Alex Francis

Contested prod. Prod reason was: "Non notable child actor. He has received no significant media attention (no Google news hits, less than 100 distinct Google hits)." Prod removed without adressing the problems (added IMDb link). 74 distinct Google hits[1], no Google news hits[2]. Fram (talk) 11:00, 23 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Comment As with the case of James Forde's AFD, if this actor was an ensemble player in a significantly notable show (such as EastEnders, I would keep the article with reservations. There isn't enough information here to make a decision either way, so I'm not going to hazard a !vote. As an actor, he wasn't credited for the first two months when he performed the role, which tells me that the role is small and potentially trivial. If someone comes back and updates the article to give more information about Francis' role in the series, I could be convinced to shift to a weak keep OR is there is enough information about this "Nick Jr. promotion" that separately establishes some notability, I can be convinced. (For example, if he was chosen for that promotion because of his work on EastEnders as a child actor, that confers notability.) As it stands, I can't take a position yet, but I wanted to at least contribute some thoughts to this discussion. JRP (talk) 13:47, 23 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

It's not uncommon for actors to not be credited until their role becomes important to the plot, so I'd consider the first two months not being credited as a plus for the current status of his character on the show. - Mgm|^(talk) 11:55, 2 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
