 * Redirect to Just_William_(2010_TV_serial). The only thing he seems to be known for is getting cast in the most recent Just William series, which was decidedly short lived. That's not exactly a large enough role to give notability enough to keep on that basis alone, so I'd argue that his article should just redirect there. If/when he gets a role that gains him coverage, we can always re-create the article. But for right now, this is simply too soon. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡)   04:32, 30 December 2013 (UTC)


 * He's also was in the The Escape Artist and the The Physician 2013 last year, he gained notability in his own right like many actor this takes times. But like many child actor's pages on wikipedia, should they be left or not, well I would have to say yes, is it simply to soon, No I don't think so it has been 3 years since Just William 2010 he seem to have done other acting working in the UK and internationally gaining notability for his acting, I think it it should be left. 89.168.130.124 (talk) 21:27, 3 January 2014 (UTC)

 * Comment -- For a child only aged 12, he has an impressive list of credits. What I do not know is whehter these were major parts or minor ones; if the latter, probably delete.  Peterkingiron (talk) 20:16, 5 January 2014 (UTC)
 * Foster's list of roles - and I hardly think 4 could be described as impressive - include "street urchin" and "classroom kid 1"; the only role missing is 3rd spear carrier from the left... Blackberry Sorbet (talk • contribs) 20:57, 5 January 2014 (UTC)


 * Delete for now. When he has had more significant coverage, a new article can be written. --Bejnar (talk) 23:24, 7 January 2014 (UTC)
 * In the Radio Times he listed as " Nerdy Kid" not 'classroom kid 1' he seems to be listed as both on IMDB so they must be credited Parts, you don't get listed for no reason. Keep 89.168.130.124 (talk) 10:22, 11 January 2014 (UTC)

 * Comment "You don't get listed for no reason" is nonsensical. Besides, that is what a cast list is for - to list the cast. It doesn't confer any degree of notability. A trivial mention in a cast list: is not an interview with the actor, is not an article about the actor, is not an independent, reliable 3rd party discussing the actor's contributions. Please try to stick to policy based arguments (and clarify that your comment made 21:27, 3 January 2014 is simply a comment and not a !vote).
