• Keep for now. When I was first searching, I thought I was going to vote delete as too soon because it seems he's only recently started The Carrie Diaries role and, although he's had two stage productions and one episode of a TV show, I thought there simply wasn't much about him (which I still stand by). For the Damn Yankees role, I only found two additional links [http://www.broadwayworld.com/seattle/article/BWW-Reviews-DAMN-YANKEES-at-the-5th-Avenue-Theatre-20120427 here] and [http://www.broadwayworld.com/seattle/article/Photo-Flash-First-Look-at-DAMN-YANKEES-at-5th-Avenue-Theatre-20120426 here] (which are minor mentions with some photos tossed in). A Google News search for The Carrie Diaries [https://www.google.com/search?hl=en&gl=us&tbm=nws&authuser=0&q=Chris+Wood+The+Carrie+Diaries&oq=Chris+Wood+The+Carrie+Diaries&gs_l=news-cc.3..43j43i53.568.6308.0.6402.43.4.0.35.0.0.225.576.0j3j1.4.0...0.0...1ac.1.EjPVPMRn1wE#authuser=0&gl=us&hl=en&q=Chris+Wood+The+Carrie+Diaries&start=0&tbm=nws showed] some links and blogs (including from some blacklisted websites) and a [https://www.google.com/search?hl=en&gl=us&tbm=nws&authuser=0&q=Chris+Wood+The+Carrie+Diaries&oq=Chris+Wood+The+Carrie+Diaries&gs_l=news-cc.3..43j43i53.568.6308.0.6402.43.4.0.35.0.0.225.576.0j3j1.4.0...0.0...1ac.1.EjPVPMRn1wE#authuser=0&gl=us&hl=en&q=Chris+Wood+The+Carrie+Diaries browser] search provided nothing different. So, again, I'm on the fence because this could be too soon especially if they cut him from TCD but then again he is at least getting some attention which may lead to more in-depth coverage.

• Delete Only one substantial role. Beerest 2 talk 19:58, 26 July 2013 (UTC) 20:12, 22 November 2013 (UTC)

::and his first role is what got him noticed, The episode he will 'debut' in premiers today which means within the next 7 days, people will be searching his name..infact already in the last 6 days since creation, his page has been viewed over [http://stats.grok.se/en/latest/Chris_Wood_%28actor%29 3000 times] which will double in the next 3 days + this is similar to Brett Dalton who also had ONE substantial role and his article created the day he made his debut on Agents of SHIELD....--Stemoc (talk) 00:53, 23 November 2013 (UTC)

• Delete per nom. Also WP:TOOSOON. If, and that's a big if, he makes a big impact, then the article can be recreated. Clarityfiend (talk) 02:54, 24 November 2013 (UTC)

::and already over 5400 views since creation, should reach 10000 in under a week..yeah its too soon but it will be silly to recreate this article again in 2 weeks..actually, i did all the hard work updating it ..hehe...[http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Chris_Wood_%28actor%29&direction=next&oldid=582009880 This] is how it looked when it was tagged for DELETION.--Stemoc (talk) 04:12, 24 November 2013 (UTC)

::*Do you have an actual policy to support your position? Clarityfiend (talk) 09:26, 25 November 2013 (UTC)

::::As mentioned above, the ONLY reason the article was "AFD'ed" was because of the link i provided above, If i was an admin, I would have deleted it straight away. I have improved the article even though i'm not in the habit of improving other people's messes. Apart from that major role in TCD, He is a stage actor and thus qualifies under Number 3 of the notability policy. He already passes the basic criteria due to the recurring role in a MAJOR broadcasting network series and I have well referenced both his stage acting and current and upcoming tv appearances. I refuse to add more links to the article to avoid making it spammy...+ it already got over 2100 views over the last 24 hours and already in the Top1000 in starmeter rankings at IMDb--Stemoc (talk) 09:59, 25 November 2013 (UTC)

