Article recreated by a SPA editor after the result of the first AfD was "soft delete". Current sourcing is either from unreliable sources, press releases, or is simply mentions of him. Searches did not turn up the type of in-depth coverage of him to show he passes WP:GNG, and he certainly doesn't pass WP:NACTOR. Onel5969 ^{TT me} 12:37, 6 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - mentioned in reliable sources and has roles in prominent TV series. - Fuzheado | Talk 03:51, 20 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - but no "significant roles", as required to meet WP:NACTOR, and you just confirmed he doesn't meet WP:GNG. Onel5969 ^{TT me} 06:05, 23 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Delete passing mentions and minor roles do not make someone notable.John Pack Lambert (talk) 13:48, 23 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Keep The Rolling Out article is not a passing mention and solely about this person and appears to be a WP:RS. Entertainment Weekly is certainly a RS and the creators of the significant TV series American Gods spend a full paragraph praising this actor. Those are enough to pass over the WP:GNG bar. Eggishorn (talk) (contrib) 17:01, 30 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I can't figure out if Rolling Out is a WP:RS or not. I can't find anything that talks about their editorial policy, who publishes it, anything like that. -- RoySmith (talk) 17:12, 30 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Responding to Fuzheado, we're not looking for mentions. We're looking for ~~in-depth~~ significant coverage. And a smattering of minor roles doesn't count for much. For example, American Gods (TV series) lists a cast of 8 main roles and 17 recurring roles. Conphidance plays Okoye, the 16th listed recurring role, and that role is not even mentioned in any of the episode summaries. -- RoySmith (talk) 17:05, 30 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@RoySmith: Then you are using a standard that is not consistent with policy. See WP:GNG. It says "significant coverage" and not "in-depth coverage." Therefore your argument seems to be counter to this. -- Fuzheado | Talk 19:03, 30 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I've updated my comment, but that doesn't really change anything. -- RoySmith (talk) 19:25, 30 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Keep per Eggishorn, there seems to be enough source material out there to satisfy WP:GNG. – filelakeshoe (t / c)  08:35, 1 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
