You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

please consider adding actor Charlie Anson

I don't understand why Charlie Anson is not on Wiipedia. He was the love interest to the lead in 'Jane Austen Wrecked My Life', which admittedly not a blockbuster but internationally distributed. He also has does secondary roles in other films and series and some theatrical roles. Anne8Ko (talk) 23:42, 9 October 2025 (UTC)

Does he have significant coverage? If so, why not start writing an article about him? I'm not sure anyone here is likely to be more interested in starting such an article than you evidently are. DonIago (talk) 17:17, 10 October 2025 (UTC)

Awards navigation template bloat

I think we need to address the bloat of awards navigation templates, which I don't think we quite tackle in general. We only have WP:FILMBIO § Filmography navbox templates, and I would argue that awards templates (which just link to other people who also won the award) are even more indiscriminate than individuals' filmographies, which are at least works that the individual contributed to. The most egregious example I just saw that prompted this post is under Paul Rogers (film editor) § External links with ten awards templates, when even one is too much. There are lot of disadvantages to such a template per WP:CLT § Disadvantages of a template. We already provide links to the specific award in the individual's "Accolades" section, through which readers can see who else won if they are that curious. All the other names do not need to be loaded into the footer of the individual's article. I think we need to add to WP:FILMBIO to exclude awards templates. Thoughts? Erik (talk | contrib) 16:26, 24 October 2025 (UTC)

The same can be said for awards categories. They can be easily filled and positioned in a plethora of articles, but they are not always defining and as such they bloat the space. Οἶδα (talk) 05:58, 27 October 2025 (UTC)

Bella Ramsey

Hi all. A couple of us have done quite a bit of work recently on Bella Ramsey's page and plan to soon submit it for a GA nomination (after we've cleared a recent Maya set photo with the Wiki Commons team and added it in). I just wanted to ask whether we can add this WikiProject to the page, and if anyone has time to review it once it gets nominated that would be much appreciated. Of course if you have any words of wisdom before that then let me know. Thanks! Crp74 (talk) 13:29, 4 November 2025 (UTC)

Hello. I have now nominated the Bella Ramsey page for a good article status that I believe falls within the scope of this WikiProject. I would be very grateful if any editors here could take a look and consider reviewing it. Thanks! Crp74 (talk) 08:56, 7 November 2025 (UTC)

Request for feedback on Draft:Jay Pinak Oza

Hello. I’m seeking feedback on Draft:Your Article Title, a biography of an Indian cinematographer primarily active in Hindi cinema. I’d appreciate insight from project members regarding notability under WP:NPF, assessment of source quality (particularly Indian film-industry coverage), and suggestions for aligning the draft with the style and tone of high-quality cinematographer biographies. Any review or pointers would be very helpful. Thank you! TheGreatPredator (talk) 08:41, 15 November 2025 (UTC)

Request for input on AfD for actor, comedian and peace advocate Cliff Divine

Hello, I am reaching out for outside input on an AfD discussion related to the article about Cliff Divine. There appear to be several misunderstandings in the discussion, so I am hoping that editors from this project can help review the notability question with a clear look at the sources. First, it is important to note that Cliff Divine and Andrew Cliff Tisba are the same person. This can be verified through interviews, festival programs, public nonprofit documents, and media profiles. Some news outlets use one name while others use the other, but they all refer to the same individual. This clarification is important because it affects how the sources are interpreted. The article includes a large number of independent secondary sources from established news organizations. These include ABC, CBS, NBC, FOX, Orlando Sentinel, KHON2, KTVB, KUTV, Q2 Billings, and several international outlets. In these reports he is not mentioned briefly. He appears on camera and is the central focus of the stories. Film festivals and award committees have also published material that covers his work in a principal role. A link was provided that contains more than thirty broadcast news segments from major networks where Cliff Divine is clearly identified by name on air. These are public, independent broadcasts, and they show significant coverage that meets the expectations of WP:BIO. Most of the sources cited in the article come from established newsrooms with full editorial oversight. They are not self published and not produced or controlled by the subject. They meet the requirements for independent and reliable sourcing in a biographical article. There is also reporting on his acting awards, his film appearances, and a multistate public initiative that drew repeated coverage. This combination of sources shows significant independent attention over time, which satisfies the criteria for biographical notability. For clarity, I am not the subject of the article. I am participating only to correct factual misunderstandings and to help ensure the discussion stays focused on source quality and policy rather than assumptions about editors. In short, the subject has extensive coverage from reliable independent sources, including dozens of television news reports and multiple print and online publications. These appear to meet the requirements of WP:BIO, and I believe that additional input from this project would be valuable in assessing the article. The AfD discussion is here:

COI Edit Request for Draft: Hamed Behrouzi

Hello. I have a conflict of interest as I am the subject of the draft **Draft: Hamed Behrouzi**. I have added several reliable, independent, and secondary sources to the draft's talk page (**Dratt talk:Hamed Behrouz1**) to prove notability. Since I cannot edit the article directly due to COI policy, could an editor from this WikiProject please review the draft and the sources provided? Thank you.
