WP: BIO. Looks like a vanity page with nothing to indicate notability. Article is dependent on interviews from non-notable websites. Filmography is filled with background acting roles and acting roles in non-notable productions with non-notable filmmakers. Search results only yield minor projects that were never produced and background acting roles. Largely PROMO. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Francis Macon (talk • contribs

- Keep. Taking the references as a combined whole, I think the credentials add up to notability. Eastmain (talk • contribs) 02:24, 10 June 2023 (UTC)
- The credentials on his page are a bit exaggerated. For example, the listed role of "Adam" in High Maintenance (2018) Season 2 Episode 1 is a background role where he is entirely out of focus and unnamed. Even the IMDB listing for this particular role is only "Actor." If you check every other credit on the list, you'll find similarly that his roles in those productions are minor. Project Olympus (2016) which he prominently says "Davenport became the first African-American actor to play Hercules onscreen" is not only inaccurate (Dwayne Johnson portrayed Hercules in 2014) but is also a minor independent project that was never produced. All online references to this project disappear after 2016. His electronic music career refers to a Youtube account where he has 40 subscribers and a Spotify where has 140 monthly listeners. The page fails WP:GNG. Francis Macon (talk) 20:22, 10 June 2023 (UTC)]

- Delete The awards seem trivial ("best publicity photo"), rest isn't better, I can't find much for sourcing, beyond a Broadway actor with the same name. Non-notable as a musician, no charted singles, almost non-existent following on social media. Whole lot of nothing it seems. Agree it's PROMO. Oaktree b (talk) 00:08, 13 June 2023 (UTC)
- Delete. Not seeing any notability, just a lot of pr wank. Charted eponymously? Wtf does that mean, that he charted on the Adam Davenport chart? None of the "awards" are major. Claimed charting is just on one of billboards countless sub charts, not the countries main chart. PR is not independent coverage. duffbeerforme (talk) 00:17, 13 June 2023 (UTC)
