Has one possibly notable role (in Saved by the Bell) but that's it. Doesn't meet WP:ENT or WP:GNG. Was made a redirect to Saved by the Bell cast list as an ATD years ago, I've no objection to that but feel deletion is probably clearer, as there is no information on the actor in that article, other than his name.

 * Weak keep. Hmmmm … I can see why this has been in CAT:NN for 11 years. On the one hand, he was interviewed on ABC News (by their "pop" division; this was not breaking news). On the other hand, he is introduced in the video and in the caption as the brother of Jonathan Jackson. That's a consistent pattern in all the coverage I can turn up on him—he's an also-ran to his much more famous brother. Of course, notability is WP:NOTINHERITED. But he's definitely mentioned alongside his brother, and has some independent treatment. He also apparently has a column in Modern Drummer, which I'd consider the "magazine of record" for American drummers. Which shows that he's considered important by a publication that ought to know. I think role in widely watched teen comedy + somewhat noteworthy drumming is enough to pass the threshold, but it's really borderline. AleatoryPonderings (talk) 04:30, 8 August 2020 (UTC)
