Most of his roles are unnamed bit parts. I doubt that he would have an article if his brothers weren't famous but notability isn't inherited. JDDJS (talk to me • see what I've done) 12:59, 19 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Delete a bunch of minor roles does not notability make.John Pack Lambert (talk) 19:38, 20 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Weak Keep: I think the subject can make a case for WP:NACTOR: he had starring roles in Time Trap (film), Church Ball and Druid Peak (though the latter two films are less notable), and supporting roles in Bottle Rocket (film), Fever Pitch (2005 film), Idiocracy (film), Calvin Marshall, Whip It (film) and The Big Year. He also co-directed The Wendell Baker Story with brother Luke. In terms of WP:GNG, however, many of the articles I've found mention or discuss the subject with respect to his brothers:

–Most reliable sources:

→https://ew.com/movies/celebrity-third-brothers/?slide=5944590#5944590 – Entertainment Weekly, briefly stating that the subject is the older brother of Owen Wilson and that he works as an actor and director

→https://www.latimes.com/entertainment/movies/la-et-mn-druid-peak-movie-review-20150110-story.html – LA Times, mention in Druid Peak review

→https://www.latimes.com/entertainment/movies/la-et-mn-capsule-time-trap-review-20181101-story.html – LA Times review of Time Trap, at the very least a mention, I couldn’t access the whole article

–Sources where there is no general consensus as to reliability:

→https://www.businessinsider.com.au/actors-in-most-wes-anderson-movies-bill-murray-owen-wilson-2018-3?r=US&IR=T – Business Insider, brief discussion of the subject

→https://www.businessinsider.my/celebrity-brothers-and-sisters-2017-7/ – Business Insider article about celebrities' siblings that we don’t know exist, says he has had minor parts in films, ironically the alleged non-notability of the subject makes him notable in this article

→https://screenrant.com/idiocracy-weird-facts/ – discusses him in reference to his part in Idiocracy

→https://screenrant.com/wendell-baker-story-movie-owen-wilson-family-actors/ – discussion regarding The Wendell Baker Story and other projects with his brothers

→https://www.irishtimes.com/culture/film/owen-wilson-he-s-charming-he-s-relaxed-and-he-talks-real-slow-1.2339161 – claims that his performance in Druid Peak has been well-received

I realise these aren't the greatest sources, but, combined with his significant and numerous roles in very notable films, I think there is enough for a "Weak Keep". Dflaw4 (talk) 08:53, 21 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Keep From what Dflaw4 has shown I think there should be enough to pass GNG, Govvy (talk) 10:58, 27 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: I've now updated the page, adding the above sources as well as some text. Dflaw4 (talk) 12:46, 27 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per Dflaw4's additions. -- Toughpigs (talk) 15:50, 27 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Keep: per Dflaw4's shown sources and per WP:BASIC that states, If the depth of coverage in any given source is not substantial, then multiple independent sources may be combined to demonstrate notability. I think the combination of the "filmography" and multiple sources gives evidence of notability. Otr500 (talk) 14:24, 29 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Keep: Per Dflaw4. _SUPER ^ASTIG 06:24, 4 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
