Autobiographical (creator = "Yamy") WP:BLP of an actor, not reliably sourced as passing WP:NACTOR. As always, every actor is not automatically entitled to have a Wikipedia article just because he exists -- the notability test requires some evidence of distinction, such as notable acting awards and/or the reception of enough media coverage about him and his performances to clear WP:GNG. But the roles listed here as his most notable ones aren't really significant ones: in both Yamaska and Les Beaux malaises he had minor guest roles, and in La Job (the Quebec version of The Office) he was the Chris Finch/Todd Packer equivalent, counting as a recurring but not starring role. So none of these roles are "inherently" notable enough to exempt him from actually having to clear GNG on his sourcing -- but when I found the article, its only "references" were primary sources that aren't support for notability, such as his own self-published website and his (deadlinked) profile on the website of his agent. And while the French article is longer, it isn't appreciably better sourced; four of its six footnotes are still bad primary sources, and the only two that are actually real media are a glancing namecheck of his existence in an article that isn't about him and a very short blurb in Quebec's equivalent to TV Guide -- so that still isn't enough coverage to get him over GNG, and we can't salvage this just by copying those sources over. Nothing stated here is "inherently" notable enough to exempt him from having to have a lot more and better references than this. Bearcat (talk) 21:47, 30 January 2021 (UTC)
