[edit] James Evans (actor)

James Evans (actor) (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

Article about a nonnotable actor generated by himself (76.17X.XX.XXX is a blocked user claiming to be the same) or his associates to promote himself and his work in very minor roles, namely as a bailiff in a handful of court shows. Cumulus Clouds (talk) 04:04, 29 January 2008 (UTC)

  • Delete Fails under "entertainers" per Wikipedia:Notability (people) not a major part in a notable show, gg. -- Ļıßζېấשּׂ~ۘ Ώƒ ﻚĢęخ (talk) 04:15, 29 January 2008 (UTC)
  • Weak Delete 95% of the edits done to the article were done by editors later blocked as sockpuppets. Had it been only 5% with the majority of the edits being done by established editors, I might have felt compelled to rise to its defense. The article's only merit is that actor ishimself Latino and quite popular among hispanic viewers in the US. I do not know how well that demographic is represented here on Wiki, or if they might feel him to be notable. MichaelQSchmidt (talk) 10:59, 29 January 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete, non of his productions or acting parts seem particularly notable - Dumelow (talk) 13:35, 29 January 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete, as the stated editors appear to be from SPAs. Notability based on genetic representation is not a factor in my decision, but the intent of the SPAs to circumvent policy definitely is. --LeyteWolfer (talk) 18:23, 29 January 2008 (UTC)
