Contest PROD. I'm going to give this one a go... I reckon it meets criteria, just needs expansion

Contentious material about living persons that is unsourced or poorly sourced must be removed immediately from the article and its talk page, especially if potentially libellous. If such material is repeatedly inserted, or if you have other concerns, please report the issue to this noticeboard.

Notice: This article lacks WP:A to establish WP:BIO

In my opinion, this article either lacks sufficient Attribution that it satisfies the Notability criteria for Biographies, or it may violate the Conflict of interest guideline, or perhaps it is a Copyright violation.

Untitled

Wikipedia articles must be based on reliable sources to verify any claims of notability. Even though the lack of reliable source attribution in an article is not grounds for deletion in itself, an article with absolutely no sources (or only external links to unreliable ones) suggests to some editors that multiple reliable sources may not, in fact, exist.

Although I am considering tagging this article for deletion according to the Deletion policy, I do not have time to examine this article in depth at the moment, and it may improve over time, in which case this warning was premature.

The article as no assertion of notability. Isn't that normally covered by {{db-bio}}? Jasynnash2 (talk) 12:57, 4 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, that is one possibility --Triwbe (talk) 13:08, 4 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

It may be Too Soon to put a {{Db-person}} on it, so I'll put some lipstick on this pig ... I would second a PROD in a New York minute :-) Happy Editing! — 151.200.237.53 (talk · contribs) _{18:55, 7 June 2008 (UTC)}[reply]

It seems to me that per our notability criteria for actors, Huckabee is notable as he has "had significant roles or been featured multiple times". The productions, plays, films or whatever else he has been in are presumed to be notable or else they would not have articles here. Just my thoughts, Alex Muller 12:02, 9 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

WP:BIO#Basic criteria says:

If the depth of coverage is not substantial, then multiple independent sources may be needed to prove notability; trivial coverage of a subject by secondary sources may not be sufficient to establish notability.

I would certainly call the subject's single mention by name in the NYT article to be "trivial".

Playing minor characters is not the same as a featured role (i.e., their name appears first or second, not in "See also") ... take Space Cowboys as an example ... the subject is not even mentioned anywhere in the article! — 151.200.237.53 (talk) 15:59, 9 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Selected filmography

As per Wikipedia is not a collection of lists, I have reduced the Filmography section of Cooper Huckabee (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) to just the films that have Wikipedia articles, and renamed it to Selected filmography ... people can click the IMDb External link that follows the section to see the subject's full filmography with links to information about each of their films.

Please see the template's talk page for examples of using the {{Imdb name}}, {{Imdb title}}, {{Tv.com person}}, and {{Tv.com show}} templates.

I have also used [[19xx in film|19xx]] tags for the years of the films, since [[19xx]] has little encyclopedic value.

Anonymous edits without comments may be reverted by anyone.

I am placing this boilerplate message on this Discussion page before I actually make the changes, so that I can just put "see Discussion page" in the edit summary, and hopefully not have my edit summarily reverted as vandalism by Some Other Editor.

Woof! a lot of the titles need to bee double-check and disambiguated ... ALWAYS CHECK WHAT THE LINK POINTS TO, DON'T JUST ACCEPT IT BECAUSE IT IS NOT RED — 151.200.237.53 (talk) 19:03, 7 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I have removed the [[Category:Flagged articles]] from the message above … it was flagged at least two months ago by Some Other Editor, but the current version looks to me like a Righteous Stub … Happy Editing! — 72.75.82.202 (talk · contribs) _{18:46, 7 October 2008 (UTC)}[reply]
