The article was deleted back in 2014 for a lack of notability. That issue persists. There is some local news coverage of Wales of dubious quality, and quite a few interviews or promotional sources. What's lacking are independent reviews of Wales' performances or any indication that he meets WP:NACTOR. The Daily Record is the best source out there, but one good source is not enough.

Weak delete - gets close to WP:BASIC based on the Daily Record article but there's no other article that isn't at least a bit dubious in terms of reliability/independence. I did consider this coverage in Cosmopolitan but it seems a bit too close to a WP:GOSSIP sheet-type-article. FOARP (talk) 08:23, 30 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Strong delete. Gimme a break! The Daily Record article all but says: "This guy is NOT notable. He has had only bit parts (like the guys in red shirts on Star Trek!), and this is his first modelling gig." Some of his acting credits are community theatre roles as a child. Some of the roles listed are upcoming (maybe those films/tv shows will never be released, or his characters will be edited out). The Cosmopolitan article doesn't say anything about him except that they found some shlump who had a bit part in GOT and *doesn't like the show!* And nearly all of the roles listed in his WP article are unreferenced (and from non-notable works). He is so definitely not notable. -- Ssilvers (talk) 04:47, 31 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per nom, WP:NACTOR and the (abrupt but likely accurate) summary by Ssilvers. To which I have nothing to add. Other than to highlight the COI/SPA/PROMO overtones. Which are a contributory concern. Delete. Guliolopez (talk) 10:59, 31 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per reasons above. There is nothing in the article to suggest he meets notability. I would note that none of the projects/productions he is credited as being involved with would seem to be notable enough to have an article apart from one (Game of Thrones) where he is listed as being uncredited.
