Tavares Jamal Cherry

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Alleged to be a non-notable actor, editor disagrees and request afd rather than csd, so here we are. TomStar81 (Talk) 12:29, 4 February 2015 (UTC)


 * Delete - Fails GNG. Fails WP:NACTOR "Has had significant roles in multiple notable films, television shows, stage performances, or other productions." Reads like a fluff actor bio piece. Nothing at Google News or Google Books. Of three IMDb credits, two of the films are in post-production. Article claims subject "came to prominence playing the Evil Guardian in the horror film Lake Eerie", but the movie's Twitter page shows no indication that the movie has been released. That makes the claim of significance a WP:CRYSTAL violation. Another claim "In 2015, he will star in the film musical comedy Bar Songs." IMDb lists his role as Backgammon Player, which does not sound like a starring role. Of the five references provided in the article, Backstage.com is an actor resume site that does nothing to establish notability, Dejascene appears to be a search engine. And of the remaining three horror film-related references, none mentions the subject. Far too soon for this person to have a Wikipedia article. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 13:47, 4 February 2015 (UTC)

 * Delete - non-notable actor as above, no WP:RS. Without any notability this is nothing more than an advertisement/promotional material.-- &#9790;Loriendrew&#9789;  &#9743;(talk)  00:43, 5 February 2015 (UTC)
 * there's no promotional content here, the article's 100% encyclopedic - if you believe otherwise, go ahead and remove promo parts from the article, I don't see any 183.207.229.18 (talk) 07:40, 12 February 2015 (UTC) — 183.207.229.18 (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.


 * Comment - These allegations about the actor not being a notable actor are false, we have worked with this actor on several films, broadway shows, and fashion shows. It's true that he has two films in post-production and some of the information on his page can be altered or changed with the assistance of his production team. We will have someone make altercations to the article. Tavares has done alot of work in film and is considered one of the next best rising stars.

 * The actor has a reliable source here and I will find others and changes were made to the page. This page should not be deleted. http://www.bronzemagonline.com/up-close-with-rising-actor-tavares-jamal-cherry/


 * What you consider notable and what Wikipedia considers notable are two different things. The notability guidelines are either the general notability guideline or the entertainer guideline. You need to be sure that whatever is added to the article clearly establishes the subject as notable based on either of these guidelines. Interviews are considered primary sources and should not be used to establish the subject's notability. You must use resources that are secondary sources independent of the subject. Wikipedia is not a social networking site or a promotional site and we don't write articles about rising stars—we write articles about existing, well-documented ones. And frankly, his "production team" is strongly discouraged from editing since they obviously have a conflict of interest. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 06:37, 12 February 2015 (UTC)


 * keep per tashasmitty, the actor's notable 183.207.229.18 (talk) 07:42, 12 February 2015 (UTC) — 183.207.229.18 (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.
 * This isn't a vote. You need to be able to argue for inclusion based on existing Wikipedia guidelines. Saying the subject is notable is not the same thing as demonstrating that the subject meets existing notability guidelines. Closing admins are not typically swayed by single purpose accounts and single purpose IPs suddenly taking interest in an article. Typically when that happens it is indicative of a promotional campaign. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 08:03, 12 February 2015 (UTC)
 * this isn't a battlefield either so calm down... and there's nothing sudden here, we always took interest in the article except there was nothing about it that required attention... so stop belittling our contributions and read WP:CIVIL 118.169.168.157 (talk) 16:14, 12 February 2015 (UTC) — 118.169.168.157 (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.

 * Delete. Fails WP:Actor and WP:GNG. Associated image (uploaded by SPA) lacks proper licensing and will have to go as well. Pax 21:24, 12 February 2015 (UTC)
