The result was delete. Numerically it's close to a tie, but I discount the first "keep" by a 23-edit-account and the three "keep"s from 28 to 30 July 2016 which do not make any policy-based argunent.  Sandstein  19:44, 15 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

notable bit part actor. Outside of a little local puff, look what this R.I. resident has done, he lacks coverage in independent reliable sources. All roles are very minor. duffbeerforme (talk) 06:18, 11 July 2016 (UTC)[reply

What sources say Boothman has netted over 2 Milliion? duffbeerforme (talk) 10:15, 16 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Duffbeerforme, I found these sources [1] and [2], but I don't know if they are reliable or not. Besides, as you know, net worth is not a notability criterion. I just think he got lucky because he landed an apparently small role in a huge movie. I don't know how actors get paid, but if he's getting money each time Jurassic World is shown somewhere, or he gets paid in some way based on movie revenue, it's no surprise to me that he's a millionaire.

  • Keep Criteria 1 is easily satisfied. Having roles in multiple notable productions, there is no valid reason to delete this article. -BusyWikipedian (talk) 02:06, 13 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep I'm looking at his work and it's significance and I can't seem to compute why this article should be deleted. His involvement in the Star War's video game should help in qualifying the notability. I vote to 'keep'.

  • Keep- The artist has received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject, that is the base of
    secondary and tertiary sources available to analyze the claims made within the article. About whether roles are significant or not, I personally believe the young raptor handling scene was most thrilling scene in the movie, I agree it is up to one's personal interpretation. Rotten tomatoes has listed Ryan Gosling's character in Drive as Driver and Viggo Mortensen's character in The Road as Man, I don't think these characters are not significant.

    • WP:GNG is open to interpretation. I will write some key statements in italics: ... has received significant coverage in reliable sources ... That is only true in the case of The Providence Journal [11]. Notice that the coverage in Providence Monthly is two short paragraphs, and the rest is an interview [12]. In my opinion WJAR is better, but not by much [13]. There is no fixed number of sources required since sources vary in quality and depth of coverage, but multiple sources are generally expected. Well, to me it's problematic that only one source that I've found has depth of coverage. Maybe you think there's enough coverage if the sources are added up, but I don't see it that way, especially because I view interviews as primary sources, and I just don't see enough coverage without them. Regarding the movies, that's interesting, but context is important because Rotten Tomatoes shows that in The Road no one has a name, so it's no surprise that Viggo Mortensen's character doesn't have a name. And I haven't watched Drive, but that could be an anomalous situation. Rotten Tomatoes shows only two characters with a first and last name in that movie. I guess you watch tons of movies because that second example is quite bizarre, in my opinion. Good memory! Anyway, I look at this actor, Colby Boothman, and keeping in mind that notability is not temporary, I just don't think he's ready yet. I see too much weight being put on one role which may or may not be a significant one. I haven't watched that movie (Jurassic World). Did he live to tell his adventures? That's always the key question. Dontreader (talk) 12:27, 16 July 2016 (UTC)[reply

  • Delete as I'm still not convinced regardless of this article's appearance, his IMDb ultimately and basically says it all; still nothing actually convincing and is best restarted when better substance is available. SwisterTwister talk 21:14, 27 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep I was attempting to add new citations but it seems that wiki citation is malfunctioning. I'll try again later tonight. Page is in progress with new citations and additional info. I would like to clean up the writing to more of a scholarly approach as well. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Wikipage2016 (talk • contribs) 23:09, 29 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep Hi, This is George. I would like to contribute if it isn't too late. I agree with busywikipedian. There seems to be enough evidence to pass the criteria, but, the page seems to be full of bad citations and is overly promotional. I'm working on another page first, but I want to come back and see if I can clean this up some and make judgement if it can stand. Georgeforhistory (talk) 01:45, 30 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Does anyone know what is wrong with the citations pull-down menu? Wikipage2016 (talk) 01:44, 31 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • I've been wiki'ing all day and going to take a break. I did some serious cuts and repairs on this page, what is left looks like it's enough to keep it alive for a while until he earns more credits. It looks like he's gaining at least 2 or more a year so why not let it stay for now. I vote to keep it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Wikipage2016 (talk • contribs) 02:10, 31 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • keep One reason I disagree is the Star Wars inclusion. That alone is enough to establish notability. I've seen actors with much less significance keep their pages.

  • Weak keep for some coverage in RS, and using my ENTERTAINER rule of thumb that several minor roles are the equivalent of one major one.  The Steve  07:24, 6 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I do consider such sources, but I give them less weight, just as I give less weight to minor roles.  The Steve  08:13, 14 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
