I came across this while looking at a related article up for PROD and quickly found that despite a somewhat promising start, this person doesn't really pass notability guidelines. Of the sources on the article, most are unusable as far as establishing notability goes. Here is a rundown of the current sources:
 * 1) This is the paper of Columbia College Chicago, which Masters was a student of. This is pretty much just a primary source.
 * 2) This is a piece about his movie, but I can't verify who it was written by and I don't really think this site can be considered a reliable source.
 * 3) Some random blog-type site, not really the sort that's a RS.
 * 4) This is pretty much one of the only RS on the page, as DVD Verdict is usable.
 * 5) Dead link and even if it wasn't, it looks to be your typical non-usable review site.
 * 6) NN podcast site.
 * 7) This is Masters' YT for one of his films, so it's primary at best.
 * Ultimately there just isn't enough there on the article to show notability and the only truly usable link is one DVD Verdict review. Of the claims in the article, the two books are self-published and the other stuff looks to be relatively non-notable as well. I want to note that I had cleaned the puffery out, but left the sources as they were for any incoming editors to look at. This guy just isn't notable right now, if he ever will be. The previous AfD ended in "no consensus", but looks like it should've been a delete. None of the other sources seem to have ever actually come about. Most of what I found on the internet are junk hits and press releases. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡)   04:54, 30 May 2013 (UTC)


 * Also note that the original editor who uploaded this was apparently someone paid to promote actors and such. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡)   04:58, 30 May 2013 (UTC)

 * Delete. The included sources are pretty generous with words like 'wannabe' and 'aspiring'. There is not enough significant coverage to warrant an article, and I didn't find anything more that would meet WP:BIO guidelines. Grayfell (talk) 20:52, 4 June 2013 (UTC)
 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.
