Delete does indeed appear to be promotional in nature and the sources cited aren't exactly what we would use to show WP:GNG.--Paul McDonald (talk) 20:17, 19 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Weak Keep the article itself is not of terribly high quality but I think the subject has established some notability given his mentions in the Examiner and Daily Northwestern. OTOH, much of his notability is given from IMDb and associated databases, which if I am not mistaken are of debated reliability on Wikipedia.

- "Mentions" not enough. Notability requires "significant coverage". Staszek Lem (talk) 19:06, 24 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  - In that case the Examiner article gives him main focus, but is highly subjective and promotional, with the Northwestern article mentioning him once in passing. A Google Search gives only this article and one page of social media links before bringing up irrelevant results. Delete --John M Wolfson (talk) 05:18, 25 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
