382:""Independent of the subject" excludes works produced by those affiliated with the subject or its creator. For example, self-publicity, advertising, self-published material by the subject, the subject's website, autobiographies, and press releases are not considered independent." Thus, you linking to the subject's website as a claim of his notability doesn't matter. And, once again, who's in the top 500 on IMDB is about a persuasive as being in the top 500 in the subscriber list on Youtube. It does not make the subject notable. Only independent, reliable sources with significant coverage do that. --

the Brad Pitt film he wasn't in was
Curious Case of Benjamin Button, this time it's World War Z. Last time the D-list diva girlfriend du jour was Christina Milian, now it's Shontelle. Last time he was on Oprah, now it's Wendy Williams with a hilarious 9 second edited video supposed to be proof. You get the drift. All the while he stands in front of a fake background of all his faves for Us magazine and again name checks Madonna as if mentioning famous people enough will mean he'll somehow become famous himself. How stupid does he think we are? --

him as a style innovator guess they need to fill pages? Eric is one of the brightest new stars and on many next big thing lists. This all sounds personal. Eric doesn't need to print some random paper and say he is on Smash. He's on MTV as we speak. Jealously is envy. I find it odd that people who don't follow Eric West have such a big opinion on him, with major sources like MTV and Conde Nast he's up for deletion.

to bypass the salt. Has been considerably fixed up since it's creation but still fails to show how this "celebrity" is notable. An unreleased album. Minor music production.

Your obsession with Eric West is also odd, inferring that all of these things make him notable. He's shooting for Smash for a week, sounds like a one episode bit part. The MTV article won't open, the GQ article doesn't infer notability, and being listed in the top 500 of IMDB is like saying he's in

That's exactly what I mean. People That don't follow Eric have an opinion on him. I just saw the MTV special. He's good enough for MTV but not a Wiki page? He can't even leave his house without being shot by paparazzi. They can't wait for him for

445:
In IMDB, his character isn't even named for the Tyler Perry film, and in World War Z, he's listed as "Jason" without a last name or any other details. The only Jason in the book World War Z appears on one page and has one line. Bit part. Not a major part, and per
517:, just a number of small roles and other minor non-notable work. If the "World War Z" film becomes notable when it is released, and if he has a significant role in it, then he might become notable, but that is in the future and we don't have a crystal ball here.
52:. The delete comments make the point quite correctly that if this person was genuinely notable, then there would be multiple significant sourcing about him in reliable sources. This does not of course preclude the subject being notable in the future.
