article was sent to PROD with the rationale: "Non-notable actor/screenwriter. No independent sources provided to establish notability."
PROD tag removed by subject himself (proof: [1]) talking in the third person, with the rationale: "This individual meets all general notability guidelines (GNG) as a simple Google search will illustrate. He is also known as Rollin Jewett. He is an actor and screenwriter with notable IMDB credits, a multi-published author and poet, an award winning singer-songwriter and has notable off-Broadway playwright credits. Suggest improving and updating page rather than deletion."
This is false. Google search of either version of the name brings up either social media pages, routine entries on databases (Imdb, mubi etc) or other routine coverage. In truth, none of the achievements listed in this article convey notability, or are covered in independent secondary sources. The article was created by the subject himself; clear self-promo.

- I've always countered with "Yes, the person does likely meet notability guidelines, but we need sourcing in RS that prove that. Being well-known doesn't mean you'll have article written about you, it's the latter that we look at." Oaktree b (talk) 13:15, 28 September 2023 (UTC)
- Delete there's pretty clearly no GNG here and none of his roles are sufficiently prominent to meet WP:NACTOR BrigadierG (talk) 11:16, 28 September 2023 (UTC)
- Delete: I would have also PROD, there just isn't sourcing to be found about this person. Three whole hits in gnews, in non-RS. Oaktree b (talk) 13:11, 28 September 2023 (UTC)
- Well, the first two hits are Linked in, then the Miami Vice wiki, so we're off to a rocky start. Then imdb and a Rotten Tomatoes list... Unless his Google search is vastly different than mine, or it has somehow changed since the comment was made, Google is a bust. Oaktree b (talk) 13:13, 28 September 2023 (UTC)
- There appears to be much more listed under his given name Rollin Jewett (Jarrett is a stage name). Perhaps the search should include those credits as well, or the page be renamed Rollin Jewett. 2603:6080:D03:5900:24DA:33E5:1719:5B89 (talk) 22:28, 2 October 2023 (UTC)
