Another puff piece for West sourced by trivial mentions and misrepresented sources. Created at Eric West (actor) to bypass the salt. Has been considerably fixed up since it's creation but still fails to show how this "celebrity" is notable. An unreleased album. Minor music production. Bit parts in single episodes. A part in an unreleased? non notable film. A part in an upcoming film with no indication of wether it is a significant role. Appearing in an advert. Showing up at fashion shows. Where is the notability? West lacks significant coverage in independent reliable sources. Nothing satisfying WP:NACTOR or WP:MUSIC. duffbeerforme (talk) 05:37, 16 July 2012 (UTC)
You have an odd obsession with Eric West. Notability is the publishers of GQ, Vogue and Detail calling him a style innovator on their feature of him. http://www.fingerprintscn.com/:b=firefox13/?day=d2012_181
MTV naming him one of the breakout stars of the year. http://movies.mtv.co.uk/news/breakout-stars-to-watch-in-2012/ou7ynn
Eric joining the cash of NBC's Smash http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10151017532542648&set=a.10150479655662648.374575.309259757647&type=1&theater
Being listed at one of the top 500 on IMDB. http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0922064/
Madonna is in the top 500. Give it a break. http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000187/

- Your obsession with Eric West is also odd, inferring that all of these things make him notable. He's shooting for Smash for a week, sounds like a one episode bit part. The MTV article won't open, the GQ article doesn't infer notability, and being listed in the top 500 of IMDB is like saying he's in the top 500 of people on facebook. It does not infer notability. Overall, he fails WP:ENT and should be deleted as such. --Fbifriday (talk) 06:05, 16 July 2012 (UTC)
Speedy Delete G4. Obviously same person, obviously still not notable. If the movie he's supposedly in gets produced, I could see this changing, but for now, no no no. --Fbifriday (talk) 06:00, 16 July 2012 (UTC)
Keep How is it someone who is named by MTV as the #5 Breakout Star of 2012 by MTV. Featured in Vanity Fair, US Weekly, Make's the top 100 of IMDB - http://www.eric-west.com/blog/2012/06/01/congrats-to-eric-on-making-imdbs-top-100-actors-in-the-world/ to stay the LEAST is up for a speedy delete? This is the biggest joke there is. Madonna isn't even in the top 500 of IMDB right now and cast in Tyler Perry's new movie. This is a joke. 24.186.99.125 (talk) 06:09, 16 July 2012 (UTC)
- Comment Per WP:GNG ""Independent of the subject" excludes works produced by those affiliated with the subject or its creator. For example, self-publicity, advertising, self-published material by the subject, the subject's website, autobiographies, and press releases are not considered independent." Thus, you linking to the subject's website as a claim of his notability doesn't matter. And, once again, who's in the top 500 on IMDB is about a persuasive as being in the top 500 in the subscriber list on Youtube. It does not make the subject notable. Only independent, reliable sources with significant coverage do that. --Fbifriday (talk) 06:15, 16 July 2012 (UTC)
