This article reads like a résumé and has been principally edited by its subject. Has been a nominee for awards, but there is no real conveyance of notability beyond any other actor on Broadway. Fails WP:GNG. — That Coptic Guy^{ping me!} (talk) (contribs) 23:01, 22 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

• Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Actors and filmmakers, Theatre, Entertainment, and England. — That Coptic Guy^{ping me!} (talk) (contribs) 23:01, 22 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
• Comment: Entirely self-promotional, but that in itself isn't a reason to delete — what matters is independent coverage in reliable sources. I found an article from the Evening Standard, which is pretty good — direct coverage of Xavier for six paragraphs in an independent source. It's not enough to convince me right now, but if there's more out there along those lines, then Xavier could be a notable subject. Toughpigs (talk) 23:30, 22 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
• Comment Canadian actor with the same name [1], not the same person. I'll try to filter for a UK person. Oaktree b (talk) 00:22, 23 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete hits of notability, but this was the best I could find that wasn't simple PR [2]. I don't think we have enough for notability. Oaktree b (talk) 00:24, 23 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep. Clearly meets WP:ANYBIO #1 having been nominated twice for the very significant Laurence Olivier Award. -- Necrothesp (talk) 11:35, 27 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep: Necrothesp makes a good point; the Olivier award is a major award. Add that to the coverage I mentioned above, and I think it demonstrates notability. Toughpigs (talk) 21:16, 27 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep - as per @Toughpigs Mr Vili talk 22:51, 29 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep: references ain't great but Laurence Olivier Award is good. She was ^afairy 02:06, 1 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  This might be a trifling detail, but he did not win the award--only nominated for it. — That Coptic Guy^{ping me!} (talk) (contribs) 03:21, 1 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
