• Comment: The sourcing is currently not sufficient to show that Devrient meets either the general notability guideline or the actor-specific notability guideline. The Frost Magazine, Female First, and Theatre Voice sources are all interviews that don't represent independent coverage (and Frost especially does not seem usable due to the very noticeable spelling and grammatical errors). The other two sources are not about Devrient and are instead about a show that he is appearing in.
  Additionally, the article itself is not written in an encyclopedic tone - There should not be a sentence that says "Sources that show notability" and proper nounds should be capitalized. ThadeusOfNazereth(he/him)^{Talk to Me!} 00:57, 24 October 2024 (UTC)

• Comment: Almost none of the information is sourced. There is one source (1 press release published in 2 different places = 1 source) and that only mentions his name in passing as one of the actors in an upcoming TV series. A press release does not count towards notability (for that, independent and secondary sources is required), and this particular press release does not constitute significant coverage. bonadea contributions talk 09:53, 17 October 2024 (UTC)
