Highly advertorialized (to the point that I strongly suspect WP:AUTOBIO even though I can't prove it) WP:BLP of an actor and musician, not properly sourced as passing notability criteria for actors or musicians. As always, actors and musicians are not automatically entitled to have Wikipedia articles just because they exist, and have to show evidence that they would pass WP:GNG on third-party reliable source coverage about them -- but this is referenced almost entirely to directory entries that are not support for notability at all, with the only semi-reliable source being a Q&A interview in which he's talking about himself in the first person (which would be acceptable for use if the other sourcing around it were better, but does not get him over GNG in and of itself if it's the strongest source in the mix, per WP:INTERVIEWS).
And further, the claimed "breakthrough" is a bit part as a supporting character (unnamed in the provided source) in a film that's still about a year away from release, which is obviously not the kind of role that can clinch an automatic free pass over NACTOR without adequate sourcing.
Nothing here is "inherently" notable enough to exempt this article from having to cite much better sourcing, or from having to have a much more neutral and objective writing tone, than this. Bearcat (talk) 23:57, 23 July 2024 (UTC)

- Delete: "Vibrant heart of ... with a diverse cultural tapestry" is the first red flag. As expected, The Source (source #2) is literally the first hit and the only one in a RS. There's a rich blend of, sorry, lack of references for this individual. Nothing we can use to build a rich blend of an article with a vibrant heart. Lack of sourcing, should be deleted.

- Delete. Fails WP:GNG. Google search results are mostly social media / self-published sites. Prof.PMarini (talk) 09:15, 24 July 2024 (UTC)
- Delete. IMDB does give the name of his character, but even if we considered that a reliable source, it'd be far from enough. At best, this is a case of WP:TOOSOON, which is indeed very PR-like. LadyofShalott 12:06, 24 July 2024 (UTC)
- Delete this borders on meriting a speedy delete under WP:G11. Best, GPL93 (talk) 22:23, 29 July 2024 (UTC)
- Delete - even assuming everything is true and he’s a family man and a working actor, the film he’s in won’t be out until next year - TOOSOON. Bearian (talk) 02:29, 30 July 2024 (UTC)
