Deletion of Nicholas Masson

Comment: I am concerned that the only objections I see, are based on either incorrect assumptions/conclusions, misinformation, or misinterpretation of policy. For example, perhaps the nominator can explain, for our purposes, what difference it makes if a movie is filmed on a stage or a soundstage, if it has a theatrical release in movie theatres? Regarding IMDB, the http://www.imdb.com/title/tt6346162/fullcredits?ref_=tt_cl_sm#cast current entry also does not list the director, producers, musical director, cinematographer or any crew or post-production. That just means the current IMDB entry is incomplete. However, he is listed there now. Besides, the official website also lists subject and his character name. So the claim that he is not a "primary player" is disproved by the http://newsiesthemusical.com/ official source - which, since it's ''Disney,'' is reliable and conclusive. Their link: http://newsiesthemusical.com/ Meet the cast and creative team proves the subject plays one of the principal roles. Also the Instagram/Twitter pages only approximate social media followers. But as the nominator originally misapplied  here, which does not apply to actors, the nominator does not seem to understand , which does and subject clearly passes. Subject's extended body of work on a Broadway national tour; a prior national tour; an upcoming feature film; and current touring engagement, all of which are reliably sourced in the article, combine to easily satisfy NACTOR#1. While subject's thousands of social media followers and the thousands of likes subject generates with each post, by definition, constitutes a "cult following," per NACTOR#2. Subject also satisfies NACTOR#3, in that it is both unique and prolific to have a two-year run in the same role in a major Broadway national touring production, and then to reprise it in a Disney-produced feature film. Subject's current coverage already surpasses  and . The fact that, as a cast member, the subject shared in Tony Award nominations and other awards and is listed in the historical record of this production, also satisfies . So not only is there no basis for deletion now, but even if there were, it would most likely evaporate following the additional coverage subject will receive upon the release of his upcoming film. Finally, it appears to have been ignored that this article is a . The threshold for deletion of stubs is "little verifiable information, or if its subject has no apparent notability." Neither of which apply

Comment: I believe this is just a case of applying the wrong notability guidelines.  does not apply to actors.  does. Subject's role in a multiple Tony-award winning, Broadway touring production, of a Disney-produced show, is sufficiently notable in itself. Equally notable, subject also appears in the same role in the feature filmhttp://newsiesthemusical.com/. Subject also currently stars in Disney Cruise Line's live musical showhttps://www.instagram.com/_nickmasson_/. Article also features subject's RS coverage in http://www.broadwayworld.com/ Broadway World, https://www.broadwayconnection.net/faculty/profile.php?tid=332 Broadway Connection, the Internet Broadway Database and Playbill and local coveragehttp://www.amherstcitizen.com/files/Archives/VOLUME_23/V23-N22/PDF_files/AC14.pdf. It should also most likely include reviews from the 65 cities the subject appeared in during his show's multi-year run.http://www.playbill.com/article/newsies-will-end-national-tour-in-october. Per the article, the subject has also performed in another notable touring productionhttps://ccpblognews.wordpress.com/2015/12/11/entertainment-spotlight-meet-actor-nick-masson/. Also notable, per |NACTOR, subject also has thousands of followers on social media.https://www.instagram.com/_nickmasson_/,https://twitter.com/nick_masson_. So I think subject's notability is pretty clearly and easily established. Not just with |NACTOR, but he also passes  generally, and  and , specifically. So I think the nominator should withdraw this nom under |speedy keep
