Draft talk:Adam Silver (actor)

Conflict of interest disclosure

I am the subject of the article Adam Silver and am editing with a conflict of interest per WP:COI. LaurentSheffield (talk) 22:52, 11 August 2026 (UTC)

Thank you for the review. I've gone through the sourcing with this feedback in mind and made concrete changes:

The core notability claims are supported by clearly independent, reliable sources with editorial oversight:

• SAG-AFTRA (Screen Actors Guild Award nomination, Outstanding Performance by an Ensemble, The Diplomat)
• Los Angeles Times (five separate pieces, including three full theatre reviews naming and assessing his performances specifically)
• Variety (casting announcement, Black Doves)
• Deadline Hollywood (casting announcement, Other Mommy)
• BBC News (Iris Prize award coverage, Black Hat)
• Radio Times and ScreenRant (cast guides, Eric)
• Stage and Cinema (two theatre reviews)
• TheWrap, TheaterMania, Frieze, and TheaterScene.net (four separate reviews of Straight Line Crazy)
• Santa Barbara Independent, LA Weekly (two pieces), StageSceneLA (two reviews), British Theatre, Time Out Chicago, and Playbill (additional theatre coverage)

I've also replaced or supplemented every BroadwayWorld citation that was previously the sole source for a claim:

• Two award-nomination citations (Stage Raw, 2016 and 2018) are now sourced directly to Stage Raw's own official nominee announcements rather than a third-party reprint.
• The 2014 Ovation Award nomination is now additionally supported by a Playbill piece confirming the production's nomination count.
• A routine credit (Fact & Fiction, Chicago) is now sourced to a substantive Time Out Chicago feature rather than a listing announcement.
• The co-producer credit for Exit Strategy is now sourced to a StageSceneLA review that explicitly states the producing credit, replacing a press-style rehearsal-photo piece.

BroadwayWorld no longer appears as the sole citation for any claim in the article. I'm happy to address anything further.

Update: BroadwayWorld has now been removed from the article entirely. The remaining citation (2014 Ovation Award nomination) is now sourced directly to LA Stage Alliance's own official press release, archived via the Wayback Machine, rather than any third-party site. The article no longer relies on BroadwayWorld anywhere. LaurentSheffield (talk) 01:04, 12 August 2026 (UTC)

Update, 12 August 2026: In response to the "Fails WP:NACTOR" comment, I've substantially overhauled the draft rather than resubmitting immediately. Changes include: restructured around the credits most relevant to WP:NACTOR, with critical assessment from named reviewers added for Straight Line Crazy, Hit the Wall, Exit Strategy, Sons of the Prophet, and other roles; corrected several claims that overstated what the cited sources supported; removed nine minor television credits sourced only to the episodes themselves; fixed dead links and citation inaccuracies throughout.

I've also asked a specific NACTOR question at the AfC Help Desk before resubmitting, since I'd rather get guidance now than risk a third decline on the same underlying question. LaurentSheffield (talk) 14:38, 12 August 2026 (UTC)
