The result was delete. The keep !votes have failed to address the nominator's concern that there is no significant coverage in reliable sources. –&#8239;Joe (talk) 16:45, 9 January 2018 (UTC)

Tanner Buchanan

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

WP:BLP of an actor, with no strong claim to passing WP:NACTOR and no strong reliable source coverage to support it. His "most notable role" is as a recurring supporting character, not as a main one, and his other listed roles are all one-off television appearances or minor characters in films -- and the only source present here is a post to his sister's Instagram account. As always, an actor does not automatically get a Wikipedia article just because he's had roles -- he has to be the subject of reliable source coverage in real (not social) media about him and his performances in those roles before an article becomes appropriate, but there's no evidence of that being shown here at all.

 * Strong Keep - He is a major cast member on a hit TV show on a major network. How much more does he need? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.206.94.35 (talk • contribs)
 * Some actual reliable source coverage about him in real media, for starters. Notability always depends on that — nobody, but nobody, is ever notable enough for a Wikipedia article without that. Bearcat (talk) 05:31, 5 January 2018 (UTC)
 * Comment. I've seen articles about cast members of say Survivor, do nothing after and keep an article, while Teck Holmes cannot have one, despite having an accomplished career in entertainment, because he "only did MTV" as a castmember of Real World.  Notability shouldn't be so subjective.  Just my 2c  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.206.94.35 (talk) 20:42, 20 December 2017 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Keep - He's done several other notable roles such as Fuller House and The Fosters. Me-123567-Me (talk) 18:21, 22 December 2017 (UTC)

 * Delete 3 episodes in a series is not the stuff a significant role is made of.John Pack Lambert (talk) 04:19, 2 January 2018 (UTC)
 * Comment "3 episodes in a series" is disingenuous. 16 episodes of Designated Survivor, 6 of The Fosters, 5 of Game Shakers, a lead role in the upcoming Karate Kid series. Arguably, those are enough to cover WP:NACTOR. I've added some basic sources to the article but they may be short of meeting the GNG. All in all, undecided for now.