:::As of sources provided, you should know that IMDb generally isn't considered a reliable source, as well as [http://www.springawakening.com/cast/christopher-wood.html this] (a mini-profile), [http://www.elon.edu/e-net/Article/75762 this] (very short, minor news) , and [http://www.deadline.com/2013/01/quartet-cast-in-amazon-pilot-browsers/ this] ('tis obviously just a passing mention in a small news), which left us with one reference from a source that is rather primary. Moreover, you should normally wait until deletion process is over to rename the article. Alex ^{discussion ★} 10:20, 26 November 2013 (UTC)

• PS And take a look at his '[http://www.imdb.com/name/nm5534096/ filmography]': only minor roles in a few episodes of series that we don't even have an article here on Wikipedia, and [http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2718908/ one movie] that actually lacks enough votes to even have the IMDb rating! Alex ^{discussion ★} 10:36, 26 November 2013 (UTC)
• You should check your [http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2718908/ link] again, that is not one of his movies, the title you are talking about is "Borderline" which is actually an episode of The Carrie Diaries which you can actually find [http://www.imdb.com/title/tt3133066/ here], again please do proper research next time, the only other title is the television pilot for "Browsers" which is a high budgeted pilot from Amazon studios and also, if you look at his page, you will see this [Up 1,150% in popularity this week] which for those who do not understand IMDb, means his imdb page views went up by that percentage, his current starmeter rating (which everyone who deals with television/films related article relation know shows the popularity of a person..his starmeter rating went from 9450 to 752, which means he is the 752 most viewed person on IMDb on a list which consists over 5 million people which obviously carries onto his wikipedia page which currently has just under 9000 views and rising...He has roles in not one but 2 major shows + a stage actor and has been nominated for 3 awards which I didn't list in the article yet..one of the 3 requirements for notability is to have worked in multiple titles which also mind you includes stage work.--Stemoc (talk) 10:59, 26 November 2013 (UTC)

::::As a contributor to IMDB as well, personally, IMDb is MORE reliable than wikipedia as everything is SOURCED, referenced and DOUBLE CHECKED before being allowed unlike wikipedia where anyone can add anything, with our without source...and secondly its a very good Primary Source when it comes to CASTING news and if you even understood how SOURCES worked, you won't bother saying that...and maybe you should learn than when an article is NOMMED for deletion, before you try to get it DELETED, you have to do your part by trying to fix it..Notability is MORE important than the content and the person is notable and thus the next step is to FIX the article which is what i did...and fixing the capitalisation was AS important as fixing the articles content....and again DO NOT ever move an article that has been FIXED even if its on an RfC or an AfD.--Stemoc (talk) 10:31, 26 November 2013 (UTC)

• Delete WP:TOOSOON. Borderline notable, just not enough for me. And I hate miscapitalized articles. jni (talk) 17:02, 26 November 2013 (UTC)

::I fixed the capitalisation but it was reverted back by the nominator..again i urge people to look at the page history, the way it was created deserved a speedy deletion but i fixed it and it currently has over 11,000 page views, its not WP:TOOSOON because before his TV career, he was a stage actor..even if it gets deleted, I will re-create it because it silly to to delete an article for such a silly reason..I have seen worse getting kept.--Stemoc (talk) 04:40, 29 November 2013 (UTC)

:::Being a stage actor does not automatically qualify someone; they have to be notable. Any Tonys? Broadway credits? No. Your threat to recreate the article regardless is likely to get you in trouble here. Clarityfiend (talk) 06:28, 29 November 2013 (UTC)

:::"even if it gets deleted, I will re-create it" and watch as it gets deleted again per G4. Also, you shouldn't disrupt Wikipedia to make a point. Taylor Trescott - ^{my talk} + _{my edits} 21:01, 29 November 2013 (UTC)

• Userfy but delete for now - This is a compromise of keeping the article but away from article mainspace for now until he can at least get some more information and attention. My vote was also "Keep for now" so I was on the fence but I think compromising this would be good. I've searched since his TCD appearance and he's gotten a little attention but it's probably only the aftermath of TCD and I think he could use a little more.
