Delete I think this is pretty borderline, but WP:ACTOR looks for significant roles in multiple TV/film/etc. productions. Javone Prince appears to have a significant role in PhoneShop, but hasn't had significant roles in other productions. ɠǀɳ̩ςεΝɡbomb 16:45, 27 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Weak Delete No references that I could find to get him in under WP:GNG, so have to go by WP:ACTOR. I agree with Ginsengbomb said, that there hasn't been any significant roles besides PhoneShop. PhoneShop only ran for a seven episode season. I think this is a case of WP:TOOSOON. Bgwhite (talk) 06:30, 28 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per meeting WP:ENT in that some of his characters repeated in multiple episodes of notable productions... such as playing Jerwayne in 6 episodes of PhoneShop and playing Damien Scott in 5 episodes of The Verdict... showing that such were significant to those productions. Wikipedia does not require a multi-year run for any series for it to itself be considered notable, and while he has had lessor roles (as has all actors), we do not judge by only the the least of what he might have done. Inclusion is based upon verifiability and being perceived as perhaps just notable enough even if not seen as the most notable actor ever, and his work can be verified in multiple reliable sources.[1] AND, his work as a comic has also received attention,[2][3] so the GNG is comfortable approached as well.

Comment Hm. MQS raises some good points here, and the role on The Verdict appears to pass muster by the WP:ACTOR guidelines. Changing my vote. ɠǀɳ̩ςεΝɡbomb 02:41, 31 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Weak Keep per MQS. In particular, Prince's role in The Verdict, taken in concert with his role in PhoneShop, suggests he passes the WP:ACTOR guidelines, if perhaps barely. There's enough between these two roles and the coverage of his work as a comic unearthed by MQS above to change my mind, at least. ɠǀɳ̩ςεΝɡbomb 02:41, 31 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
