Notable?Neutrality^talk 19:02, 9 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

weak keep - He's directed 24 films, mostly indie it appears, so I guess the question is how notable those are. His IMDB is here: http://imdb.com/name/nm0382776/ . Guroadrunner 19:48, 9 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Strong Keep His first film, Waxwork, was a minor horror hit under wide release in the late 80s and spawned several sequels. - Richfife 00:11, 10 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Weak keep. Wilcox is clearly notable, for Waxwork alone. The lack of sources and context in the article is problematic, as is a fairly astonishing dearth of info about the guy online. But I know sources do exist. This guy got major exposure in the horror press in the late 1980s. I wish I still had my 1988 issues of Fangoria. Ford MF 10:13, 10 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. No Reliable sources have done biographies or biographical articles on this person. IMDB is a list of jobs. IMDB bio's are submitted from unreliable sources and are not suitable for reference. IMDB is suitable as a supplment link for those otherwise notable and listed there. Piperdown 14:36, 10 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Keep for now, I'm not gong to hunt down sources right now, but I think it can be backed with some good ones. If no sources can be found within a short time, delete it. *Cremepuff 222* 19:57, 10 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Keep and enlarge + add sources.--Svetovid 22:54, 10 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I've added some sources to the article. Yeah, an image of a DVD case is not a traditional reference, but it should be reliable proof that he directed the film. Here's a poster for Waxwork in which his name is clearly visible: [1]. - Richfife 01:45, 12 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
