This is a collection of discussions on the deletion of articles related to Actors and filmmakers. It is one of many
deletion lists coordinated by
WikiProject Deletion sorting. Anyone can help maintain the list on this page.
Adding a new AfD discussion
Adding an AfD to this page does not add it to the main page at
WP:AFD. Similarly, removing an AfD from this page does not remove it from the main page at
WP:AFD. If you want to nominate an article for deletion, go through the process on that page before adding it to this page. To add a discussion to this page, follow these steps:
Edit this page and add {{Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/PageName}} to the top of the list. Replace "PageName" with the relevant article name, i.e. the one on the existing AFD discussion. Also, indicate the title of the article in the edit summary as it is particularly helpful to add a link to the article in the edit summary. When you save the page, the discussion will automatically appear.
You should also tag the AfD by adding {{subst:delsort|Actors and filmmakers|~~~~}} to it, which will inform editors that it has been listed here. You may place this tag above or below the nomination statement or at the end of the discussion thread.
Closed AfD discussions are automatically removed by
a bot.
Other types of discussions
You can also add and remove other discussions (
prod,
CfD,
TfD etc.) related to Actors and filmmakers. For the other XfD's, the process is the same as AfD (except {{Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/PageName}} is used for MFD and {{transclude xfd}} for the rest). For PRODs, adding a link with {{prodded}} will suffice.

Highly promotional article (more in the history) of a non-notable comedian. Not a single acceptable secondary source proving notability is included and I can't find any--it's all announcements and links to his podcast on Google (including News and Books).
This is the best I can find.

This subject appears to fall afoul of
WP:CRIM, specifically the criminal...should be the subject of a Wikipedia article only if one of the following applies: 1) The victim of the crime is a renowned national or international figure, including, but not limited to, politicians or celebrities; or 2) The motivation for the crime or the execution of the crime is unusual—or has otherwise been considered noteworthy—such that it is a well-documented historic event. Generally, historic significance is indicated by sustained coverage of the event in reliable secondary sources which persists beyond contemporaneous news coverage and devotes significant attention to the individual's role.
I would contend that neither of these conditions is met. I don't think there's any argument that the motivation or execution of the crime itself was unusual or of historic importance, or that the victim was a renowned individual. While it was stated at RFUD that the subject is a high-profile individual, coverage since their fall from grace (i.e. post-2018) is extremely limited, and that which does exist (
[1]) suggests that the subject is intentionally avoiding the limelight and will continue to do so for the foreseeable future. Following the guidance at
Wikipedia:Who is a low-profile individual, I would conclude that Huddleston is a low-profile individual at this time.
Even before the indictment, significant coverage in RS is limited to the context of
Hollywood Sci-Fi Museum; if we had an article on that topic (or if the biography of his father
Floyd Huddleston, made any mention of Huston and/or we had a source to back up that claim) a redirect outcome would be appropriate, but we don't at this time. signed, Rosguilltalk 14:43, 11 June 2024 (UTC)reply
"On December 30, 1965, Huddleston married Nancy Adams, a commercial jingle singer, at the First Baptist Church chapel in Memphis, Tennessee. Huddleston died from a heart attack on September 27, 1991, at a hospital located in Panorama City, Los Angeles. Huddleston was survived by his wife Nancy, his son, Huston, and his mother, Hettye T. Huddleston."

Keep Please also note that Huston Huddleston has not been avoiding limelight and has been making independent films (hiring underage actresses) which he has posted about on his own social media. It does not seem relevant to include in the article but it is in context for why the article should remain.
Miri1966 (
talk) 17:36, 11 June 2024 (UTC)reply
I didn't say his notability is due entirely to being Floyd Huddleston's son, only that it is not true that Floyd's biography fails to mention him.
His notability is anchored in his own activities as a writer/director which are ongoing; the museum project which has had numerous news articles and financial campaigns; his conviction which merits documentation as he has continued to work in both listed areas.

Delete: The fact that this person was interviewed by The Myanmar Times interested me, so I conducted a thorough search for sources, looking up every single movie he was involved with. However, I could only find one review from Variety on The Last Eve,
[21] which the subject person made a glancing mention as one of four executive producers. In other words, his entire filmography consists of either unnotable projects or roles that were too minor to be considered significant contributions to the productions. I then saw that he was said to have debuted in Hong Kong action cinema, so I tried to look him up on the
Hong Kong Movie Database (where information is generally well-preserved), but I could not even find him listed. With only one interview source and all their film involvement being insignificant, the subject person fails both GNG and NACTOR. —Prince of Erebor(

I am not sure how this article looked back in 2012 when the first AfD came about, but now the article is confusing because it doesn't seem to know whether it wants to be about Mr. Burrell alone or about him and his brother. At any rate, the article discusses a
non-notable production team(?) whose own discography hasn't seen them ever having charted; and the list of albums that they supposedly produced for other artists isn't sourced. It doesn't help that the article reads like the brothers themselves wrote it. Erpertblah, blah, blah... 04:53, 11 June 2024 (UTC)reply

The article seems to attempt to inherit notability from
Wayne Newton, Jerry's younger brother.
WP:NOTINHERITED applies. Checking the references is challenging. Jerry does appear, generally with reference to the sibling, and as a passing reference to Jerry. The article seems to be more a tribute (
WP:NOTMEMORIAL applies) than anything else. Jerry was obviously notable to those who loved and respected him, but the references do not show a pass of any of
WP:BIO,
WP:NMUSICIAN, nor
WP:NACTOR. Releasing records does not mean notability, nor does a bit part in an episode of
Bonanza where he is listed as a cast member, but his part was not a named character. 🇺🇦

Delete - I agree with the nominator, as Jerry had a minor career as an entertainer but with no achievements on his own that satisfy our notability requirements. He is only mentioned briefly in sources about his much more famous brother. This article is probably an attempted
memorial. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (

Ivor Kirchin,
Basil Kirchin as he was a member of
The Kirchin Band for a year, having replaced the featured singer
Rory Blackwell in 1957. Webb stayed with the band for a year and I believe sang on at least two recordings. He was involved with both Ivor and Basil. This would also preserve the history. Thanks

Delete: An article that doesn't meet
WP:ENT for inclusion on Wikipedia. While I couldn't find any clue in the former AFDs that I still hold deep breath of how it had survived two–three discussions. I am not going to base in any past whatsoever but here is the source analysis and final conclusion.
source 1 is a primary source but it verifies the content as used in most of the articles like that per
WP:PRIMARYSOURCE.
Source 2 is good for sourcing but doesn't support the 'wife marriage'.
source 3 is an obvious advert and
interview making me suspect the credibility/reliability of source 2.
Source 4 is unreliable, and
source 5 looks like an advertorial unverifiable publication.
Source 6,
source 7, and
source 8 contributes to a non notable controversy and I call it
WP:BLP1E because the said event is not notable for a standalone article.
[22] and
[23] supports a non notable film and book, hence doesn't meet

Keep Article has been improved and more reliable sources are added, such as

Prothom Alo. Popular national reliable newspapers claim that Salman Muqtadir is a popular YouTuber and actor and there are a bunch of sources about him from reliable sites. Although some news are about his marriage or other things but they are published independently about him and declared him as YouTuber, influencer or actor. Therefore GNG has been able to establish.
