Ted Reilly

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Completely fails notability, just an extra with no award nominations working on a television soap..Its not about them getting famous "one day" (the reason given for removing PROD), its about them fulfilling "OUR" notability criteria and in this case, its WP:TOOSOON..

Keep - He has a few credits under his belt and he is becoming more widely known. It's early, but not too soon. CDRL102 (talk) 18:25, 16 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Comment - I thought it was worth mentioning that Reilly is not an extra in EastEnders but one of the ensemble cast, and his role is of a main character. Extras are the non-speaking roles in the background of scenes. Not to mention that EastEnders is one of the biggest TV shows in the UK. Also, there are currently 14,500 Gnews results for "Ted Reilly" (11,500 if you add the word actor). Anemone Projectors 20:57, 16 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Extra, not background extra..usually extra's appear on episodes with one line or one camera view usually playing a supporting role..all his roles were just that..there is extras and then there is a 'guest role' and then there is a 'recurring' role...again, apart from NACTOR, TOOSOON also applies..give him 2 more seasons on the show and then maybe add him..its sad that we delete articles like this if this guy did the exact same thing on an American cable show but we somehow keep for British shows..--Ste moc 05:25, 18 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
He may have had guest roles in other series but he's still not an extra in EastEnders (Tracey (EastEnders) is an extra, this is a main character, though sadly we don't know how long the contract is that Reilly has signed), and EastEnders doesn't have seasons, it just continues without any breaks, averaging 208 episodes a year. Note that I'm not arguing against deletion, just setting the record straight. Anemone Projectors 06:53, 18 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to EastEnders as he only joined the show's cast today and thus is still questionable for the necessary solid independent notability. SwisterTwister talk 22:48, 22 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@SwisterTwister: Would List of EastEnders characters (2013)# Johnny Carter be a better target if this is redirected. AIRcorn (talk) 09:54, 26 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Keep He already has the part so don't think too soon applies. Has a few other roles so a redirect doesn't seem right. Plenty in google news, even ignoring the tabloid fodder.[1] AIRcorn (talk) 10:02, 26 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Weak delete, I think it's probably still WP:TOOSOON, he technically fails WP:ENT and most sources discuss his EastEnders character rather than the actor himself - I can't find any exceptions, even the interview he did in a recent Gay Times is purely discussing his EastEnders role. anemone projectors 08:15, 17 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
