This (auto)biography is of a film director who has directed one short film. Although there has been some coverage, and I believe this individual may meet notability guidelines at some point in the future, I don't think he does quite yet. There is nothing here that satisfies WP:FILMMAKER. He has won a "Directorial Discovery" award at the Rhode Island Film Festival, but this doesn't seem to be a major award. Notability then seems to rest on "significant coverage in reliable sources". There is a bit in Le Post, but I"m not sure this counts as significant coverage, and I'm not even sure how reliable it is as a source. All other mentions that I have found seem to be trivial. It's not clear cut, but I don't think notability can be established at this time. Beloved Freak 17:31, 13 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I am adding (the short movie by the director) Red Balloon (2010 film) to this nomination. - Mike Rosoft (talk) 17:44, 13 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Keep the bio article, based on the above sources plus the nice interview of him in Plus Magazine [1] plus some consideration to his extensive credit list. At the moment, I am neutral on the movie article, although it has been screened extensively in festivals. --Arxiloxos (talk) 19:21, 13 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I agree that interview helps, and I'm leaning towards keep for the bio. I'm not sure how relevant the "extensive credit list" is though, a list of visual effects credits doesn't tend to confer notability. --Beloved Freak 19:41, 13 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I meant only that his long experience in FX, which is commented on by some of the sources, contributes to an overall sense that he's become notable. I agree that current practice wouldn't find notability based solely on a list of crew credits.--Arxiloxos (talk) 20:10, 13 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Comment A rewrite has been promised to improve the wording, and I'm suggesting they improve refs too. Peridon (talk) 16:41, 14 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

We've done a rewrite, put some reference and update the festivals with some links, would be also good to add the poster to the filmbox : http://redballoonthemovie.com/redballoonthemovie/gallery_files/Media/PosterRedBalloon_halfRez/PosterRedBalloon_halfRez.jpg --Alexis.wajsbrot (talk) 17:17, 14 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - 2010 he won the Directorial Discovery Award at the Rhode Island Film Festival says it all. keep.--BabbaQ (talk) 16:24, 24 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Although I disagree that winning this award "says it all" (is it a major award? I'm really not that familiar with it; Just winning any award does not generally make the subject automatically notable. WP:FILMMAKER may be helpful to check out) this is looking like a keep with the coverage in secondary sources that has been added. I kind of wish the film hadn't been added to this discussion though, as the notablity for the director does not necessarily make the film notable. (Try and stay signed in Alexis, I presume that's you below! And don't worry about removing the deletion notice, it will be removed soon enough when this discussion has ended.)

It's not a problem, you're allowed to edit anonymously, it's just less confusing in discussions like these, and makes sure people don't think you're two different people! --Beloved Freak 11:37, 25 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

When do we decide a discussion to be ended ?--Alexis.wajsbrot (talk) 10:00, 29 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
