The result was   Incubate. There's a pretty clear consensus to delete here, but there also seems like there are people who are willing to find the reliable sources needed, so I'm going to move this to draft space and let people work on improving it. -- RoySmith (talk) 00:36, 15 April 2014 (UTC)

Creating AfD header that was neglected by nominator. Safiel (talk) 22:46, 6 April 2014 (UTC)

Nominator's rational Was Deleted per Articles for deletion/Reed Alexander, recreated and then received a confused no-consensus somehow defaulting to keep at Articles for deletion/Reed Alexander (2nd nomination). This is the third nomination. The references are insufficient for a WP:BLP and do not establish the notability of the subject, who appears to be a very minor actor with some very minor TV roles. Nothing has really changed since the first nomination. Barney the barney barney (talk) 22:37, 6 April 2014 (UTC)


 * Delete Subject's acting credits are dicey at best, but in the end he fails WP:NACTOR. A few isolated media mentions, but he fails WP:GNG as well. Safiel (talk) 22:47, 6 April 2014 (UTC)
 * delete the only thing that comes close to notability is the nomination to Young Artist Award, but that is just a single nomination to a not very notable award. -- TRPoD aka The Red Pen of Doom  23:09, 6 April 2014 (UTC)

The user below does! Check those out. Tinton5 (talk) 21:19, 10 April 2014 (UTC)
 * Keep He is rather notable, maybe not like Noah Munck, but enough to pass notability guidelines. Perhaps iCarly is the most notable, he has been in several TV shows and movies, and is continuing to add to his resume. He also has created a campaign website to promote healthy eating.

 * notability is established by significant coverage in third party sources. Got any of those? -- TRPoD aka The Red Pen of Doom  12:12, 10 April 2014 (UTC)
 * Keep His roles in Ace Ventura Jr: Pet Detective and iCarly seem significant, and both are notable, thus per WP:NACTOR. Additionally, he's been able to use that fame to position himself as a chef and advocate for healthier living, gaining significant coverage in reliable sources. -- Irn (talk) 15:28, 10 April 2014 (UTC)
 * Delete and incubate Here is another 3rd party source, .   WP:N is a guideline, and only requires evidence of attention.  WP:V is a core content policy that requires WP:RS.  The wp:notability for this topic is solid, with recognition coming from both Chelsea Clinton and Michelle Obama.  The claims that the topic lacks wp:notability IMO are really concerns with WP:RS sourcing for the article.  And the fact that we don't know the topic's birthdate from a reliable source, speaks to this problem.  Someday Wikipedians can hope that talent agents will figure out the benefit of publishing a bio written by a reporter with a reputation for fact checking.  Meanwhile, there is a mass of unsourced information in the current article, so it would not be too much to WP:TNT delete and start a new article in draftspace.  To this end I have posted the frameworks for the article and talk page on the talk page here at WT:Articles for deletion/Reed Alexander (3rd nomination).  Given the sources provided at this AfD, this is an easy article to write and return to mainspace.  Unscintillating (talk) 17:34, 13 April 2014 (UTC)
