Actor whose credits are limited to:

• Just My Luck (2006) (uncredited) .... Student
• "The Bedford Diaries" - I'm Gonna Love College (2006) TV Episode .... Student
• 16 Blocks (2006) (uncredited) .... Pedestrian
• "Law & Order" - Sport of Kings (2005) TV Episode .... Jockey

Furthermore, we have the "film Brotherhood, which received rave reviews at a local film festival". Screams non-notability. Punkmorten 10:27, 5 August 2006 (UTC)

• This is on the talk page to conest the original speedy of it: "This artice should not be deleted because Joshua Tolby is an upcoming actor that has a credible page on the Internet Movie Database, which notes specific jobs he has done in the entertainment business thus far." I think upcoming actor pretty much summarizes why this article should go. In addition, take a look at who created the article, User:JoshuaTolby of course. Delete as a non notable actor. Wait until he has more of a career that isn't bit (and uncredited) parts yet. Metros232 13:09, 5 August 2006 (UTC)
• Delete as vanity. Acyso 15:28, 5 August 2006 (UTC)

• Not all of his acting jobs were uncredited, so he has had enough screen time to be on one of these articles. Also, just because the film "Brotherhood" was independent, does not mean that it was non notable. This article should not be deleted.
  • —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Magicallydelicious (talk • contribs) .. User's only edits are to this AFD. Punkmorten 16:35, 5 August 2006 (UTC)
• This page should stay on here. Why delete someone's article if they are an actor and will continue to play bigger parts? I agree with the original contest; if he has a page on IMDb, he's credible. Those editors check EVERYTHING and he wouldn't be on there if it wasn't credible. --JordanW86 16:12, 5 August 2006 (UTC) (talk • contribs)
  • User's sole edit is to this AFD. By the way; yes he would. Punkmorten 16:35, 5 August 2006 (UTC)
• Delete Not notable at this time. Uncredited roles (i.e. extra), and roles of background characters who have no name, are pretty much worthless. As for "will continue to play bigger parts", Wikipedia is not a crystal ball. When and if he actually has notable parts, feel free to come back and recreate with new info.
