Contested prod. Prod reason: "Child actor who received no media attention during or after his "acting" career which ended when he was about 5. Still a minor, not notable (a character can be somewhat notable without his actor being notable). Only 59 distinct Google hits."[http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=%22Alex+Stevens%22+eastenders+-wikipedia&start=80&sa=N] Contested because "add reference and external link", both are to IMDb though, which does not address the reason for this ProD at all (I never claimed that the article was incorrect, only that the career of this person was insufficient wrt notability.) I will list three similar AfDs as well, but will do so sperately, as the notability of these persons is independent of one another, even though the prod / deprod cycle was similar. Actor has two Google NEws hits, but both are very much in passing[http://news.google.com/archivesearch?um=1&ned=us&hl=en&q=%22Alex+Stevens%22+eastenders+-wikipedia].

Delete - Appearing on a popular television program is a good path to notability, but I don't imagine his character had much of a role during the years he was on. Child actors at that age are practically set pieces, but if someone knows that he played an important, memorable role in the series, I am happy to reconsider.

Redirect to Peter Beale, as a somewhat plausible search term. Lankiveil ^{(speak to me)} 13:00, 28 March 2009 (UTC).
