• Strong Keep - It is not a case of minor roles so far. The role on "The Politician" is a major role on a widely watched and covered series. Secondly Corenswet has received wide media attention. Next the role on the forthcoming show " Hollywood" is also in a leading capacity.

No disrespect intended, but, were the sources out there checked before nominating this article for deletion, as per is it accurate that he just has had minor roles? Williamsdoritios (talk) 09:20, 16 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete has not had multiple significant roles in notable productions.John Pack Lambert (talk) 20:39, 19 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
• Comment He is what is referred to as a breakout star. This is evidenced in the rising number of page views up to 2,500 plus a day but more importantly his a key role in a widely watched series followed by another forthcoming one in a series made by Ryan Murphy a highly regarded and celebrated producer. His are not non-notable roles in non-notable productions but rather he is a much talked about young actor.Williamsdoritios (talk) 14:31, 21 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
• Comment - After further research prior to "The Politician" it turns out he had the 'S***tarring" role in 'Affairs of State" as covered by major media outlets such as the Los Angelos Times and Forbes.com ...[1] and [2]Williamsdoritios (talk) 19:20, 22 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

• Wikipedia deletion policy for actors is not based only on whether the actor has had major roles in various productions. The productions themselves also have to be “notable”. Wikipedia policy defines “notable“ as a production that is the subject of more than short-term public attention as documented in written secondary sources. I think it makes sense to interpret this as meaning that people need to be writing about the production in secondary sources for longer than just the period immediately preceding or following its release, since almost every production receives written publicity and is reviewed in some publications around the time it’s released (or, if it’s a play, during the run of the play). Maybe a production is also notable if the person producing it is notable, especially if their body of work is notable, which is true of Ryan Murphy. It’s probably relevant that both “The Politician“ and “Hollywood“ already have Wikipedia pages, suggesting that they are considered notable by Wikipedia. So Corenswet had or will have a significant role in two arguably notable productions thereby arguably satisfying Wikipedia’s criteria for inclusion. I don’t think Affairs of State counts as “notable,” since was only written about in secondary sources around the time of its release (in the form of reviews). I note that that movie does not have a Wikipedia page of its own. Caroline1981 (talk) 22:26, 23 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
