Submission declined on 1 December 2023 by Jamiebuba (talk). This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject (see the guidelines on the notability of people). Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

Jordan Jacobo is an American actor, screenwriter and film director who wrote the film Fletcher and Jenks (2016), wrote the series Jordan Loves (2017) and Sides (2021), and appeared in the films Expect a Miracle: Finding Light in the Darkness of a Pandemic (2020) and Long Live Xander the Great (2023).[1][2][3][4][5][6]
Early life[edit]
Jacobo was raised in San Ysidro, San Diego and resides in Imperial Beach, California. His father was part of the National Guard.[1]
Career[edit]
In 2017, Jacobo created Jordan Loves on KPBS, a series that covers areas throughout San Diego such as the Coronado Bridge. He had previously made the web series Jordan Hates and wanted to create a show that expressed his cheerful side.[2] In 2018, Jacobo adapted a story from postal carrier Ryan Bradford into a short film called 92115.[7] By 2020, he was co-host of the podcast You're Gonna Die Alone and his play Transit Stop was selected for Old Globe Theatre's Powers New Voices Festival.[8]
Jacobo co-wrote a series called Sides with Michael Lewis Foster in 2021,[3] based on sitcoms from the 1980s and 1990s, that screened at the San Diego Latino Film Festival.[4] In 2023, filmmaker Devin Scott directed the film Long Live Xander the Great, which was loosely based on Jacobo's childhood, and with Jacobo cast as the narrator.[5] The film screened in 2024 at the GI Film Festival San Diego.[6]
