Delete: TOOSOON, the theatre career isn't enough for notability, and being cast in future films that might never get released is not enough. Oaktree b (talk) 16:59, 4 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: The "Pressure" film appears to be a trivial role and the "Volton" role seems undetermined. Oaktree b (talk) 17:01, 4 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

One of the sources for Romeo and Juliet is a review that mentions him favorably in regards to his performance as Paris - and there's some other coverage mentioning him in that role. With Voltron, that's kind of a sticky area. The film is considered to be notable enough for an article at this point in time since there's coverage and filming has begun. There's quite a bit of coverage that mentions Quinn-Toye, so one could argue that this could be considered a notable role for him since the film is now notable and there's coverage for him, even if there's no review. I'm not arguing for a keep, but it's kind of not as clear as I'd like. ReaderofthePack(formerly Tokyogirl79) (｡◕‿◕｡) 14:14, 5 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I've found a second review that mentions him. This review from The Stage also came up in a search specifically with his name, but it's paywalled so I can't tell if he's actually mentioned in the review or if it's just a cast listing.
So this muddies the water even more, as this should be enough to establish that his performance as Paris is notable enough to count towards notability. It's not enough on its own - he would need at least one more notable role to really push NACTOR. So the question I have is this: can an actor be considered notable if they performed a major role in an unreleased film that passes NFF? The guidelines for entertainers doesn't specify that the productions have to have been released - just notable. I honestly don't think I've ever seen a situation like this one before - it's usually far more cut and dry with actors of unreleased films.
Again, I'm not necessarily arguing for a keep. Assuming the film never releases and he never gains another role, this is going to make for an extremely weak article. I just want to make sure that this is considered if the choice is to redirect, as it could be used for precedent in the future.
