I'm aware that this was kept before here: Articles for deletion/Ron Wear, but the reasons to keep in 2015 seem to no longer apply. As of today in 2020, I found zero sources on him except the UGC modelmayhem and other UGC like his website, twitter, Facebook, which I understand are all considered generally unreliable. All links in his references section are broken and unarchived except for modelmayhem. I don't know what people are referring to when they say newspaper articles cited provide significant coverage, "ten secondary sources", etc; perhaps those articles have disappeared over the years and nobody archived them so they are just lost now. If someone can add those articles back, there could be an argument to keep it. At this point, there are 4 sources, zero of which are any good, and I merged his info into Miss BC anyway. --Wiki2008time (talk) 21:37, 11 June 2020 (UTC)
 * NOTE: I am a new editor and it's very confusing to find out how to re-nominate something for deletion that was previously kept on grounds that no longer apply. If I did this wrong, please fix it and educate me rather than penalizing me for my confusion.

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Someone suggested I make a redirect for a similarly sparse article (Darren Storsley) that I merged into Miss BC instead of PROD, so I did - I am unsure if I am allowed to do that with an article that has had a previous AfD/active AfD. --Wiki2008time (talk) 15:18, 12 June 2020 (UTC) blocked sockpuppet ~ Amkgp  💬  16:56, 27 June 2020 (UTC)

 * Obviously nobody cares about this and it's non-controversial. I wanted to just create a PROD but someone told me I need to make an AfD when something has had a previous AfD, not PROD, even though the grounds of the original AfD Keep no longer apply (none of those citations are available any more). --Wiki2008time (talk) 02:31, 19 June 2020 (UTC) blocked sockpuppet ~ Amkgp  💬  16:56, 27 June 2020 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Miss BC as I already merged his info onto that page. I felt that would be more appropriate than having his own article given the poor citations. I'm not sure if I'm allowed to just go ahead and create a redirect when something had a prior AfD even though the grounds it was kept on no longer apply. --Wiki2008time (talk) 02:32, 19 June 2020 (UTC) blocked sockpuppet ~ Amkgp  💬  16:56, 27 June 2020 (UTC)
 * If anybody is taking a look at this (and information which I did not know at the time): User:Wiki2008time has now been banned for sockpuppetry, but this was before that. Not quite sure it's a speedy keep (since AFAICS they have not been confirmed to another prior blocked user, only to another account of theirs), but if you feel like it is then feel free to...

 * Delete. Despite the sock-puppetry, I'm fairly convinced this fails WP:NACTOR/WP:NMODEL. The subject of the article won Mr. World Canada, but I don't think this is an automatic qualification for notability. The subject's acting roles (as reported on the article and his IMDb page) are all either uncredited or rather minor. And I can't find any additional significant coverage of the subject.

 * Delete Tenuous notability. Never made it as an actor, now involved as a judge. Fails WP:BIO, WP:NACTOR and WP:NMODEL.  scope_creep Talk  10:45, 26 June 2020 (UTC)
