WP:BLP of an actor, not properly referenced as having any strong claim to passing WP:NACTOR. As always, NACTOR is not automatically passed just because an article lists roles -- the notability test is in the reception of WP:GNG-worthy reliable source coverage about them and their performances, not just the list of performances per se. But the footnotes here are almost all glancing namechecks of his existence in sources that aren't about him in any non-trivial sense, and the only one that says more than two words about Benjamin Callins is an unreliable site that doesn't count toward GNG at all (and even the glancing namechecks aren't all from reliable or notability-building sources either, as for example one of them is just a film festival's self-published program calendar).
Obviously no prejudice against recreation in the future if and when he has a stronger notability claim and better sourcing for it, but nothing stated here is "inherently" notable enough to exempt him from having to have better sources than this. Bearcat (talk) 21:04, 21 June 2025 (UTC)

• Delete: His name is mentioned in articles about the Dragon Prince, but nothing extensive. There just isn't independent sourcing about this person to show notability. Sourcing in the article is about the series, not this person. Oaktree b (talk) 01:20, 22 June 2025 (UTC)
• Redirect to The Dragon Prince: Appears to fail both GNG and NACTOR. Seems TOOSOON. Somebodyidkfkdt (talk) 13:38, 22 June 2025 (UTC)
