violator, I've not touched it. Ritchie, can I leave it to you to sort out this one as you think best (Earwig can't read his page, DupDet seems to be down, I used copyleaks.com)? Oh, and has anyone asked  if he/she has any personal or professional connection to Mr Shaw? Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 00:00, 25 March 2018 (UTC)
 * I do not have any connection. I just try and create pages for people that are missing from Wikipedia.Makro (talk) 18:58, 25 March 2018 (UTC)
 * I used a tried and tested method of putting the two pages into separate windows side-by-side and firing random phrases into the search bar while looking, and while a few half-sentences lined up, it doesn't look like a blatant cut and paste job. <b style="color:#7F007F">Ritchie333</b> <sup style="color:#7F007F">(talk) <sup style="color:#7F007F">(cont)  00:15, 25 March 2018 (UTC)
 * Well, I was thinking of stuff like "professional dance and musical theatre at the Phil Winston's Theatreworks in Blackpool". It's not really conceivable that two distinct authors would have chosen those exact words, nor that they should both independently have chosen to mix the American spelling "program" and UK spelling "honours". Anyway, I wonder where he'd have gone if he'd wanted to study unprofessional dance? Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 12:34, 25 March 2018 (UTC)
 * A nightclub? The sentence fragment you mentioned was one of the ones I was thinking about; I've copyedited it anyway to be on the safe side - plus it gets rid of tautologies like "for 3 years from 2007 to 2010". <b style="color:#7F007F">Ritchie333</b> <sup style="color:#7F007F">(talk) <sup style="color:#7F007F">(cont)  13:42, 25 March 2018 (UTC)

 * Delete per reasons cited, the creator should stop creating new pages on actors until they understand WP:ENT Legacypac (talk) 21:52, 28 March 2018 (UTC)
