WP:BLP which doesn’t demonstrate notability. The subject’s acting career doesn’t pass WP:NACTOR. As a politician, he was appointed (not elected) to a local council and resigned under a cloud a few months later. This, however, seems to have received only local media attention. Searches find social media, user generated content and mentions in local media but nothing showing real notability. Neiltonks (talk) 20:13, 17 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete - I concur with the OP's estimation of notability both as an actor and as a politician (at least by the extant sources) - a short-term city-level politician of no visible lasting consequence. HThe history of the article is compatible with the possibility that it was an autobiography. --Nat Gertler (talk) 20:45, 17 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete it seems that before the IP edit inserting details about the complaints and lawsuit, it was largely edited by User:Kurtkra, who had been warned for COI for the same article. robertsky (talk) 00:32, 18 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete fails WP:NPOL as a former member of the Hewitt, Texas City Council (population under 15,000 in 2010). I do not believe that the subject passes WP:NACTOR. --Enos733 (talk) 15:46, 18 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete. People don't get articles for serving on smalltown city councils, and there's nowhere even close to enough sourcing here to make him a special case of greater notability than the norm for smalltown city councillors — so the only notability claim that's actually in play here is WP:NACTOR, and he's not properly sourced as clearing that one either. Bearcat (talk) 19:27, 18 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete NN. I do not see it fulfiling the notaboility requirements, besides the obvious COI editing. -- Alexf^(talk) 21:44, 18 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete not a notable actor or a notable politician. It's unfortunate that this article was here for 9 years before we got around to deleting it. – Muboshgu (talk) 22:31, 18 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete not a subject in WP:RS.-TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 03:01, 20 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete. Fails to meet the standards at WP:GNG, WP:NPOL, WP:NACTOR. Close per WP:SNOW.4meter4 (talk) 02:40, 24 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete per WP:COAT. A run of the mill soap-opera child actor and local politician has a page that is used to highlight his alleged crimes. Three BLP violations in one. Bearian (talk) 18:53, 24 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete per WP:COAT and fails to meet WP:GNG, in addition to the COI promotional editing. Taewangkorea (talk) 19:57, 24 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
