Delete. WP:BLP of an actor and musician, with no strong claim to passing either WP:NACTOR or WP:NMUSIC. His television and film parts have been entirely bit parts (mostly as unnamed characters to boot), the introduction posits his most notable role as a community theatre production in Whitby (and I mean the one in Ontario, not the one in England), and the only thing here that might maybe constitute an NMUSIC pass, a nomination at the VIMA Music Awards, is both unsourced and unsupported by the award's article. And for sourcing, what we have here is IMDb (not a reliable or notability-conferring source) and blogs right across the board, with no evidence of reliable source coverage about him in real media shown at all. As always, Wikipedia is not a free résumé-hosting platform for emerging actors looking for publicity -- he must already be the subject of reliable source coverage, which verifies that he's already achieved something that satisfies a notability criterion, for an article to become earned. It's not "get into Wikipedia and then maybe you'll get bigger parts and win a Dora someday"; it's "win the Dora and then maybe you'll get into Wikipedia".

Speedy delete (maybe) as WP:A7, since there are no credible claims of significance. The VIMA Award doesn't even exist anymore (their web domain is for sale). Bearcat's deletion rationale is thorough and sensible. As I've said repeatedly to other subjects of deleted articles, you can't have a Wikipedia article if you're up-and-coming, you must have already arrived. ~Anachronist (talk) 06:25, 25 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Delete when your most notable role is in a non-notable production, you are not notable.John Pack Lambert (talk) 16:54, 25 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - Seems to have done very minor roles. All the references provided do not seem to be independent and notable themselves. Fails WP:GNG. Jupitus Smart 06:41, 3 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
