• Delete. I didn't found sufficient coverage that makes him a notable actor Rondolinda (talk) 19:33, 15 June 2021 (UTC)
• Keep. On the contrary, has multiple significant works: played Anjela Bassett's son in How Stella Got Her Groove Back. THR writes:"Pagan is winning as Stella’s protective young son"https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie-news/how-stella-got-her-groove-back-review-movie-1998-1231716/, there are mentions in other reviews - and he was nominated for Image Awards (NAACP) for this role. Played one of leads in See No Evil (2006 film), and then played in Forever Strong [https://www.nytimes.com/2008/09/26/movies/26stro.html] and Grindiron Gang.[https://www.comingsoon.net/movies/reviews/16387-gridiron-gang-2]. Maybe it is even Speedy Keep. Кирилл С1 (talk) 20:53, 15 June 2021 (UTC)
• Delete i have got only one article from Hollywood Reporter. But there is no in-depth news about him so as per norm delete. Trakinwiki (talk) 15:59, 17 June 2021 (UTC)
• High profile site writes about his acting in the film. Does a NAACP, as well as multiple significant roles in high-grossing films not count? The actor had a starring role in a Disney film:[https://www.joblo.com/movie-news/awfully-good-movies-up-up-and-away-video-445],[https://www.slashfilm.com/up-up-and-away/].Кирилл С1 (talk) 11:33, 19 June 2021 (UTC)
• Per what norm? Кирилл С1 (talk) 15:25, 21 June 2021 (UTC)
• Delete Not as per the norm, lacks notability.Aloolkaparatha (talk) 03:24, 21 June 2021 (UTC)
• Why does he lack notability? He has multiple significant roles: a starring in Up, Up, and Away, a Disney film. [https://mashable.com/article/disney-plus-disney-channel-original-movies-to-stream/], [http://www.mtv.com/news/2271613/old-school-disney-channel-original-movies-to-rewatch/], his role in How Stella Got Her Groove Back was reviewed multiple times [https://www.avclub.com/how-stella-got-her-groove-back-is-a-sexy-vacation-romp-1829854993][https://www.bet.com/celebrities/news/2021/06/06/bet-awards-2021-angela-bassett-most-iconic-roles.html]. The film he co-wrote, co-starred in and produced received reviews in highly reliable newspapers[https://www.nytimes.com/2010/10/02/movies/02chain.html],[https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie-reviews/chain-letter-film-review-30130/] (3 in WP:Filmmaker).

• Keep. Meets criteria 1 of WP:ANYBIO as he was nominated for an NAACP Image Award which is widely covered in American press. Further, it’s pretty clear he meets criteria 1 of WP:NACTOR as well based on the evidence presented above and the sources in the article. This was a poorly thought through nomination.4meter4 (talk) 05:10, 23 June 2021 (UTC)
• Keep per {{U|Кирилл С1}} and {{U|4meter4}}. His nomination garnered enough coverage to satisfy the relevant standards. Bearian (talk) 17:44, 25 June 2021 (UTC)

• Delete. Insufficient coverage.Pipsally (talk) 14:16, 26 June 2021 (UTC)

• Weak keep per {{U|4meter4}}. I do not find the source coverage especially convincing, but the NAACP nomination is a valid point. I feel like this is a perfect edge case, and I am leaning in favour of the article here. --LordPeterII (talk) 10:26, 6 July 2021 (UTC)
• Keep Meets WP:ANYBIO. Slovenichibo (talk) 05:47, 7 July 2021 (UTC)
