without prejudice against recreation in the future if and when his notability and sourceability improve. "Notable for having roles" is not automatically passed just because the article ''lists'' roles — ''every'' actor has ''always'' had roles, because having roles is the job description, so merely listing roles is not the magic ticket. Rather, that knife cuts on the degree of |reliable source coverage that the actor has or has not received ''for'' having roles, and not just on the list of roles itself. And as I noted above, ANYBIO is not automatically passed by just any award that exists, either, so just saying that he won a Young Artist Award is not an instant notability freebie if your source for the fact is his own IMDb profile rather than a news article ''about'' his winning of a Young Artist Award — that knife, too, still cuts on the depth of ''media'' coverage it did or didn't cause the actor to ''receive''. But eight of the ten footnotes here are |primary sources or blogs, which are not support for notability at all, and the two which are real media outlets just glancingly mention his name without being about him to any non-trivial degree. Some of these things would be valid notability claims if the article were better-sourced, yes — but literally none of them are "inherent" notability freebies that would ''exempt'' him from having to have better sources than this
