Delete. Notability not established in accordance with notability guidelines for actors, nor through the general notability guidelines, which require significant coverage in reliable and independent sources. Article states that the subject is best known for his role as a main cast member of Falling Skies, but the sources don't support this. IMDb does not list him in the main cast and only shows him appearing in seven of 20 episodes. Best regards, Cindy(talk to me) 16:40, 19 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

- Weak Delete As with alot of actors, I'm not worried about the refs as I'm hoping he passes WP:NACTOR. Falling Skies is on my Netflix queue, so I haven't seen it. However, not all 20 episodes have aired as the show just started airing season 2. IMDb generally doesn't list details about episodes that haven't shown, so they would only have details on 12 episodes. Also, IMDb is not that timely at updating acting credits. The star of the show Noah Wyle is only listed in 10 episodes. Be careful at what IMDb says at it is updated by volunteers. Looking around, he is not a main character and would be best described as a recurring character. Other acting jobs are either minor or best described as "recurring". I'd say he is close to notability, but needs a substantial part or two to kick him over the line. This is a case of WP:TOOSOON Bgwhite (talk) 07:09, 20 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
