Gum did not star in The Forgiven, most sources are just passing mentions, interviews, or unreliable sources. Even in reviews of his work, he is rarely, if ever mentioned in the review (by name or character.) CUPIDICAE💕 16:22, 24 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Delete the sourcing does not rise to the level to justify having an article.John Pack Lambert (talk) 19:28, 24 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Keep this was not reviewed properly at all. The assertion "Gum did not star in The Forgiven" is extraordinary since the first citation on the article is a review in the LA Times, a reputed publication, calling Gum's performance in The forgiven "...quite good as a conflicted prison guard"Gathunuku (talk) 05:38, 25 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per nom. In the LA Times review, he gets praised along with three other actors in the same single sentence. In the Variety and ScreenDaily reviews, he is not the "forgiven", he is the "forgotten", not singled out at all. (Also, there's no other Jeff Gum, so there's no need for disambiguation.)

Keep subject seems to meet Wikipedia:Notability rules and yes there does to be another Jeff Gum. Google brings up another Jeff Gum a former Navy Seal who now runs a swimwear brand so disambiguation needed.Nicolerodriguesdubai (talk) 08:28, 28 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

No, there is no other Jeff Gum in Wikipedia. The ex-SEAL does not appear to be notable. You don't need suspenders if you're not wearing pants. Clarityfiend (talk) 11:30, 28 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Delete When even your IMDb bio is unimpressive, that's a bad sign. I checked one of the films that his article claims he was an Executive Producer of and it turns out there were 24 Executive Producers for this film so I doubt that his role was impactful. And for several other parts, he is listed as "uncredited". I don't think he is notable. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 04:03, 7 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Delete As per nom he is not notable and the sources provided do not provide in sufficient information. Foodie Soul (talk) 09:08, 7 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
