# Talk:Dwayne Cooper

Is this person notable?  He is certainly not notable as an actor, as he has played only ensemble roles or minor characters.  As a contestant on RuPaul's Drag Race, he placed 9th.  His career seems very WP:MILL to me. Looking at the refs, they are mostly interviews or brief mentions, not significant coverage in a WP:RS that would satisfy WP:GNG. Would someone please explain why they think this subject is notable?  I really cannot imagine how such an article could be a GA candidate.

" And in the winning cast of Smokey Joe’s Café (which nabbed Outstanding Ensemble, off-Broadway) was Dwayne Cooper, also known as Milan from Drag Race!"

OK, but it's not a major off-Broadway accolade (for example, a Lortel Award or an Obie Award), and the mention of his name as "being in the cast" is not WP:SIGCOV. It's also, of course, not an individual award -- Cooper happened to be in the ensemble of that off-Broadway production, which won that Rivera award. It seems to me that you are working very hard to polish a WP:MILLstone.  -- Ssilvers (talk) 18:30, 16 December 2023 (UTC)

I just posted this as a reminder, not to address your notability concerns. ---Another Believer (Talk) 18:54, 16 December 2023 (UTC)
OK, thanks. -- Ssilvers (talk) 18:55, 16 December 2023 (UTC)
