Doing a clean relist due to the last nomination being overwhelmed by WP:SPAs. Original rationale for deletion was: "Doesn't seem to meet WP:NACTOR. The sources are extremely questionable or flat out non-reliable (IMdB). The question for the community probably comes down to whether being named for a Young Artist Award confers notability" I have semi-protected this page so it doesn't happen again. Abstain.

 * Delete as although there are claims of significance here, I see none of the needed substance to convince an acceptable article apart from the connected works, hence too soon in his career. SwisterTwister   talk  02:13, 18 January 2017 (UTC)


 * Keep. Meets WP:ANYBIO. In addition to the 2015 Young Artist Award, won another award in 2014 (as Rhys Bond):, . That award does not have a wiki page (perhaps because of its relative newness), so it's debatable whether to list in the "Awards" chart (although it could perhaps be mentioned in the prose of the article). Also meets WP:GNG in that there is significant coverage in multiple secondary sources that are reliable, intellectually independent of each other, and independent of the subject. The sources may not be the kind of sources that persons over the age of 40 are likely to consume, but they are the kinds of sources that tweens and teens (his audience) consume, e.g. Just Jared, TVRuckus, etc. Softlavender (talk) 06:09, 18 January 2017 (UTC)
 * Softlavender, your statement leaves me puzzled. First, you say this other award is too new to be noted here, yet you cite ANYBIO which requires the award to be "well-known and significant". Second, I just checked out just jared ( can't link due to blacklist ) and I'm sorry, to me this is tissue-thin celeb "news" blurbs wrapped around publicity photos, no matter who the intended audience. I didn't learn anything new beyond the fact that this person goes ice skating with other celebs from time to time. Where's the substantial depth of coverage of either his life or acting career required by GNG? - Brianhe (talk) 06:45, 18 January 2017 (UTC)
 * Note that, as I stated, he already has one award already listed in the article; I merely noted yet another award, which goes even further to address notability. I did not say the second award I mentioned "is too new to be noted here", I said it "does not have a wiki page (perhaps because of its relative newness), so it's debatable whether to list in the 'Awards' chart (although it could perhaps be mentioned in the prose of the article)". That award (Joey Awards) is already mentioned in 30+ Wikipedia articles:, . GNG does not require a specified type of coverage, but if you want coverage of his life and acting career, I see: (TVRuckus). Softlavender (talk) 07:41, 18 January 2017 (UTC)

 * Redirect to Good Witch (TV series) Ties That Bind (TV series), where the subject is mentioned; the actor is not yet independently notable, and the nature of the award suggests that it's WP:TOOSOON for him to have a stand-alone article. K.e.coffman (talk) 02:05, 19 January 2017 (UTC)
 * If it's redirected anywhere, it should be to the ongoing series Good Witch (TV series), where he has been in (all) 22 episodes so far and is higher in the billing order. Ties That Bind only had one season (2015), was only 10 episodes, and he was lower in billing order. Softlavender (talk) 03:12, 19 January 2017 (UTC)
 * Makes sense; I updated above. K.e.coffman (talk) 03:20, 19 January 2017 (UTC)
 * I support the redirect to Good Witch. - Brianhe (talk) 05:22, 19 January 2017 (UTC)


 * Delete or redirect no broad or indepth coverage; fails GNG. Does not yet fulfil the three main criteria of WP:NACTOR. O Fortuna!  ...Imperatrix mundi.  19:56, 19 January 2017 (UTC)
