  • Comment: Hi, The subject is yet to show actor notability requirement, supported by independent, reliable sources talk directly of the subject with significant coverageto merit a page.
    :# "Yassir Lester Joins Fox Pilot ‘Making History’; Daniel Bonjour In The CW’s ‘Frequency’" from Dealine is just merely stated Bonjour stars in the TV series
    :# IAWTV award web site doesnt stated Bonjour's name and IAWTV is a primary source.
    :# The ENSARTS source is a primary source (an interview piece)
    :# The Final Draft was edited by Bonjour himself. - another primary source
    :# Behind the voice actor reference is just merely state he has done some voice over in video games.
    :# TV over time source does introduce Bonjour but a page in Wikipeidia is based on WP:NACTOR.
    :#Bojour appeared in 9 out of 58 episodes in iZombie (TV series) which is not considered a main character in the series, and although he appeared in 9 out 13 episodes in Frequency (TV series), the series was cancelled after only one session which the series does not demonstrated a major series.
    :# To say all that, Bonjour is a promising up coming actor, it is too soon now and maybe in the future Bonjour would be notable when he pass the WP:NACTOR criteria. CASSIOPEIA(talk) 03:29, 20 June 2018 (UTC)
