This article just featured at WP:BLPN. I cannot find significant coverage of this actor in independent, reliable sources. I checked out the sources in http://www.matthewziff.com/page7/page7.html and they do not amount to significant coverage - event photos, press releases, and the interview with "Magic Image Magazine" looks like promotional copy. Good luck to him, but I don't think we can effectively write a bio based on the material available. Fences&Windows 03:02, 25 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete – No substantial coverage in multiple reliable sources, failing WP:GNG. I don't think he passes under WP:ENT either, since none of his roles or films have been notable as far as I can tell. Sorry Gary Busey. JFHJr (㊟) 04:35, 25 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Delete- As WP:TOOSOON. No clear redirect target. Will deserve recreation once WP:N, WP:GNG, or WP:NACTOR is met. Dru of Id (talk) 04:58, 25 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per above. Fails WP:BIO. — Nearly Headless Nick {C} 07:59, 25 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Fails WP:ENT, WP:BIO etc. ukexpat (talk) 21:34, 25 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Delete: Yeah, the article became the target of some people who must know him and were mocking the puffery-tone of the BLP. Nevertheless, we can't have that going on, and since the subject doesn't meet WP:GNG, its easy enough to delete.--Milowent • ^hasspoken 00:29, 26 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. I cleaned up the article, but after doing so, it left only one secondarily sourced item, his bit in high school. Even assuming IMDb is accurate about all the films he's been in, there's no indication any of the films or the roles he played were notable. All in all, his work simply doesn't pass WP:ENT.--Bbb23 (talk) 00:47, 26 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
